BEACHBALL by Matt Macken
SATURDAY 8th JULY 2-5 pm
Saturday launches are always fun. There will be beer and Matt Macken will be with us to talk to you about his work. There will also be beachballs…
Born in 1986, Matt Macken is a British abstract-figurative painter exploring the human condition in all its forms. While his work previously focused primarily on printing techniques, he now focuses on painting and drawing.
Matt’s works from his own internal personal narrative, his work is explorative and provocative. He attaches importance to various symbols and objects and features them repeatedly as significant running motifs throughout a series. Matt Macken is a master storyteller. BEACHBALL is an exciting, vibrant and desirable collection of paintings.
Matt Macken is an artist whose works have been exhibited in the UK, Europe, and featured in various group shows with notable galleries such as Black White Gallery, Delphian Gallery, Saatchi Gallery, and Arusha Gallery. His pieces have found their way into the collections of art enthusiasts worldwide, including the Soho House permanent collection.
Macken’s work is in a constant state of flux, exploring a deep reflection on his personal life, relationships, and experiences. He often draws inspiration from photographs or memories, creating images that resonate with his own unique perspective which emerge out of a creative process that is intuitive and free flowing. – Jarvis Brookfield

JUST NOW
launches
SATURDAY 1ST APRIL
2pm - 4 pm
Richard Whadcock is one of the UK’s leading atmospheric landscape painters. He studied Fine Art at Bristol Art College from 86-89 followed by a Masters Degree in Printmaking at the Royal College of Art from 89-91 working in intaglio and and in lithography. Printmaking’s structure has found its way into his approach to painting from the preparation of a painted surface, hand wiping etching plates to hand wiping paintings. His paring down of everything that is insignificant to the bare essentials is synonymous with his work. Whadcocks influences range from Cy Twombly, Robert Motherwell, Milton Avery to Vermeer, Turner and Rembrandt, and these influences, and the handling of chiaroscuro and the gestural nature of his mark making combine to make deeply powerful and evocative paintings.
It is the amorphic nature of the landscape that Whadcock is looking to capture, the sense of a landscape coming into being with a suffusion of early light or the transient passing of dusk. A bleached out intensity of light on a horizon. A floating gaze, a hazy view. Familiar details can be expunged by a coastal mist, smudged away by a downpour or blanched by intense low morning or evening sun. It is these transitions from one state to another that the paintings are dealing with, brief periods of time past. The evocation of a place, perhaps in one’s memories of somewhere you have been to or imagined. Recalling a feeling and a sense of place in a singular moment in time. Just Now.
Whadcock shows widely in the UK and USA

From a wonderful essay by Dr Ian Massey
‘The themes of language, time, presence and absence are encapsulated in an ongoing series of works that Lock has made on the inside covers and title pages taken from discarded books. Amongst these found volumes are some dated from the nineteenth century, bearing inscriptions and dedications, carefully written in copperplate script by those now long departed. Others have lines of type, set in metal galleys and printed as headings or subheadings. The substrates often show signs of age, in mottled foxing, scuffmarks and minor tears, themselves eloquent of human usage and the passage of time. The artist’s additions, in graphite, oil pastel, ink or paint, join forces with these existing marks and texts, in a form of joint authorship that links past with present. Lock might add very little; a scattering of gnomic signs perhaps, akin to some kind of automatic writing. Alternatively he might put down blocks of colour or densely scrawled lines that cover all or most of the surface, entombing what lies beneath. There are occasional punctuations and anchor points made from fragments of paper collage or splodges of pigment, the likes of which are also often found in the artist’s canvases. These drawings, much smaller than the paintings, allow for a shift of gear, in which marks are made from the wrist as opposed to a sweep of the arm. And they commune, not only with the past but also with the larger work as it continues to develop in the studio.’
Gallery at Home is excited to present
BILLY BAGILHOLE and his FEVER DREAMS opening Friday 23rd September until 14th October
Online galleryathome.co.uk/store
An exceptional artist with an unmistakable signature style, his paintings never disapoint. The works often provoke and encourage conversations around a complex narrative. Billy has an internal dialogue, his dreams and fantasies played out in paint. His artworks are desirable and playful, darkly profound and deliciously engaging. Bold and brave and packing a mighty punch, Billy sold out last show so be quick if you fall in love.
…Bagilhole predominantly works through the mediums of painting and filmmaking. Often covering canvases with salt and thick paint, he enjoys the technicality within painting, within colour and within the eye of the lens. Bagilhole frequently works through internal gestures and hints of nostalgic representations on abstracted life. Often colliding colour with imagery of sinisterness. He feels that painting becomes an expressionistic form of understanding and that by leaving the work as an open question, an unknown metaphor, meaning within painting or filmmaking, within art becomes infinite…

Dear Friends, Artists and Collectors,
This is Kate’s second solo show here at my gallery, and as a regular visitor to our artist meet ups its been amazing to watch this fabulous artist explore deeper themes in a richer more layered palette, with a new softness, strength and sophistication. Complex and intelligent. Works that ask us to pause, to breathe and reflect.
‘Sometimes I Fall And Never Hit The Ground’
KATE SHOOTER
In this new body of work the abstract morphs into half formed still life compositions that are at once familiar and unknowable. There is a surreal, symbolic quality to these paintings that viewed as a whole invite a puzzle-like unravelling. Kate tells us...
“I’ve been writing down dreams over the past few months and whilst musing on their wider meanings have been struck by a similarity in how I unpick stories in my paintings. All the work begins with my habit of automatic drawing and then during the formal wrestle with colour and composition familiar motifs emerge. Whilst no linear narrative is intended there is often an otherworldly sense of space and object at play that subverts the familiar. A little like a word repeated over and over that begins to lose its meaning.”
In a number of pieces where the emergent motifs are strongly defined, (Jungian symbols of ‘house’ and ‘ladder’ echo throughout this collection) there is a clear sense of metaphor at play. Paintings that teeter on the brink of knowable are enigmatic, in the way more opaque dreams are; and then some of Kate’s works seem to operate simply as pauses - places to gather your thoughts. She says...
“I feel in the last few months like I’ve had all my hard edges worn smooth and it shows in the work. With my guard down this collection is acutely introspective, softer than usual, but intensely purposeful.”
Hope to see you on Saturday May 21st at 2 - 5pm, there will be Prosecco and beer.
