Our new group exhibition, exploring figuration, stylisation and a blurring of realism, includes Seatton, Emma, Richard B, James Rennie, and Toyin.

Each featured artist has a highly distinct visual language, working from found images and their own imaginations to create both new and familiar worlds. Everyday objects and scenes are reimagined, resulting in visions of life that are recognisable while also completely singular and unique.

The works on show all tell a story of how distinct the 9 exhibiting artists are. This is perhaps most observable in the ways that each artist makes their mark - with how they make contact with the surface. By paying attention to the lines, daubs, scratches and stripes, one can start to feel a unique physicality, a sense of a unique body and mind behind every piece. Ultimately, the work is a record of each of their individual personhoods in a world that otherwise seeks to categorise them solely by their disability and render them indistinct. Simply, they are statements that they are here, that they exist, that they have a voice.
