Giotto’s Joy
Adam Derums
Adam Derums upholds the primacy of subjective experience in new paintings that are purposefully developed and revealed through slow and meditative studio processes.

Eclipsing
Chris Hopewell
A new painting series by Chris Hopewell provokes an imagined presence through absence, alluding to notations of recorded time and history. Highly reflective resin surfaces obscure and engulf, providing focal points that combine with layers of paint to constantly reinvent the composition; echoing the randomness that is ever-present around us.
21 May—18 June
Reflections on the Edge
Michele Theunisssen
New works by Michele Theunissen utilise a simple painting technique to draw attention to two states colliding – sometimes with force, sometimes unravelling, sometimes coalescing. One entity meets another, one state of awareness meets the unknown: an unformed unfathomable certainty. At the edge is a threshold, perhaps a precipice, perhaps a sliding into grace, or a transition to opaque formlessness.
Rock, Paper, Scissors and Sigh
Frank Morris
Morris explores painting in its complexity, in a new series in which each work can be positioned through 360 degrees. He skillfully overlaps literal, figurative and metaphorical conversations, alluding to oscillating relationships and informing a methodology for decision-making.
