Who can resist Ricky🦮? @itsjakefreeman Jacob Freeman’s subjects all exist within the same universe, his own. This approach gives way to a comprehensive collection of subjects, from cell to city, and his use of colour covers the spectrum from white, through neon, to black.

Jacob Freeman @itsjakefreeman paints a fantasy, with a focus on worldbuilding instead of people. His colours are bright, almost neon. There is a joyful energy that comes through the tree frog or the dog as their mouths hang open in awe or excitement. Freeman’s subjects all exist within the same universe, his own universe. He builds a world, showing us microscopic life, a small frog, a big dog and the night sky itself. All the elements are there for us to fully be immersed.  Image: Frogstack, 2025 Oil on board, 23 x 31 cm Where All The Wild Things Are 11 October - 22 November 2025 PV: Oct 10th 6 - 8 pm Katja Farin Jacob Freeman Michael Gao Mia Wilkinson Mandy Zhang Art | 16 Seymour Place, London, W1H 7NG For any enquiries contact [email protected]

Mandy Zhang Art invites you to Where All The Wild things Are is a group exhibition showing work by four London graduates: Katja Farin @katjafarin , Jacob Freeman @itsjakefreeman , Michael Gao @michael_cy_gao and Mia Wilkinson @mia__wilkinson The show explores our space through strangeness and a sense of transgression as each artist lets us into their own world, or rather lets their world out. The gallery is a civil smokescreen for the unruly. Where All The Wild Things Are is a gathering of visions, a slipping of the mask, and an exploration of how four very different artists see the world. Join us at the PV Oct 10th 6 - 8 pm!

Roha Gallery is pleased to present 𝑩𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝑩𝒓𝒐𝒌𝒆𝒏 𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒅𝒐𝒎 opening on Thursday 11th September. 𝑩𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝑩𝒓𝒐𝒌𝒆𝒏 𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒅𝒐𝒎 reimagines the medieval bestiary as an exhibitionary device through which to reflect on contemporary fractures. Not merely a descriptive treatise on animals, the bestiary once functioned as an allegorical encyclopedia where myth, morality, and ornament coalesced to legitimize power. The fox embodied concealment and deception, the hare both timidity and violence, while hybrid beings such as griffins and basilisks reminded humanity of thresholds and devastations beyond human knowledge. This exhibition recalls that such symbolic systems are not relics but living scripts, asking how myths and codes of power continue to be redeployed within today’s cultural and institutional landscapes. Three artists respond to this framework through distinct practices. 𝓙𝓪𝓬𝓸𝓫 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓮𝓶𝓪𝓷’s paintings are grounded in world-building, interweaving personal narrative, fantasy, and popular culture into fragmented kingdoms. 𝓐𝓷𝓪 𝓘𝓸𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓬𝓾’s sculptures reveal materiality and corporeality in a liminal and elemental state, staging the coexistence of fragility and strength. 𝓐𝓻𝓽𝓸 𝓥𝓪𝓷𝓱𝓪𝓼𝓼𝓮𝓵𝓽 works with monsters, embracing intuition and play to reorganize symbols across drawing, painting, and object-making. 𝑩𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝑩𝒓𝒐𝒌𝒆𝒏 𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒅𝒐𝒎 opens a site where diverse languages and symbols intersect, ultimately posing the question: through this new bestiary, what language might we use to rewrite coexistence and survival amid the ruins of the contemporary?

‘New Dog’ (2025) by Jacob Freeman. Oil on canvas, 50 x 40 cm. Please get in touch with us at [email protected] to inquire about this work in our current exhibition 𝓟𝓔𝓓𝓘𝓖𝓡𝓔𝓔. Jacob Freeman interrogates cultural memory through image-making. Freeman’s painting practice is rooted in the joyful, chaotic remixing of pop culture, horror, and myth, where dogs surface as loyal companions and surreal avatars. Jacob Freeman (b.1994) is a Canadian artist living and working in London, UK. Jacob graduated with a BFA from the University of Western Ontario, CAN, 2016 and recently completed his MFA at The Slade School of Fine Art, UK, 2025. Freeman’s practice is rooted in world building in which fantasy, personal narratives and popular culture intertwine. His work is equally concerned with a material investigation of paint and the joy of making. His practice is fueled by his personal collection of found images sourced from magazine archives, movie stills and fan-page boards. Concerned with the mediation between source image and painting, his works delve into sites of transformation within the natural world and an exploration between the relationship of fantasy and reality within the horror genre. — 𝓟𝓔𝓓𝓘𝓖𝓡𝓔𝓔 7 August - 21 September Open Thursday - Saturday, 12:00 - 17:00 The Bottle Factory, 12 Ossory Road, London, SE1 5AN
