Nigel Rolfe: Still Even (detail), giclée print on 300gsm acid free Fabriano watercolour paper, 2026 | black-and-white image of a persons left hand grasping the spiky stem of a large-leaved plant; looks painful; the forearm and hand are coming in from the left edge of the photo, with the head itself almost dead centre; we see some grassy ground and trees / shrubbery behind • “An exhibition of new work and live performances. The viewer is confronted with sound and walls of strong colour and black and white imagery mostly of plants seen or held at close range.  The German photographer Karl Blossfeldt comes to mind but you can't help feeling the human story, the environmental cost, the unnecessary waste of life, the irony of the beauty. ' e ' originated in 17th Century Holland and translates as still life.  More events to be announced.”

The exhibition will run in the lower and upper galleries from Saturday, 14th February, to Friday 20th March, 2026. In Gvozdene Kapije / The Iron Gates, Knežević brings together film and sculpture to interpret the histories, stories, and materiality of a region in eastern Serbia known as Gvozdene Kapije (The Iron Gates): the deep gorge at Đerdap on the Danube River, bordering Serbia and Romania. At the centre of the exhibition is a 48-minute single-channel film that focuses on a group of 10,000-year-old sculptures uncovered at Lepenski Vir during preparatory works for the Iron Gates Dam, a major hydroelectric project completed in 1972 by the governments of the former Yugoslavia and Romania. The film traces this layered history through material and oral accounts of the region, channeled through five non-human narrators; material, infrastructural, animal, and geological actors who shape and inhabit the environment of the Iron Gates gorge. Composed of original and archival footage, personal testimonies, interviews, staged imaginings and choreography, the film gathers pace and moves between fact and speculative fiction. Through montage, it retraces stories of displacement, migration, making, sculpture, and th

The exhibition weaves together myth, folk magic, and ritual to explore how we navigate uncertainty, entrapment, and transformation. As our constructed and natural world unravels to near collapse, we rely on storytelling as a tool for connection, a tool for protection. The labyrinth is a mirror, a code, a key, a tensabarrier, a narrative and a fabrication, a reflection of ourselves and our worlds. The exhibition is marked by durational performances with dance art…”

Hymn to Him is a guilty pleasure, a sustained glance at the relationship between the unstable and convoluted lives of artists and the composed stillness of the characters they create. In her painting and photographic work, she lingers on the surfaces of things – bellies, primroses, house keys, vegetables. Costello inserts herself into her compositions and as her own model she remains in control of both sides of the canvas. Her paintings are less representative of their classical…"

Image: Sasha Sykes, Reassurance, 2025, Hydrangeas, ferns, resin, acrylic, 75cmD, Image courtesy of the artist | the materials mentioned in the image description are arrayed tastefully (?) inside a frameless tondo • "A sculptural exploration of familial care and the natural world’s quiet resilience. Filial Love is an intimate exhibition that brings together sculpture, video and wall-mounted works to explore nature through the lens of familial bonds. The exhibition is anchored by a freestanding central installation: a full-length, human-scaled, floral resin cloak, positioned in dialogue with a granite boulder. These elements form a meditation on protection, labour and enduring care - personal, generational and ecological. Using nature as her canvas, Sykes embeds organic materials in resin to create works that are both ethereal and grounded, blending meticulous craftsmanship with emotional resonance. Her practice, widely celebrated for its innovative technique and poetic sensibility, is represented in international museums and private collections and has been described by critics as “a harmonious blend of the organic and the sublime.” Filial Love draws deeply from the artist’s relationship with both her 85-year-old mother, Jessica, and her celebrated garden in Carlow. Throughout Sasha’s childhood, Jessica’s life’s work was constant tending - always with a bucket or pot in hand; a quiet, ongoing labour of care that continues even as roles subtly shift over time. The works in this show incorporate foraged plants, dried and embedded over two years. Inspired by the tradition of cloaks handed down from mother to daughter at the time of marriage, the central installation functions as a surround: protective, enveloping and reassuring. Composed entirely of plant material from Jessica’s garden, it reflects time invested, craftsmanship and nurturing attention. The series of wall roundels and the Filial Love video piece extend the narrative, but the installation remai

Diana Copperwhite, Cyphers, oil on canvas, 122 x 107 cm, 2025 | although it is possibly a totally abstract work, it is hard not to summon up an impression of a madonna and child at the centre of the coloured swirls and stripes; behind these putative figures, there seems to be a space, like a store or library • “'When she was a child, Diana Copperwhite’s father, a science teacher, showed her how a prism worked. This breaking down of white into pure colour - the refracted light revealing each individual shade of the rainbow - stayed with the artist. Looking at her work, this offers a major hint at her painterly motivations. Copperwhite’s work is frequently preoccupied with light, and interested in what’s beyond the visible spectrum. In a new show The Only Thing is the Everything, the artist cites an interest in the building blocks of Fibonacci sequence, recognising that “while there’s structure and order in the universe, there is also chaos”.
