Ruth Bateman’s paintings are a rare encounter - Her mark-making resonates below language. You can almost feel the air shift: the shimmer of heat, the sound of crickets in the grass, stars flickering above a line of foliage. Scintillation, saturation, sensation. She has been shortlisted... […]

Three artworks to bring you home. […]

Since his sold-out MA degree show in 2021, Andrew Szczech has continued to gain serious attention. Most recently, his work was selected by a London curator associated with Sarabande, the ICA, and Forbes 30 Under 30 - a sign of growing recognition within the contemporary... […]

Two artists, one undercurrent: the early pulse of recognition. Shared origin (RCA), different registers, but the same sense of forward motion. There are rumblings - sales, attention, the kind of interest that builds quietly. Their work is being noticed. Picked up, in some cases, by... […]
