Harrison Pearce
'Host' Solo Exhibition
Carl Kostyál
16th February 2022
This issue’s Featured Exhibition is Harrison Pearce’s solo exhibition ‘Host’ at Carl Kostyál in Central London. Harrison has his studio with us at Collective Ending in Deptford, so I was lucky enough to have an intimate insight into the creation of this exhibition, and the hard work that has gone into it that I am pleased to report has more than paid off.

'Good Fats' Solo Exhibition
Ginny on Frederick
2nd February 2022
This issue’s Featured Exhibition is Tom Worsfold latest solo exhibition ‘Good Fats’ at the fantastic Ginny on Frederick in Farringdon. Tom’s latest paintings feel like a natural progression from his poignant previous exhibition at Bloc 336 of 2020, and Ginny on Frederick once again proves its prowess in presenting the most exciting and engaging exhibitions around.

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.
