The Value of Heirloom Art for Growing Families

In this group of artists, intimacy, memory and abstraction intersect in different ways, however all share a level of sensitivity to the fleeting: the neglected image, the half-remembered location, the unstable boundary in between what we see and what we feel. Together, they form a peaceful but insistent meditation on how suggesting collects in ordinary life.

Taken together, rendered in her unique painterly design, these retellings of easily-forgotten minutes show how a common life, when analyzed from a particular perspective, begins to radiate a palpable sense of significance.Rosemary Burn Bowl of cherries, 2025 Mona Sultan's photocollages describe the fragmentary nature of memory and meaning, calling photographic fact into question by breaking down, recontextualising and duplicating images. Stabilizing organized precision with a noticeably human, always imperfect visual sensibility, his paintings are lighthearted abstractions for the digital age.Luke Rudolf Fizzog 4, 2025 Jo Berry's airbrushed paintings provide physical forms to images that we usually see via a screen andquickly forget, such as stock photographs and ReCAPTCHAs. To me, her distinct language hazy, distorted, subtly disturbing shows the alienation and dissociation inherent in a world saturated with imagery that appears to appear and disappear ever-more quickly. A shadow, a handstand, a sheer drape draped over a houseplant: by photographing such things, he provides a second life in which they become permanent. Emile Kees Handstand, 2023 Jo Hummel's minimalist abstractions have a specific ahistorical quality; they connect several histories of product experimentation and production from around the world within a distinct visual language. They locate the audience within landscapes that feel endless with a low mist hanging over the horizon. Unfamiliar, these images are deeply tranquil, welcoming you to revel in the easy pleasures of a perpetually twilit, pastoral world.Llus-Carles Peric Cap a La Calma, 2014 The scenes that Bianca MacCall paints a train window reflecting the carriage's interior over the passing landscape; a barely-visible automobile concealed by an ochre-yellow curtain seem deliberately mystical. They make me think about the simultaneous absurdity and charm of the world in front of me, thinking about familiar scenes through an unfamiliar lens. Bianca MacCall Continuous Motion, 2023 Henry Ward's painting practice is ever-shifting. In fact, if you stand in front of among his paintings for enough time, you might see it change in genuine time. The unsettled, unpredictable nature of his work is what makes me keep returning to it.Henry Ward Bethany III, 2023.
