Morag Caister explores the intimacy of personal space. Her quiet, perceptive portraits capture the subtle boundaries between self and environment. The delicate, pared-back painting style challenges and blurs these borders, highlighting how people make up the space they exist within. Caister’s fast and light strokes parallel the relaxed nature of her sitters in these restful settings, but their uncertain nature reflects how it is the human experience that shapes the space. Winner of Sky Portrait Artist of the Year, Caister’s works are held in private and public collections, such as the National Portrait Gallery and Soho House.

Rising talent Peter Doyle turns his attention to shared and communal space, depicting moments of connection and social exchange with expressive colour and shape. Through depictions of fiddle players, half-drank pint glasses, and those he experiences communal situations with, Doyle links the space where community happens, to those who create it. His work is shaped by the self-taught nature of his practice, translated into the bright colours and fast-paced mark making his work is known for. Following a sell-out solo exhibition earlier this year, Doyle continues to expand his exploration of communal spaces and relationships within them.

Nick Smith presents new works centred on iconic pools, breaking down their reflections, edges, and colour into individual colour chips. Each deconstruction is paired with text under each chip, creating a narrative written by the artist, describing the pool from a third person perspective. This process gives voice to the landscape, immediately recognisable but considered a silent landmark. This frames these iconic settings as part of a conversation with those who visit, swim, and stare at these landscapes, and also those who have made them.

Following her sell-out exhibition earlier this year, Camilla Perkins creates floral and decorative space through a bold palette and fluid, multilayered compositions. Her works shine with energy and texture, celebrating nature’s beauty and how we interact with it. They often feature female figures sitting and standing together – reflecting the connection between the garden and flowers and the female experience. It is people, and often women, who have cultivated and shaped these spaces to look and grow as they do. Perkins creates works that are unashamedly joyful, a feeling created by her artistically intricate patterns and overlapping floral motifs, each perfectly placed in her compositions.

Alongside our curated booth hang, we will also have a selection of works from our leading emerging artists on view
