Karla uses a distinctive palette of pastel and metallic colours and selects materials for their physical properties, from cotton wool, Vaseline, bath bombs and make-up to polythene, cellophane, powder paint and paper.

A sculptural installation by Sarah Sze — called The Waiting Room — gives Peckham Rye Station the glow-up it so throughly deserves.

Caragh Thuring takes as the starting point her own painting, The Foothills of Pleasure. Its title, a seemingly familiar literary reference, is in fact imagined by the artist to describe the geology of volcanic landscapes, as well as intensifying human passions. These foothills, fertile but perilous, are a place where life and death coexist and where rock is melted, […]
Aimee Parrott’s work exudes an atmosphere of interconnectivity. While the material possibilities of paint provide the primary productive force, reoccurring biomorphic motifs reveal an interest in transformations in ecological and geological structures within the biosphere. In Waterborne, Parrott makes use of the fluidity of the monotype process to create work where rhythmic gestures and forms […]
