MAMMA, a solo exhibition by Kimi Zoet, featuring works created during her walks in the Cornish landscape over the past two years. It was during these quiet hours in the open air — among wild grasses, shifting skies, and salt-soaked wind — that a story began to take shape. Two characters emerged: Mamma, a bird-like figure of strength and unwavering care, and Pineapple Person, a tender, symbolic version of the artist herself.
'Through the Splinters', a group exhibition opening on February 18th, featuring the works of Shuangyi Li, Daniel Arteaga, Jennifer Jones, and Sophie Smorczewski. Time today feels both fractured and blurred. Days are fragmented by countless distractions, pulled apart by the demands of modern life, yet when reflected upon, they dissolve into an indistinct haze. What remains are fleeting fragments—scattered moments and incomplete impressions—that we struggle to piece together into a coherent narrative of memory and meaning.
Equilibrium “龢”, with Professor Lu Xiaobo, curated by Ann-Marie Richard, Director of Sotheby’s Institute of Art, New York. The exhibition arrives in London as part of Professor Lu Xiaobo’s 2024 Exhibition World Tour, on view from 25th October to 25th November 2024. “龢”(hé), the ancient variation of the character “和“, signifies equilibrium, harmony, peace – a central value in the Chinese culture that trace back millennia. Representing an ideal state between man and society, man and nature, and man and self, the exhibition looks to extend the concept beyond ancient philosophical pursuits but also in reflection of the present state of London, a diverse and inclusive community that is grown out intertwining rhythms, lives, and stories. The phonetic similarity to “crane” in Chinese, 鹤 (hè), the title also refers to the animal that frequents Professor Lu’s paintings on view, a divine creature that is worshipped in Chinese mythology for its power of transcendence, wisdom, and longevity
