In the lead up to our online exhibition ‘Sunnyside’ we asked Kirsty Budge a few questions at her studio, you can read the full ‘studio visit’ feature in the link in our bio and learn about her fascinating painting practice 🌞

‘Emerging from an intuitive process shaped by dream analysis, memory and observation, her practice examines the thresholds between psychological and material space, a land where melancholy and carnivalesque absurdity coexist.’

Paintings pictured: ‘You have now entered the human heart’ 2026, ‘Fog erotique’ 2026 and ‘Hyperbolic chamber’ 2026

Our Johnny Izatt-Lowry exhibition ‘Something else, somewhere else, in somebody else’s house’ closes this Thursday 🌻thank you Johnny for another exquisite body of work

Commuter time, the lights up, lights down, hour of day - a city stirring beneath the surface. Mundane lives and rituals glimpsed behind curtains. Familiar objects made unfamiliar through glass. The curious aspect of one’s own life when viewed glancingly from the outside. In Something else, somewhere else, in somebody else’s house Johnny Izatt-Lowry’s third solo exhibition at Cooke Latham the artist interrogates the act of looking, probing the porous division between private and public space.

Today we are super excited to launch our online exhibition of paintings by Australia based, NZ born artist Kirsty Budge

Titled ‘Sunnyside’ the exhibition is made up of nine framed paintings, each measuring 28 x 23 cm

While staying in a small apartment in an old mansion in Crown Heights, Brooklyn Kirsty Budge was drawn to the word ‘Sunnyside’ engraved on an external wall. It struck a cord with her as ‘Sunnyside’ is coincidentally the name of a former mental asylum in Christchurch, NZ that notoriously housed the painter Rita Angus and writer Janet Frame, both of whom have influenced Budge since her childhood. Finally, she found herself making this new body of work while reading about Albert Camus during his time in New York – it mentioned that one of his favourite things to do was to read the latest copy of Sunnyside, an undertaker’s journal.

Johnny Izatt-Lowry ‘Something else, somewhere else, in somebody else’s house’ continues until the 21 May, thank you so much everyone who has popped by already!

Formally the works are dense with historical reference. The muted tones and flattened planes of the early Renaissance, of a Giotto fresco or a Cimabue altarpiece, can be traced in the curious palette and eerie stillness of Izatt-Lowry’s compositions. Likewise the tongue in cheek energy of Georges Braque’s cubist still lives can be mapped in his playful grouping of objects. This obsession with the foreword and postscript to an era of perspectival accomplishment establishes the quiet stage upon which Izatt-Lowry works. The paintings ask questions as to what was lost with the gain of mathematically rendered space.

We are excited to announce our second solo exhibition with Serena Korda ‘The Golem Rises’

5 June - 3 July 2026

The opening reception will take place on Saturday 6 June for London Gallery Weekend when Serena will be in conversation at 12pm & 3pm, coffee & English sparkling wine will be served all afternoon ☕️

In ‘The Golem Rises’ the artist explores the transformative power of motherhood and the wild, elemental energy of creation while acknowledging the societal pressure to subsequently narrow, contain, and domesticate the self.

We couldn’t be more excited to share this exquisite body of work with you all, our third solo exhibition with Johnny

In ‘A window’ the viewer surveys a human silhouette and still life through curtains. There is an act of voyeurism at play contingent with the way we digest composed vignettes of stranger’s homes via social media. Izatt-Lowry’s paintings acknowledge this digital proliferation and consumption and offer a visual antidote. Painstakingly made, infinitely dense in layered pigment, his paintings have a stillness and subtlety that requires a lacuna of viewing time; a pause in which to visually digest.

‘Perfection, of a Kind, Was What He Was After’, oil and plaster on canvas, 85 x 70 cm.

Last few days to catch Lily Hargreaves’ exhibition ‘Buck Up’ which closes on Wednesday 1 April 🍃we loved what Lily wrote about this painting:

The title of this is taken from Auden’s 1939 ‘Epitaph on a Tyrant’, which neatly summarises the terror felt at the dawn of World War II. Although the poem clearly alludes to Hitler’s rise, Auden doesn’t directly name his tyrant, the description applicable to all sorts of dictators through history. I’m particularly fascinated by the Svengali-esque characterisation of the tyrant, easily manipulating the masses’ emotions to fit his desired vision. A lot of the stories I research revolve around ideas of groupthink and psychological control, with these authoritarians appearing on small and large scales to prey upon human vulnerability. It’s never not interesting to me to see how individuals are able to disguise their own motivations behind these charismatic, reassuring, populist facades.’

Johnny Izatt Lowry is currently featuring in “In the Company of Still Life,” a still-life exhibition at ArtYard in Frenchtown, New Jersey. The exhibition will be on view through May 31st.

This exhibition explores the complex and enduring relationship between humans and objects through still-life paintings, prints, drawings, collage, sculpture, ceramics, photography, and found objects. Capturing the ordinary and extraordinary, in turns eternal and ephemeral, still lifes tell our stories by proxy, becoming vessels for presence and time. Work from the 1800’s to the present day by 40 artists from 10 countries is displayed in a series of distinct rooms inspired by homes, studios, and architectural spaces encountered and imagined by the curators.

Johnny’s piece is installed above a sculpture by Mayumi Sara. In the wider room shot you see Allie Webb’s linocut print on the left.

Many thanks to and
