We are delighted to announce that Harriet Mena Hill has been shortlisted for The John Ruskin Prize: Agent of Change 2019.  Among a strong selection of works, three of Hill’s recent Soft Concrete images will be shown at The Holden Gallery, Manchester (12 July – 24 August 2019). Soft Concrete is an on-going project that seeks to challenge the perception of so called ‘sink’ housing estates.

A number of our represented and associated artists are currently exhibiting in the RA Summer Exhibition. Works selected include Denise de Cordova’s sculpture Carrying the Hot Blur, James Fisher’s canvas Isabella Bird, two large paintings on paper by Peter Rasmussen and recent oils on panel by Trevor Sutton.

Fionna Murray’s solo exhibition Metropolitan Pastoral runs at the Hyde Bridge Gallery, Sligo, from 26 June – 16 July, 2019. The recent paintings are images developed from her exhibition at the Eagle in 2016 which was a response to Antonioni’s iconic film Blow Up.

Forthcoming Exhibition:
HARRY ADAMS: Victory Over the Sun 12 July–2 August, 2019
With the title taken from the crazed 1913 Futurist Opera for which Kazimir Malevich made his first Black Square painting,  Harry Adams presents an exhibition of new paintings and prints that continue musings on apocalyptic romanticism. Fusing visions of the bucolic English landscape with meditative forays into near abstraction, these are paintings of the micro/macro world offering up material and formal beauty alongside gleeful allusions to existential torment.

Sun you bore the passions
And scorched them with flaming beam
We’ll yank a dusty coverlet over you
Lock you up in a concrete house!

From Victory Over the Sun, 1913
