Memory, Instinct, and the Beauty of Chance
Rani Rai’s paintings feel less like depictions of places and more like moments suspended in time. Built through layers of colour, texture, erasure, and instinct, her work explores memory, atmosphere, and the quiet shifts that happen just before change.
Painting Against the Speed of the Present
Ross Easterby’s work feels suspended between centuries. Drawing from the rebellious spirit of turn-of-the-20th-century masters while resisting nostalgia, his paintings explore beauty, confidence, and human presence in an age of distraction.
Leaps, Wobbles, and Painted Birds
What would happen if a painted bird hopped off the canvas and started talking? For artist Carolyn Bonthrone, the answer reveals far more than a punchline. From cyclists flying downhill to figures frozen in joyful suspension, Bonthrone shares why the leap matters more than the landing, how humour became her quiet superpower, and why her characters often live out the bravery she’s still working towards.
