Lily Senner<\/a> and Tom Hemming<\/a>, two boldly original artists on display with New Blood Art, both have their first solo show coming up, which is hugely exciting. It\u2019s something to celebrate: that a physical gallery has the confidence in an artist to platform their work in this way. Solo shows are reference points in the development of an artist\u2019s careers. It can often be an investment juncture, for the artist, signaling increase in value, as Sarah explains: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not surprising, is it, that this would be the case: a particular gallery is excited enough about the artist to invest in a solo show, then that particular artist gains an increased collector base from the increase in exposure and recognition. Solo shows are undoubtedly a relevant marker from an investment point of view.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Earlier this year we profiled Lily\u2019s work in relation to David Hockney<\/a>, because she also uses her gift for colour to a joyful effect. The intense hues that saturate her scenes make them pulsate: transfiguring them through an amplified sensory experience, using sophisticated perspective and depth. Of Hockney Lily admires his \u201csensual yet visually playful scenes\u201d as well as his \u201chonesty\u201d: the ability he has of capturing \u201csomething extraordinary within relatively ordinary landscapes\u201d, which we find to be an aspect of her work too. Lily\u2019s first solo show follows multiple group shows across the UK and in Tokyo since her graduation from Newcastle University. <\/p>\n\n\n

Tom Hemming\u2019s work has been showing alongside other artists over the past few years, particularly in London. In his work featuring striking images of people \u2013 both frenetic and intimate \u2013 the artist attempts \u201cto express movement. Not so much the movement of a figure\u2026 but more the passage of time made visible\u201d He seeks \u201cto engage in a dialogue that has existed throughout the history of painting\u201d and \u201cto pursue an emotional intensity through the accumulation of rapidly made gestural marks and constant re-working.\u201d The work is very personal to him: it’s of his close friends and family, using video footage he shoots in relaxed, unguarded circumstances. <\/p>\n\n\n

“I don\u2019t consider the paintings to be portraits, rather an attempt to record the sensations of a specific moment in time.\u201d <\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Tom will be showing at the Lewisham Arthouse, the Brockley Max arts festival, and Lewisham Borough of Culture 2022 celebrations, between May 26th and June 5th.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lily will be showing at the Gallagher & Turner gallery in Newcastle. Preview opening July 14th, with the show then running for a month. <\/p>\n\n\n
