NOW SHOWING | Michael Taylor 'Hiding in Plain Sight'

Come visit the gallery to experience Michael Taylor's latest solo exhibition.

In Hiding in Plain Sight, Michael Taylor invites us to look more closely at the familiar. Figures, still lifes and fragments of landscape emerge just clearly enough to be recognised before shifting into something more ambiguous. Through flattened space, layered compositions and subtle visual relationships, the exhibition lingers in the space between recognition and interpretation, where meaning remains open and constantly evolving.

🗓️ Exhibition dates: 2–25 July

UPCOMING EXHIBITION | Luke Thurgate works from 'New Old School'

Exhibition dates: 9 – 25 July

Luke Thurgate's works reimagines the visual language of the Western Canon through a contemporary q***r lens. Drawing on Renaissance and Baroque traditions alongside popular culture, his richly layered works explore themes of identity, excess and longing.

Populated by enigmatic masked figures, the exhibition balances parody with sincerity, vulnerability with transgression, inviting viewers to reconsider the cultural narratives that continue to shape the present.

Join us on Saturday 18 July from 2–4pm for artist talk.
