Hugo Winder-Lind is a contemporary artist who effortlessly weaves profound concepts into his art. His most recent endeavor, a book titled "The Telepathic Field," offers readers an intimate glimpse into the multifaceted artistic ideas that have been brewing within his creative mind. This travel journal-cum-artistic manifesto takes us on a journey through animism, telepathy, time travel, identity, youth, and aging, all encapsulated within the vibrant tapestry of his artistic expressions.

In a recent residency at Troze Gallery, Hugo found himself immersed in the inspiring landscapes of Cornwall – a stark contrast to the urban vibrancy of Brighton. The juxtaposition of the rugged beauty of Penwith against the chalky surroundings of Brighton played a pivotal role in shaping his creative process.

To mark the culmination of his residency, Hugo presents his End of Residency Exhibition. The collection of 21 paintings showcases his journey through Cornwall's terrain, on display until September 2nd. The private viewing is this Friday at 6pm and provides an opportunity to connect with Hugo and gain insights into his artistic process.

Through film and ceramics, ’s Substrata delves into the complexities of consumption, decay, and everyday life. Exploring domestic practices and the inescapable nature of consumption, this thought-provoking work reflects on the portrayal of food in reality TV and the tensions between life and death.

The dramatic canvases of LeLiu , adorned with vibrant acrylics and impasto oils in a myriad of hues, exude lavishness that echoes the fantastical mythologies inspiring their subjects. Drawing inspiration from classical mythology, Liu pays homage to artistic traditions while reimagining these classical themes through a contemporary lens. Departing from strict realism, his daring twist in colour and vibrancy uncovers overlooked elements, deviating from the expected focal points. Notably, his artistic choice to remove the heads of figures in these scenes adds a thought-provoking dimension. Liu's work invites us to reconsider the timeless narratives with a fresh perspective, embracing the interplay between tradition and innovation.

Jamie Mills , a sound and visual artist based in West Cornwall, explores the interplay of gesture, materiality, and environments in his visual practice. Drawing inspiration from both internal and external landscapes, his monochromatic, minimalist work incorporates sourced and repurposed materials from the natural environment and borderlands. The juxtaposition of salvaged remnants of inorganic matter with organic elements creates nuanced relationships, serving as allegories for psychological and emotional states. Through this process, forms are distilled to a liminal threshold, blurring the line between the abstract and the concrete. Exciting upcoming projects include a touring group exhibition starting at West Cork Arts Centre, Ireland, in July, and a solo presentation in Hweg, Penzance, in the Autumn.

Within ’s recent paintings, figuration takes a backseat as he embraces an abstract mindset, incorporating motifs from historical dramas, Holbein paintings, folklore, literature, and mythology. ’s focus lies in fragments of literature, myth, and history, as he pieces together Roman Gods, cowboys, and creatures from Japanese folklore to create unconventional and jarring narratives. His semi-abstract approach merges figuration in a heraldic, patchwork style, allowing me to explore colour relationships and pattern-making in a dynamic way.
