Curated Collections

In these works of people, you’ll find introspection, psychedelia, monumental figures, vulnerable ones, groups at table and couples in a world of their own. 

You can tell a history of art through a material history of colour.

At a certain mid-scale, say between 60cm – 90cm, the work usually doesn’t dominate, but is still a notable presence. Instead of taking centre-stage in your visual field it integrates into your space, becoming more intrinsically a part of the environment.

Organic swarms of shapes are in the process of evolving; the artist’s use of opposing flows and contrasting rhythms makes for a fascinating experience of harmony.

Welcome to the pop worlds of Tyler Watson, where overlooked objects become main characters. Desk lamps, monstera plants, support units and more re-emerge with humour and magic from the background of daily life. 

Whether through scenic paintings or abstract optical illusions, these artists have a feel for embodying the movement and adjustments we ever make to stabilise.

If a work speaks to you, though you can’t explain how; if you can imagine it in your space and living beside it then this, in itself, is a key way to value that artwork.

Paint can always be, is always applied anew. The original movement of Abstract Expressionism sought unprecedented ways of creating the substance of feeling.
