RHODES is delighted to announce Peacetime, the upcoming solo exhibition of celebrated portrait artist Morag Caister. Peacetime showcases a series of deeply humanising portraits that capture the essence of stillness and acceptance amidst the chaos of contemporary life.

Peacetime reflects Caister’s profound interest in the intricacies of human nature. Each portrait is a testament to her gentle and compassionate gaze, offering a therapeutic space where the dualities of human existence are observed without judgment. Much like a therapy session or confessional, these sittings provide a moment of reflection and understanding, resulting in works that are both emotionally resonant and profoundly human.


Set against domestic backdrops, the portraits in Peacetime reveal subtle motifs that signify the quiet disorder of everyday life – a creased shirt, a crumpled towel, an abundance of cushions. These elements hint at the cyclical habits and inevitable behaviours that characterise our existence, creating a temporary space of peace and acceptance.


Morag Caister's exceptional talent has earned her significant recognition. Her works are part of prestigious collections, including the National Portrait Gallery, London, and Soho House. Caister gained widespread acclaim as the winner of Sky Art’s Portrait Artist of the Year TV series, and she has been honoured with nominations for Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe: Art & Culture and inclusion in the Evening Standard’s Art Power List 2023. Currently, her work is featured in the Herbert Smith Freehills Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery, a testament to her status as a leading figure in contemporary portrait painting.
