The Significance of Heirloom Art for Growing Families

In this group of artists, intimacy, memory and abstraction intersect in various ways, but all share a sensitivity to the fleeting: the neglected image, the half-remembered location, the unsteady limit in between what we see and what we feel. Together, they form a peaceful however insistent meditation on how suggesting accumulates in common life.

Taken together, rendered in her unique painterly style, these retellings of easily-forgotten minutes demonstrate how a regular life, when taken a look at from a certain perspective, starts to radiate a palpable sense of significance.Rosemary Burn Bowl of cherries, 2025 Mona Sultan's photocollages describe the fragmentary nature of memory and significance, calling photographic fact into question by breaking down, recontextualising and duplicating images. Stabilizing methodical accuracy with a noticeably human, always imperfect visual perceptiveness, his paintings are lighthearted abstractions for the digital age.Luke Rudolf Fizzog 4, 2025 Jo Berry's airbrushed paintings provide physical forms to images that we usually see through a screen andrapidly forget, such as stock photos and ReCAPTCHAs. To me, her distinctive language hazy, distorted, discreetly unsettling reflects the alienation and dissociation intrinsic in a world filled with imagery that appears to appear and disappear ever-more quickly. A shadow, a handstand, a large drape draped over a houseplant: by photographing such things, he offers them a 2nd life in which they end up being permanent. Emile Kees Handstand, 2023 Jo Hummel's minimalist abstractions have a specific ahistorical quality; they connect several histories of material experimentation and production from around the world within a special visual language. They situate the audience within landscapes that feel endless with a low mist hanging over the horizon. Unfamiliar, these images are deeply peaceful, welcoming you to revel in the basic pleasures of a constantly twilit, pastoral world.Llus-Carles Peric Cap a La Calma, 2014 The scenes that Bianca MacCall paints a train window showing the carriage's interior over the passing landscape; a barely-visible vehicle hidden by an ochre-yellow curtain seem intentionally strange. They make me believe about the synchronised absurdity and charm of the world in front of me, considering familiar scenes through an unknown lens. Bianca MacCall Continuous Movement, 2023 Henry Ward's painting practice is ever-shifting. If you stand in front of one of his paintings for long enough, you may see it alter in genuine time. The uncertain, unpredictable nature of his work is what makes me keep going back to it.Henry Ward Bethany III, 2023.
