Nikolai Ishchuk
Glyph (1c)
48 × 38 × 6 cm
Chemigrams on resin-coated paper, soft pastel, oil ink, pearlescent medium, acrylic varnish, mounting tape, fixtures£2,500
Sitting at the intersection of painting, alternative photography, drawing, and sculpture, Ishchuk’s practice probes the threshold at which simple components start to resolve into complexity through both iteration and inflection. Recent work in particular looks at the conditions of (dis)continuity and (dis)contiguity, with interlocking forms achieving seemingly simultaneous perspectives and producing a kind of glitchy utopian visual architecture.
Combining gestural and hard-edge elements, the economy of means seems to project precision, but that is undermined by the temperamental, hand-executed processes. The work’s competing tensions and ambiguous materiality give it a sense of multiple temporalities and spatial possibilities unfolding.

Kate Grimes
Falling
85 × 350 cm
Tracing paper£125
Falling was part of an earlier body of work where I was looking at how objects and materials affect/are affected by and become integrated within their surroundings. The maple leaves used were taken from the maple tree in Hendon Park which is cited as one of the largest Japanese Maples in London and recognised as one of the Great Trees of London (2008)

Claude Vergez
Constructs Powder Blue & Pink
90 × 80 cm
Acrylic and Chalk on Canvas£4,000
Picking out the constructs of painting, I find the process of looking a transformative experience, it’s not about looking at a picture or a narrative, but a physical experience. One feels the thought process made manifest by the materiality of the paint and the gesture of the artist.

Gilbert Wedam
THE FOLK
Approx. 15 cm tall
3D Resin, acrylic airbrush£180 each
Each FOLK begins just as a single mark, drawn randomly. Then doodling away subconsciously until, when, then, a stroke finds its story, and shapes fall into character. Finding something. By not looking for it.

Origin I
85 × 65 × 3 cm
Acrylic and crystallised salt on paper£1,200
Collective consciousness suggests we are bound within and through nature, not separated from it. A singular energy is shared across all living things, and this piece seeks to give form to that interconnectedness.

Juliet Stedman
Intrusive Thought
76 × 101 cm
Oil on canvas£2,500
This painting is inspired by vivid, unwanted, and distressing thoughts that are often violent or graphic in nature. These thoughts can appear at any moment occasionally when one is alone with their thoughts. People experiencing these thoughts respond by suppressing, mentally checking or avoiding them which can lead to feeling worse. The painting may look like a realistic still life however there is a surreal element of a knife introduced. The painting shows aesthetically pleasing textures such as marble and brass. This contrasts with the dark and fearful undertone, self-harm, symbolised by the knife.

Luca Levai
Close enough to whisper
120 × 150 cm
Mixed media on canvasNot For Sale
This collage painting ’Close enough to whisper’, is part of a series of works that explore the use of large scale somatic mark making in movement. By working closely with the body’s emotional responses, the piece represents the fragmented, kaledoscopic nature of our memories, dreams, emotions and the conscious and subsoncious distortions of our own percieved reality. It combines and merges the artist’s own response on introspective themes such as freedom, grief, safety and love, serving as an assembled tapestry of being.

Conni McKenzie
Where the Wild Watches
76 × 51 cm
Archival pigment ink onto a maple wood panelNot For Sale
Where the Wild Watches responds to the enduring figure of the “man of nature,” historically tied to whiteness, masculinity, and dominance over land. Here, that figure is displaced. A Black woman appears within the landscape not as subject or performer, but as something already of it, partially seen and uninterested in being centered. The absence of clothing removes imposed identity markers, allowing the body to register through relation. The work resists spectacle, positioning wilderness as a space of negotiated presence rather than ownership. A companion documentary blog reflects on the journey as reclamation, exploring adventure as a method for re-encountering self, land, and embodied experience.

Lucy Algar
Drawing of Vortex rehearsal. Choreographed by Russell Maliphant
21 × 15 × 300 cm
Korean ink on cartridge paperNot For Sale
On 17.12.2025 I was very lucky to be given the opportunity to draw in rehearsals for VORTEX choreographed by Russell Maliphant. These rehearsals took place in his studios at Excelsior studios. The dancers' movement was swift and precise, especially when they worked with the large moving element of the set. My ink drawings are made through close observation in a similarly swift, yet precise, manner.

Harry Hancock
Doux View
10 × 15 cm
Watercolour Monotype on Gessoed Linen£400
First glances can be misleading or incomplete. By pausing to look again, we open ourselves to alternate interpretations, and the potential for transformation of the familiar. This act of reconsideration can shift perception, revealing truths otherwise overlooked.
Glazed Watercolour Monotype on gessoed linen, the surface appears dappled and varied by the glaze that has been lightly sanded.

Zakee Shariff
We Have Got To Come Together
39 × 27 cm
Water colour on paper£200
In this new painting, Zakee reflects on our ever-evolving world and the growing call for humanity to come together in a transformative movement toward healing. The work explores our profound interconnectedness, echoing the hidden root systems of trees that intertwine beneath the surface. On an energetic level, we are similarly connected, and by consciously tuning into this shared frequency, we can bring about collective healing and meaningful change for humanity and Mother Earth.

Chieh-Lin Wu
Vein
40 × 50 cm
Digital Photography£250
This image focuses on the surface of a natural form, where texture, colour, and structure begin to resemble something bodily. Through close observation, the subject shifts away from its original identity and instead suggests associations with skin, muscle, and veins.
By isolating the form and removing its context, the image invites a slower way of looking, where familiar elements become ambiguous. The work explores the subtle boundary between the organic and the human, allowing the viewer to move between recognition and uncertainty.

Amilla Sadhra
Bossman in Blue
84 × 118 cm
Oil on canvas£2,000
This work explores the corner shop as a site of quiet observation. The shopkeeper, often overlooked—becomes a silent witness to everyday life: small rituals, fleeting encounters, and both good and bad decisions. Through layered, visually dense compositions, the painting reflects the emotional and social complexity held within these spaces. Familiar environments become charged with atmosphere, where repetition, clutter, and visual noise create a tension between comfort and overwhelm. The figure is partially obscured, absorbed into his surroundings, blurring the boundary between subject and space. The work shifts attention away from spectacle, focusing instead on subtle, lived experience and the quiet weight of observation.

Zhanel Turarova
Emotions & Nature: A Miniature Series
10 × 10 cm each
Mixed media on canvas: acrylic, ink, and watercolor£15-45
This series of miniatures is an exploration of fleeting emotions and the quiet beauty of the world around us. By working on a small scale, I invite the viewer to come closer and connect with personal moments—from the serenity of a night sky to the delicate details of nature. Each piece is a 'visual diary' entry, capturing a mood through a blend of precise lines and soft colors.

My Sister, Georgia
16 × 20 cm
Graphite pencil on 200gsm cardNot For Sale
This graphite portrait honours my big sister, Georgia (October 1995 – March 2026). The drawing brings together moments from across her life, reflecting how memory holds every age at once. Georgia lived with Juvenile Alexander’s disease — an extremely rare and progressive neurological disorder — yet her life was defined by joy, resilience, and connection. This piece is both a celebration and a remembrance of a life lived fully.

Regan Boyce
We Measured the Sky
40 × 30 × 150 cm
Painted steel and frosted acrylic£4,000
This monument of balanced structures looks to the idealism of retro futurism. These objects are imagined as independent hovering entities in some gravity defying field. Grounded in colours reminiscent of children's building blocks, ‘We Measured the Sky’ looks at the hopefulness that came with atomic and space age technology, ideas and science fiction, the house of tomorrow, an end to the world's troubles and the naivety to believe we would solve everything with flying cars, rockets and robots.

Long Doan
Transmission Network
40 × 50 cm
3D digital sculpture, printed on paper£700
This digital sculpture visualizes the "Wood Wide Web" through a telecommunications lens, merging industrial structures with vibrant, moss-covered nodes of alien flora and bioluminescent fungi. It serves as a striking metaphor for a future where technology and nature function as a single, seamless, and interconnected living network.

Brooke Fitzsimons
DEEP
100 × 100 cm
Oil on linen£1,250
Brooke Fitzsimons builds up the colour and the images in her paintings with many transparent, oil paint glazes. She deliberately sets up formal oppositions: a flat silhouette versus tonal rendering; man-made forms versus natural ones; hard-edge versus soft-focus. She thinks of this tension - between two opposing extremes - as a distilled representation of all human experience: the tension between reason and nature, between our inner world and the reality of existence.
