We Outside
10th–19th April 2025
Firepit Gallery
"An exhibition celebrating Black Creative Endeavours, taking place from 10th–19th April 2025 at Firepit Gallery, Greenwich Peninsula, London.
Curated by House of Art as part of The Royal Borough of Greenwich, Black History 365 programme, We Outside provides a platform for artists who are often overlooked or less noticed, championing multicultural diversity and exploring themes of identity, legacy, and community through multidisciplinary works"
Gravity is the Weakest Force in the Universe
5th April - 31st May
Tension
"Tension is honoured to present Gravity is the Weakest Force in the Universe, a solo exhibition by Mark Wallinger. Through a diverse body of work, Wallinger explores fundamental forces, both physical and existential. His work reminds us that gravity is not just a physical force but a metaphor for unseen influences that shape human experience. From the shifting landscapes of Field Paintings and the mirrored self of Alter Ego to the eternal dance of opposites embodied in Caster and Pollux, the Gemini twins, the exhibition invites us to consider the forces that structure and shape our world"
Drawing the Unspeakable
Until 27th February
Tower Eastbourne
"Featuring over 200 works, Drawing the Unspeakable is an in-depth exploration of human experience through art. The exhibition brings together a diverse array of pieces that challenge the boundaries of speech, translating the unspeakable into the visual realm. Through these drawings, artists navigate themes of disaster, war, displacement and destruction, mental and physical illness, loss, grief, birth and family, dreams, memories, and imagination"
Fragmented Wholeness
29th March - 19th April 2025
"Fragmented Wholeness”, a group show at Mucciaccia Gallery, London, featuring the work of London-based artists Alessandra Risi, Rita Fernández, and Iris Garagnoux.
Working at the thresholds of painting, the artists explore the fragment as both a rupture and a portal. A part, no matter how distant, still calls forth the whole, tracing the fluid boundaries between self and environment, absence and presence, personal and collective histories, and the material and intangible"
Terra Firma: Isabella Dyson and Chris Dyson
Until 27th April 2025
The Grey Gallery
"London-based artist, Isabella Dyson and her father, architect Chris Dyson, explore the shared ideals of their disciplines in this collaborative exhibition. Their works reflect a similar pursuit of serenity and visual enjoyment, in different ways expressing form, beauty, light, emotion and craft. Isabella’s paintings capture imagined landscapes inspired by Suffolk’s coastlines and big skies, while Chris’s drawings reflect a way of thinking about space, and committing places, forms and ideas to memory through a sketch"
Ooh!
24th April - 31st May 2025
Union Pacific
"Oliver Osborne (b. 1985, Edinburgh, Scotland) lives and works in Berlin. Encompassing both figuration and abstraction, the artist uses repetition, as well as tweaks in composition and chiaroscuro, to excavate new images from sustained, often art historical fixations. In this sense Osborne explores painting’s malleability over time, as well as its relationship to the personal– his subjects range from recognisably appropriated figures of portraiture to his own family. Spanning such variations as silk-screen, monochromatic abstraction and photorealistic oil painting, the artist’s practice is never constrained. And although he may paint a singular subject multiple times, each rendition is never the same"
Veils of Space: Hannah-Sophia Guerriero
4th April - 17th May 2025
Alma Pearl
"Alma Pearl is pleased to present Veils of Space, Hannah-Sophia Guerriero’s debut solo exhibition in London since completing the Apollo Painting School.
Sensuous and intimate are some of the adjectives that come to mind when confronted with Guerriero’s miniature paintings. Her painted depictions are drawn from highly selected details of her own photographs, exploring the ephemeral nature of the everyday through a personal focus and lens. Direct, one of the two works in the presentation, is a self-portrait referencing Hans Holbein's A Lady with a Squirrel and a Starling – here a cameo of sorts to the artist who painted some of the earliest and most beautiful known miniatures in Western painting. At Ease explores the hidden beauty of the mundane by overlapping two of the same photographs, captured while driving through the Peak District. In both instances, Guerriero magnifies a detail of the photographic image – an act of curation or mediation – to then reproduce the chosen segment pictorially. The conceptual gesture of zooming in is by definition, to make something bigger and more visible, which here has to contend with the minimal size of the support. Both pictorial images are set against a blank background displaying a further engagement with scale within the confines of the picture plane"
You Make Me Feel
5th April - 29th June
Lake Gallery
"Guest curator A—Z (Anne Duffau) presents a group exhibition with three multidisciplinary artists: Jeanie Crystal, Zein Majali and Emily Pope. Relating to the theme of diaries and self narratives in all forms – including stories, notes, music, self-reflection, social networks and periodic writing – You Make Me Feel is a chunk of emotions, a bundle of affects, a note to your future self.
Alongside film work by each of the artists, this iteration of You Make Me Feel presents a set of newly commissioned lightbox prints, playing on the moody and cinematic nature of these devices"
