Curated Collection – September 25

 

Our new curated collection for September brings together a selection of twelve works by Katherine Jones RA, Molly Martin and Natasha Michaels – in an imagined encounter an ancestor is revisited,  there is a hum at night, and a dreamscape to be found!

These works are exhibited on the wall throughout September and available online: HERE

Katherine Jones RA
Katherine Jones’ recent paintings and prints expand on the motifs of flowers with repeated echoes of stamens and petals, sometimes within the same image. There is a tangible shift within each delicate surface, reflecting the painterly qualities of luminous light and colour.
 
Molly Martin
In ‘Red Bed’ swaddled, squashed figures nestle and are surrounded by  ambiguous dream-like faces.
Martin has a particular preoccupation with ‘The Bed’ that is a reoccurring theme for inspiration  where memory and conscious thought combine like sequins in a kaleidoscope, and we are taken on new journeys through the dreamland.
 
Natasha Michaels
Natasha Michaels’ monoptypes seem to arrive at the intersection of history and the present, casting a disorienting glance at the past, while fixing an uneasy, almost accusatory stare on the present. Drawing on the rich, formal language of Renaissance and 19th-century portraiture, Michaels works with a palpable ambivalence—both celebrating and upending these traditional forms.
