One of the highlights of my year is Unfurling: Coming Out of Isolation, an inspiring collaboration between Fountain House Gallery (New York) and Bethlem Gallery (London).
The project brings together artists from both sides of the Atlantic, exploring how creativity can foster connection, hope and community.
On 23 July, both galleries will also host a shared online programme of artist talks, performances and films, bringing together audiences in London and New York in real time.
I also have some wonderful news... My painting Tiny Creatures has been selected for the front cover of the exhibition catalogue. It feels like a real honour and I'm delighted to share it with you.
About Unfurling: Coming Out of Isolation
I'm thrilled to be travelling there to meet the wonderful artists I've now collaborated with twice.
Our first collaboration was through Sharp Gallery's Mushrooms exhibition in London, where I met the artist Vermillion. What began as a chance meeting grew into conversations, shared adventures around London's galleries, and now an international exhibition celebrating creativity, connection and community.
Vermillion beautifully captures what this project has become:
"It is gratifying to see the artwork born through our transatlantic collaborative experience—a lovely unfurling of energies and expressions. To witness the growing of this show from the germ of an idea that came to me while visiting Bethlem Gallery cements my belief that working toward a better world, one step at a time—reaching out to each other—can build a communal space regardless of the surrounding turmoil... The excitement in the rooms! The intelligence, curiosity, resonance. The depth of feeling. The friendship blossoming. We did this!"
I would love for you to join us if you can.
