‘Deep down, so bright’, Josephine Baker’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, opens Saturday 24 January from 5 – 8pm - as part of 2026
Combining drawings and small sculptures with a large central relief work, in Deep down, so bright, Josephine Baker furthers her interest in the overlap between the emotional and the infrastructural. The title is both a saccharine expression of positivity, and a reference to “ancient sunshine”, a poetic scientific phrase used to describe coal, oil, and natural gas. Using readily-available building materials such as asphalt roofing, copper cabling, and plaster, Baker explores the way extraction industries are embedded in our cities and built environments, and the way that both feelings and fossil fuels invisibly shape and determine our world.
Find us on the soon to be announced art trail for 2026 - amongst many other exciting exhibitions and events.
Well Projects is open Friday – Saturday, 12pm – 5pm thereafter.
