In ‘Camera Upside Down (2)’ the camera itself is inverted while taking the picture. The candle lights the scene allowing the image to register on the large format analogue film, exploring our perception and the truth of the image. In ‘Condom Bedroom’ a coloured condom is stretched over the lens of the camera while it penetrates the space of the room, the condom acting as a ‘filter’, protecting and allowing access simultaneously while subverting the masculinity of the camera’s gaze. Both @anna_mossman works are available this weekend @photolondon Olympia with @closeltd .

‘Things Like That’ Film screening daily at at Olympia during Photo London 13-17 May Commissioned by Belfast Exposed the film responds to their archive, reflecting on its structure, instability and the ways in which historical material is preserved, accessed and interpreted. Focusing on gestures, archival images and fragmented histories shaped by conflict and community, the film is built around three characters; an imagined archivist, a magician and the archive itself. Written, directed and performed by Trish Morrissey ©2026, presented by Close Gallery @closeltd @bx_gallery @photolondonfair @olympialondon #archive #performance #Belfast #artistfilms #trishmorrissey #photolondon

Tonight at Corner 7, @rosedaveyartist opens TONI DAVEY 1969, a deeply personal journey through more than five decades of work by her mother, @tonidaveyartist . Tracing an artistic language that has remained quietly resolute and beautifully uncompromising from the late 1960s to the present day, the exhibition brings together works that speak across time, memory, and childhood. Curated with tenderness and insight by Rose Davey, the show offers an intimate encounter with Toni Davey’s enduring practice. Seen here, @freenyianni takes a tour of the exhibition. Private View Friday 8 May, 6–8pm Exhibition continues 9 May – 13 June Opening hours Monday–Thursday by appointment Friday–Saturday, 12–6pm Closed Sundays #ToniDavey #Corner7 #ContemporaryArt #Painting #WomenArtists

Bringing together key works from across his practice, the exhibition explores Cheung’s distinctive approach at the intersection of art history, global economics and technology. Influenced by Chinese philosophy and European painting, his work reflects a cross-cultural perspective shaped by his London upbringing and Hong Kong heritage. Many works are built on Financial Times stock listings, embedding global finance into their foundations. Across these surfaces, Cheung creates landscapes that echo classical traditions while revealing themselves as products of digital processes and experimental materials. These hybrid works collapse past and present, illusion and data, forming speculative landscapes where culture, capital and identity converge. Many Worlds, One Mind offers a lens on the invisible systems shaping contemporary life and the worlds we imagine. Please join us for the Private View from 3-5pm on Saturday 6 June 2026 at CLOSE Gallery, Hatch Beauchamp, Somerset TA3 6AE. We look forward to seeing you #GordonCheung #ManyWorldsOneMind #ContemporaryArt #CloseGallery #ArtExhibition

In conjunction with the exhibition, TAILINGS, McCausland will host an invited guest workshop at CLOSE Gallery exploring the fundamentals of pigment from industrial residues.

Please RSVP to [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you. #Tailings #CloseGallery #PigmentMaking#SustainableArt #WasteToPaint

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the opening of Onya McCausland’s solo exhibition last weekend. It was a pleasure to share this extraordinary body of work with friends and supporters, and a special thank you to Onya. McCausland’s practice explores landscape, materiality, and the histories embedded within the earth. Working with pigments derived from post-industrial mining sites, she transforms what is often considered waste into a rich language of colour and place. Her works reveal the tension between beauty and damage, drawing attention to the material itself and the stories it holds. Her paintings, sculpture, and works on paper are grounded in ecological research and a deep engagement with process, offering a subtle yet powerful reflection on human impact and environmental change. The exhibition runs until 30 May Open Thurs & Fri 11–4, Sat 11–3 📍 CLOSE Gallery, Hatch Beauchamp, Somerset For an opportunity to acquire these rare and beautiful works view the link in bio, or contact Richard Scarry

Well done @artpornblog Ted Rogers for PERFORMING Valentine @tate MODERN on the eve of April 24th as part of @traceyeminstudio exhibition ‘A Second Life’ Dame Tracey Emin CBE RA curated the event lineup which will include current and past TKE performance fellows Pink Suits, Ziah Ziah and myself, as well as a workshop with Studio Lenca. This was followed by DJ Fat Tony playing in one of the large Tate Tanks.

Happy Earth Day. Looking forward to opening Tailings | Onya McCausland’s Exhibition this Saturday 25th April @closeltd 3-5pm. Many artists speak of landscape; @onyamccausland Onya works with it. Her pigments are not symbolic they are literal. The ground becomes the work. There is no separation between subject and medium, and in that collapse, something quietly radical happens. The paintings hold a physical truth, a kind of gravity. They resist spectacle, yet they are deeply moving because they are anchored in something real. To invest in Onya McCausland is to recognise a practice that holds both beauty and responsibility in equal measure. There is a sublime quality to her work the surfaces, the tonal depth, the stillness but beneath that lies a profound engagement with sustainability and community. She is not extracting from the landscape; she is in dialogue with it. Her projects often extend beyond the studio, working directly with sites and people, bringing attention to places that might otherwise be overlooked. This is work with purpose. It leaves a trace, not just visually, but socially and environmentally.

Earthly matters. Last week, The Wick paid a visit to Onya McCausland’s studio ahead of her forthcoming solo exhibition ‘Tailings’ with CLOSE Gallery in Somerset, opening 25 April. McCausland’s paintings draw their colour from post-industrial landscapes, transforming the residues of mining and remediation into surfaces that are subtle but arresting. Muted ochres, rust reds and smoky umbers settle across the canvas with visible restraint, inviting a slower, more intimate kind of looking. But what makes the work so compelling is the tension it sustains. At first glance, these paintings appear meditative and almost timeless. Another look however and another story begins to emerge: one of extraction, environmental aftermath and the material memory held within the land itself. Here, beauty is never uncomplicated. On view at CLOSE Gallery, Somerset, from 25 April - 30 May. #OnyaMcCausland #CLOSELtd #ArtExhibitions #TheWick #ArtGallery
