The Shock of the Now Issue 25
Featured Exhibition Text
Sophie Ruigrok
'today I feel relevant and alive' Solo Exhibition
The Sunday Painter
26th January 2022

This issue’s Featured Exhibition is Sophie Ruigrok’s debut solo exhibition ‘today I feel relevant and alive’ at The Sunday Painter in Vauxhall. I’ve been an admirer of Sophie’s powerful pastel drawings since first seeing them during the artist’s time at The Royal Drawing School, so it was a pleasure to stand encircled by so many all at once. In addition, the exhibition is accompanied by moving poetry from Rachael Allen, and coincides with a Guts Gallery presentation of exciting emerging painters upstairs.
