Errol Theunissen A quiet moment, before the show opens
Errol Theunissen, an artist whose work sits at a powerful juncture.
His upcoming solo show at Texture, Manchester (opening May 30th) is one of three exhibitions launching the new space. It follows two significant group shows at BSMT Space in London: Ascension and Vignettes: Interpreting Nostalgia. A trajectory is forming, and his work is about to become much more visible.
There’s a tenderness in Errol’s painting that’s hard to describe but instantly felt. Children wrapped in blankets, dogs resting close. The texture of the paint mirrors the texture of the moment, the soft fur, the fabric, the warmth between them. These aren’t staged scenes. They’re moments of safety, closeness, and care, rarely named, and rarely made visible without distortion.
An opportunity to collect before the moment shifts.
