Open today: Multistorey by Rebecca Elves

The seventh exhibition in The Maternity Series is Multistorey, a solo exhibition by British artist Rebecca Elves, where stories spill out of ceramic vessels and into strange, unfolding painted worlds. Moving between oil painting and ceramics, Elves transforms Liminal’s intimate space into an impossible interior where narrative refuses to stay contained. With strange forms, dark humour and a faded sense of longing, Multistorey captures the moment something simmering beneath the surface finally breaks free.

‘Multistorey’ continues until Sunday 11 October 2026 and is open Thursday.- Sunday 11am-4pm, or outside of those times by appointment.

Opening Thursday: Multistorey by Rebecca Elves

Multistorey is a solo exhibition by British artist Rebecca Elves presented as part of Liminal Gallery’s Maternity Series. Using painting as a direct extension of her work in ceramics, Multistorey explores the moment stories overspill their containers.

The exhibition presents three large narrative oil paintings on suspended canvas panels, alongside more intimate paintings on panel and the lidded ceramic vessels that spawned them. In this way, Multistorey transforms the gallery into the impossible space within the vessel: a space where narrative cannot be contained.

These paintings emerged from the artist’s frustration at being unable to capture the immediacy of working in clay or wall painting on a transportable surface. She began painting directly from a series of small, lidded ceramic vessels onto long panels of unstretched canvas and found that the stories she had always sensed simmering inside the clay began to spill out through the paint. This process transformed a sense of compressed urgency into strange unfolding worlds.

Rebecca Elves’ paintings and ceramics contain a shared gestural language: intuitive forms gather, heavy with touch, arranging themselves around gaps and crevices before pooling in dense pockets of brush strokes. There is a sense of dark wit as these forms coalesce into beings – the glimpse of an eye, the fold of a cheek – before dissolving again. The faded colour palette of these paintings saturates them with a sense of longing, of a once-exuberant tea party that is perennially winding down.

As these forms trip across mediums and through Liminal’s intimate gallery space, Elves’ squirming stories break containment.

‘Multistorey’ opens on Thursday 1 October and continues until Sunday 11 October 2026. The exhibition will be open Thursday.- Sunday 11am-4pm, or outside of those times by appointment.

All are welcome to join the artist for the Private View on Saturday 3 October 5-8pm.

Opening Friday: 'Leisure' curated by AOAP Projects

AOAP Projects presents Leisure, a solo exhibition of paintings by Theo Gorst at Liminal Gallery, Margate, from 15 August to 12 September 2026. The exhibition forms part of Liminal Gallery’s Maternity Series and opens with a private view on Friday 14 August.

Theo is an exciting new talent, having recently graduated with an MA in fine art from Norwich University. His figurative paintings of people in tracksuits, often with their limbs entwined, have a youthful, fresh, painterly feel. AOAP Projects first exhibited his work at their annual fundraiser with War Child UK, the Sound & Vision auction, where it attracted more bids than any other artist’s.

This is a chance to buy Theo’s work before he is inevitably picked up by a gallery, and his prices go out of reach. AOAP Projects has a strong track record of featuring promising students in its shows. They featured Antonia Showering, Shqúelle Whyte and Okiki Knife, all while they were still at art school.

Theo Gorst said: “The paintings in Leisure sit somewhere between rest and unease. I’m interested in the point at which an ordinary scene stops feeling ordinary.”

All are welcome to join the artist for the opening on Friday 14 August 6-8pm with drinks.

The exhibition continues until 12 September and will be open Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays 10.30am-5pm, or outside of those times by appointment.

Opening Saturday 12-4pm: ‘In Her Steps, The Card Game’ Mercedes

Margate artist Mercedes Lucy transforms handmade ceramic tiles into a playable celebration of extraordinary women and q***r icons. The exhibition debuts two card game decks - The Feminist Card Game and The Q***r Card Game - with every card recreated as a unique ceramic tile, forming an interactive installation where portraiture meets participation. Each figure is scored across categories inspired by their life, achievements and impact, designed to spark conversation and debate rather than provide definitive answers.

The Q***r Card Game launches to coincide with Pride Month. Ten percent of proceeds from every card game sold will be shared between Oasis Domestic Abuse Service and trans-led, nationwide charity Not a Phase, supporting vital work within the local community and beyond.

Individual ceramic tiles will be available to purchase, alongside complete card game decks - allowing conversations begun in the gallery to continue at kitchen tables, in classrooms and among friends.

All are welcome to join the artist for the opening on Saturday 11 July 12-4pm with drinks.

The exhibition continues until 27 July and will be open Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays 10am-4pm, or outside of those times by appointment.
