💭 Digital systems dominate our lives with a logic that thrives on precision and quantification. The artists here propose the analogue not as a refuge from the digital, but as a mirror to its limitations. Ambiguity, embodied making, and sustained attention may be our most valuable forms of knowledge.

Analogue is a group show featuring artists on Hypha Curates. All exhibited works will be for sale on the platform, with 70% going to the artist and 30% supporting the charitable work of

Enquiries: [email protected]

💬 About Wayfarer: The painting happened very naturally, almost as a distraction from other larger works that were developing at the same time. I wanted to treat the figure in the same way that I handled the "background" - sort of merging them, not making too much distinction. The subject matter is to do with walking, something that has been central to my practice, but that is also very apparent in the paintings I made in the first half of 2025.

💬 About 55 Miles: This painting came about during a period in which I walked the South Downs over 11 days. I've been enjoying putting these large billboards into my recent works - abstract paintings within paintings that evoke maps or landscapes, but are lacking in definite information. I'm sort of musing on disorientation, or an inability to grasp a conventional sense of direction, perhaps.

💭About the artist: Freddie Darke (b. 1984, London) is a figurative painter based in London. He works primarily in oils and inks, exploring human journeys and the entangled nature of history. His practice has been shaped by residencies across Europe. His video work Autumn Leaf was exhibited at The London Group Open. In 2023, he was selected for the ING Discerning Eye. His 2024 solo show was Rumours of Treasure at Copeland Gallery. He has led creative workshops for asylum seekers.

Enquiries: [email protected]

💬 About the work: This work is made in response to the sky at sunrise seen through early morning condensation on a window.

She studied BA Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art and recently graduated from the Royal College of Art with an MA in Ceramics & Glass, where she was a recipient of the Frank Bowling Scholarship.

💬 Alex Mills is a critically acclaimed Welsh composer and artist working across genres and mediums. His work has been described as “music of supernatural poignancy, melodic but otherworldly, narratively urgent and poetically impressionistic” (The Guardian).

‘Look How Brightly’ is a bold interdisciplinary exhibition inspired by the new album by acclaimed London-based composer and artist Alex Mills, showcasing his output from the last decade.

💬 About the work: In making a crystal from the vision inducing material of glass I hope to create a carrier of cosmic feelings. Crystal magic for divination and healing is rooted in pre-Christian folk-beliefs or Pagan practices. Crystal gazing or crystallomancy is a method to achieve visionary experiences and supernatural insight. For Jung the crystal is a symbol of the union of matter and spirit. The German Expressionists Paul Scheerbart and Bruno Taut championed glass or crystalline structures as a utopian ideal. When using the spiritualised material of glass they proposed to create an earthly paradise which would open up the New Age.

💭About the artist: Lex Shute lives and works in rural Somerset. She read Sociology at the University of Greenwich prior to gaining a Masters degree from the Royal College of Art in 2019. Solo exhibitions have been Of Truth of Clouds, South Hill Park Arts Centre, Berkshire (2013) and Future Proof, Opus Gallery, Newcastle (2011). Group exhibitions include A Goodly Company, ASC Handbag Factory, and Trace Elements, The Factory Project. She has been shortlisted for the Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize, the Rising Stars Prize, won third place in the Woolgather Art Prize and awarded a place on the Travers Smith CSR Programme.

Katherine Lubar ()

Ziggurat (Green) (2016)
Acrylic on linen
56 x 35 x 2 cm
£1,500 inc VAT
(Or 12 x £125 payments a year)

Ziggurat ii (2016)
Acrylic on linen
100 x 60.3 x 2.5 cm
£2,300 inc VAT
(Or 12 x £192 payments a year)

💬 About the work: Ziggurats were a type of building in ancient Mesopotamia, which were on a raised ground, with receding levels of steps leading up to a flat roof. Many contemporary ziggurat buildings exist, and this painting takes as its source material one based in California.

Key West (2014)
Acrylic on linen
35.5 x 24.4 x 2 cm
£500 inc VAT
(Or 12 x £42 payments a year)

💬 About the work: The source material for this painting was taken from a poolside view at a hotel in Key West I stayed at years ago. The shadows of the large umbrellas above created repeated patterns on the decking. The colours I used remind me very much of the visual experience and feeling of this part of Florida - warmth and coolness at the same time, bright colours, playfulness and optimism.

Bannister (2017)
Acrylic on linen
90 x 45 x 2.5 cm
£2,300 inc VAT
(Or 12 x £192 payments a year)

💬 About the work: This painting was based on a very intricate shadow cast by a wrought iron staircase I saw in a Hitchcock film. As I worked on it, the individual shapes started to take on lives of their own, and I started seeing them as different characters, each in their own story.

Late Afternoon (2015)
Acrylic on linen
51.3 x 45.8 x 3 cm
£1,800 inc VAT
(Or 12 x £150 payments a year)

💬 About the work: A late afternoon shadow creeps across a courtyard and onto the adjoining wall and building behind it. I tried to capture this transient moment, when light moves so quickly, creating elongated shapes along its path.

Last Chance to A mouthful of teeth (2024) and more works for sale at

Hypha Gallery 1 / No.1 Poultry, London, EC2R 8EN
Open: 12 December - 17 January 2025, Thursday - Sunday 12pm - 6pm

💬 About the work: This work was made for my solo show MONSTER TRUCK MUSEUM, where I delve into the surreal world of my dreams, merging images of teeth, slugs, monster trucks, aviation disasters, marbles and swords. These fragments form a visceral self-portrait shaped by an anxious subconscious. Through dense cut-pile textiles, the images emerge sharply from woollen surfaces, while cut-outs hint at deeper layers of the mind. The show creates a playful, immersive environment that invites viewers into my dreamscape and encourages them to recall their own.

💬 About the artist: Haydn Albrow (b. 1993) is a London-based multidisciplinary artist. She studied at London Metropolitan (2016) and completed an MFA in Sculpture at The Slade in 2021. Her work has appeared in group exhibitions across London, Manchester and LA. She won the 2024 Bankley Studios open call, leading to a solo show in Manchester, and held her second solo show in Glasgow this summer. In 2023, she co-founded ha.lf with Flora Bradwell to make contemporary art more accessible beyond traditional gallery spaces. She has also curated exhibitions at Staffordshire Street Gallery, The Crypt Gallery, Safehouse and Facebook’s former office site.

Last Chance to They told me it’s out there (2025) and more works for sale at

Hypha Gallery 1 / No.1 Poultry, London, EC2R 8EN
Open: 12 December - 17 January 2025, Thursday - Sunday 12pm - 6pm

💬 About the work: 'They told me it’s out there' investigates analogue processes through a digital medium. The work presents a constellation of ethereal plastic bags, drifting in a perpetual loop - their shifting forms hovering between flesh, ash and commodity. Speculating on the afterlives of “hyper-objects”: materials that exceed human timescales, the work resists the slick precision of
the digital. The simulation is intentionally 2D, staggered, glitching - a poor, fragile echo of reality. In this way the work becomes both digital and analogue: resisting digital logic, embracing nuance, uncertainty and material presence.

💬 About the artist: India Stanbra (b. 1997) is an artist working across installation, moving image and sculpture. Her practice explores entangled ecologies and the presence of technology in the everyday, questioning how our relationship with the artificial might evolve and adapt in a posthuman context. India completed her BFA at Chelsea College of Art, London, in 2019. She has exhibited in London and Hong Kong, including Systems We Have at New Art Projects (2022), Stack at York Street (2022) and Regal Oriental Hotel at AVA (2019). Curatorial
projects include The Floor is Lava (2025), and Testing Grounds at Filet (2022).

💬 About the work: The Forbidden Caterpillar’s fluffy body with thick colourful fur give it the cuddly allure of a teddy bear or an exotic pet, but looks can be deceiving, with bright colours a sign to avoid something that might be toxic or harmful to the touch.
