Gentle intensity, luminous and self-contained. New work, and the spaces they enter

A number of new works have arrived on the site this week, each carrying a very distinct sense of presence.

We’re pleased to introduce new paintings by Penelope van Hoorn. Her work moves through colour with confidence and clarity, allowing instinct to lead. Large passages of paint remain open and responsive, holding movement, pause, and momentum in equal measure. At this scale, the paintings bring real energy to a room – active, alive, and quietly commanding.

There is also a beautiful new work by Coral Churchill. Her paintings hold a gentle intensity, balancing delicacy with emotional depth. This latest piece carries a particular stillness, inviting slow looking and a sense of calm attention.

We have new works by Paige Sutton, one of this year’s Emerging Art Prize nominees. Her paintings feel cinematic and inward, capturing moments that hover between containment and release. Figures appear suspended in their own atmosphere, luminous and self-contained, drawing the viewer into a reflective, intimate space.

And finally, a small but striking work by Maryna Shkoliar – a delicate circular painting of lips, just 10 x 10 cm. Quiet, precise, and intimate, it holds its own with remarkable focus.

All works are now available to view and buy on the site.

I love finding the right artwork for the right space, whether that’s a small project or something more substantial, and it’s often best to talk things through face to face on a video call. I’m opening short meeting blocks via the link below if you have a project you’d like to run through. If you’re working on something larger and need more time, just let me know.
