Introducing Charly Helyar , one of the featured artists in our upcoming exhibition "Finders Keepers" at EDE Projects | Art Gallery by Adela Blanco Adela Blanco

Her work moves between the intimate and the monumental, from miniature oil paintings on copper to large-scale installations such as General Situation (2025), alongside live performance works including Cleanse (2024).

Helyar takes a meticulous, hands-on approach to making, often preparing her own gesso and paints. Her layered compositions bring together vivid colour, figures, objects, and fragments of everyday life, engaging with themes including ageing, sexuality, and conflict.

In her Matrices series, discarded furniture is dismantled and reconstructed into jewel-like constructions containing tiny oil paintings on copper and linen, works small enough to rest in the palm of a hand.

The series brings together painting, sculpture, and domestic objects, transforming overlooked materials into intimate, highly crafted works.

This week, we take a closer look at the practice of .

Eleni Maragaki’s practice focuses on bridging the dichotomy between urban construction and the natural environment, understanding architecture as being in constant dialogue with the landscape. In response to densely manufactured urban spaces, she draws inspiration from the delicacy found in natural systems.

In her work, the deconstruction of the landscape through abstract geometric forms reflects the tensions between the city and its surrounding natural world, where human-made and artificial components alter and deform the natural environment.

Compartmentalisation, seriality, close observation, and categorisation are integral to her methodology. The visualisation of theoretical research is considered as important as the practical aspect of her art.

Audience engagement is a key element, explored through interactive artworks that invite a space to examine the dynamics between the human element, geometry, and nature.

Irredeemably Foreign

2025

Irredeemably Foreign is a series of old postcards from Venezuela, each carefully intervened with fragments of text from The Disoriented by Amin Maalouf. The works transform landscapes embedded in collective memory into images and text that evoke a sense of displacement and emotional resonance.

The series explores what it means to be foreign and how history, belonging and violence leave their marks not as abstraction but as something felt in the body of a place and in the distance between who we were and where we come from.

Daniel Rey is a Venezuelan artist based in London working across performance, installation and assemblage. His practice interrogates masculinity, ritual and belonging through the lens of q***r migrant experience, constructing immersive and speculative worlds that challenge dominant social structures.

This week we’re introducing the work of .

Cleo Stoutzker is a British artist based in London whose work moves between photography and painting. Drawing on personal photographic imagery, she repositions familiar figures within abstracted landscapes, creating spaces that feel both recognisable and slightly displaced.

Her paintings explore ideas of memory, identity and place, reflecting on the shifting boundaries between past and present, here and elsewhere, self and other. Through a careful balance of form and negative space, Stoutzker’s works suggest landscapes shaped as much by perception and experience as by geography.

Process sits at the centre of her practice, with each painting unfolding as a quiet enquiry into how we observe, interpret and construct meaning through images.

This week we’re introducing the work of

Mark Jeffreys works within conceptual abstraction, exploring ways of describing landscape beyond representation. His practice is shaped by a set of ongoing questions: how might a landscape in flux be visualised? What constitutes an imagined or abstract space? And how might internal landscapes emerge through fields of colour?

Working primarily on paper, Jeffreys builds surfaces using pigment and painting medium, sometimes incorporating oil, wax and drawing materials. Paper’s ability to fold and deform allows the work to move between painting and sculpture, with colour fields treated as a kind of shifting terrain.

Jeffreys grew up on the edge of the Cotswolds and later in Norfolk, now the driest part of the UK. He currently lives in the Netherlands, much of which sits below sea level. Both landscapes face the risk of rising tides and coastal flooding — a sense of environmental uncertainty that sits quietly behind the work.
