Highlights
Artists
Kate Burling
Kate Burling graduated from Camberwell College in 2022, and now lives and works in South London. Burling’s hazy paintings mimic and violate organic structures within the sensitive body. Using her hands and latex gloves as tools, Burling considers the impact of ‘sharp’ externalities on the soft bodily core, presenting a near-explosive tension at their meeting point. In the past year, Burling has exhibited with Christie’s London and various London galleries including Liliya, London, Elysium, Swansea and Split Gallery, London, and is a current Artist in Residence at Pictorum Gallery, London.
Eva Dixon
Eva Dixon lives and works in London. Dixon takes the persona of a ‘mad-scientist’, investigating materials and subverting their purpose to fit a need within the work. Most recently this has taken the form of sheer polyester assemblage stretched over re-constructed stretcher bars. The geometric forms in Dixon’s work are pulled from construction, mirroring the appropriated materials the artist uses such as electrical shrink tubing, paracord and recycled wooden pallets. In doing this Dixon blurs the lines between painting, sculpture and craft whilst investigating how the relationship between opacity and transparency can expose the structure and surface as one. Dixon’s use of stable and unstable materials leaves the work in a constant tension, offering a site to question making process and the binaries between labours.
Vilte Fuller
Vilte Fuller primarily makes figurative paintings depicting glamorous hellscapes taking influence from the popularity of dystopian narratives in 21st century media and storytelling from her Baltic heritage. Each individual painting is a small vignette of a larger whole with recurring characters, landscapes and motifs. Solo exhibitions include 'Strangers by the side of the road' at Polina Berlin Gallery, New York (2022), 'Little Kiosk of Bone Juice' at Niru Ratnam Gallery, London (2022) and 'The shuttle to the moon has crashed and now I am falling' at Superzoom, Paris (2021).
Henry Gibbs
Henry Gibbs lives and works in London. As a painter, he utilises various painting methods to achieve dynamic and chaotic movements in an effort to decode themes of identity, sexuality, masculinity and nonsequential narratives particularly in relation to digital environments. His process takes on a series of palimpsestic failures to form the final image. Henry has exhibited with Ridley Road Project Space, London (2022) and The Who Gallery
Choon Mi Kim
Choon Mi Kim is a South Korean artist based in London. Kim completed a MFA at Goldsmiths, London (2022) and a MFA in Painting from the Korea National University of Arts, Seoul, South Korea (2012). Kim works on paintings that fully embody the painterliness of it, along with an interest in the visual agreement that the result produces.
Abi Ola
Abi Ola’s artwork currently features in the Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2022 survey exhibition at South London Gallery in Camberwell, after she graduated with an MA from the Slade School of Fine Art last summer. Ola’s multi-media artworks amalgamate a persistent pursuit of pattern with a therapeutic, repetitive painting process. A combination of pre-existing patterned textiles, often imbued with a personal narrative, alongside the artist’s own painting or screen-printing of recurring emotive motifs intentionally overwhelm the viewer. Amongst the rich abundance of imagery, the addition of mirrored elements allow the viewer to inhabit the artwork themselves and their own quiet moment of reflection.
