Strange Familiars
26-31 October 2021
Private View: Thursday 28 October 6-9pm

The people we meet, the places we visit, or even a simple object we have or use, can seem very familiar. But occasionally, when we are in that familiar place, or with those familiar faces or holding that familiar object we look again, and discover something new, something different, perhaps something strange. 

Twenty-two London photographers present ‘Strange Familiars’, a vibrant exhibition that perhaps catches a contemporary mood as much as it explores nuance in the everyday. With work that stretches from nature photography, street photography and portraiture to architectural studies and abstract, this compelling show presents a very diverse range of contemporary London photography.

Since their first exhibition eight years ago, this group of photographers has continued to present annual shows of stimulating, thought-provoking and visually exciting images. Join them at Espacio Gallery in October to see a surprising variety of viewpoints addressing the single theme: Strange Familiars.

Robin Barr, Hady Bayoumi, Héloïse Bergman, Dorota Boisot,

LOOP 2021
Artists in Print
2-7 November 2021
Private View: Tuesday 2 November 6-9pm
Closing Party: Sunday 3 November 3-6pm

LOOP is a collective of nationally and internationally exhibiting artists who come together with the aim of presenting some of the best in new printmaking through yearly exhibitions. The exhibitions have been running with considerable success since 2005.

LOOP is about creative freedom, encouraging participating artists to show their individual approach in their choice of technique, from the oldest print technologies through to the most recent digital developments, presenting work in both 2D and 3D that demonstrates great diversity in imagery and practice. The work shown each year is new work, which brings freshness and adds a progressive dynamic to the exhibition.

LOOP2021 will show work by printmakers with a wealth of experience. The core LOOP artists have MAs – mainly from Camberwell College of Art (and as usual this year we are including some more recent graduates in the mix); amongst the group are also artists who have been involved in founding print workshops, and in arranging and curating exhibitions and festivals.

This 16th anniversary show will proceed despite difficult conditions imposed by Covid. We have safety guidelines in place during the exhibition, which we will ask all to observe.

Artist taking part:
Lynne Blackburn, Anthony Broad, Richenda Court ARE,
Frank Dolphin, Scott Freeland, Jane Hodge, Julie Hoyle,
Fabienne Khial, Sharon Low, Fungai Marima, Jennifer Merrell,
Ralph Overill, Maki Takizawa, John Tate, Tricia Torrington

UNLOCKED
30 November - 5 December 2021
Private Views:
Wed 1 December 3 - 7 pm
Thur 2 December 6 - 9 pm

UNLOCKED is an exhibition which showcases recent work by three
artists: Ali Shipton, Sally Manning and Karen Colley. Their work
includes paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture and reflects on
personal and artistic freedom.

Ali Shipton - works mostly from observation through the Circus of Life
and Place. Her work is expressed through oils, acrylic and clay, and
ranges in style, colour, beauty and fear. An emerging artist, always
learning.

Sally Manning - uses erasure and redrawing, responding to elements
of accident and surprise. Her work alternates between figurative and
abstract and colour is an important part of her practice. Her recent
paintings are developed using thick paint, colour and overpainting.

Karen Colley - makes predominantly drawing based work using
different materials and approaches. Her recent work relates to views
and memories of a familiar landscape which has become the subject
for exploring space, media and abstract elements.

Exhibition Opening Hours:
Tue - Fri 1 - 7 pm
Sat 11 am - 6 pm
Sun 11 am - 4 pm

Private Views:
Wed 3 - 7 pm
Thur 6 - 9 pm
