Artist Spotlight: Exploring the subconscious at SLEEPER 👀 ✨ With SLEEPER now in full swing at The Handbag Factory, we are continuing our artist spotlight series. This week, we dive into the dreamlike and deeply personal worlds of four more artists featured in the exhibition. From “windows to the soul” to landscapes of ritual and memory, these works invite viewers to step into the space between reality and the subconscious: Adam Dix | @adam_dix_ Adam’s work brings together a world of community and ritual, traversing the landscape of analogue and digital media. Through layered oil glazes and nostalgic imagery, he explores the blend of traditional folk customs and contemporary communication. His work can be found in the V&A print archive. Nell Mitchell| @nellmitchell_art A confessional artist based in East London, Nell uses humor and vivid imagery to process life’s complexities. Treating her practice as a “window to the soul,” she creates cathartic, diary-like work that allows the viewer to know her completely through her art alone. Leigh Curtis | @leighcurtis_ Leigh’s paintings navigate the balance between tenderness and absurdity. Featured in this show is Relief on Closing Door, a piece relating to sanctuary and seclusion. “My paintings are based on people and places, real and imagined... showing attempts at freedom and moments of pleasure.” Lucy Spanyol | @lucyspanyol Lucy brings a painterly sensibility to questions of narrative and visual psychology. Her dreamlike works occupy the space betlveen figuration and abstraction, using intuition to create “unstable symbolic spaces” that suggest rather than explain. Visit us this week: The exhibition is open and entry is free. Come experience these seven unique voices before we close on April 13th. 📍 ASC Gallery, The Handbag Factory, SE11 5RB Remaining Hours: 🔸April 7th - 10th & April 13th: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM 🔸Saturday, April 11th: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM #SleeperExhibition #ASC #TheHandbagFactory #LondonArt #ContemporaryPainting
