Pending: Guest Edit by Cassandra Bowes
Yulia Iosilzon, The Red Flower, 2020
We're delighted to present the first guest edit of our winter fundraiser Pending by Cassandra Bowes, the collector, gallerist and curator behind the Instagram account @the_arts_editor. Cassandra has selected 10 of her favourite artist objects from the 60+ works we have available.
All sales help us fundraise towards the costs of our 2021-22 exhibitions and the education projects with our local Lambeth communities that run alongside them. Profits are split 50/50 between the artists and this fundraising initiative. All purchases will support emerging artists, new projects and community outreach.
Pending continues online and on display in our windows until 31 December.
This work is so beautifully whimsical - Yulia always nails her colour combinations and this work is no exception - it's so fun and delicious looking!
I had to include a second work by Yulia because I'm such a huge fan of her work. Her paintings have such a vibrant yet dreamy quality that comes from her brilliant use of colour and transparent fabric canvases
Sophie's tapestries represent myth and folklore in such a nostalgically beautiful way, weaving through intense colours to re-invent a traditional art form into something totally modern.
“I know Sophie's painting practice very well, and it's so fun to see her painting style come to life in this work! I love the possibilities of arranging and rearranging the elements of the piece.”
“Natalia's work channels elements of Medieval and Early Modern painting in a beautifully contemporary way that seems to capture the magic of the symbolism of European painting. The Pomegranate is one of my favourite symbols in painting.”
“These sculptures are so fun!! I love the colours and textures.”
“This is such an incredibly beautiful and delicate work from Hannah that perfectly captures her heritage and identity.”
“I love how dynamic this little object is, and how it invites us to look closely at the tiny drawing inside, focusing our thoughts and attention.”
“Moore's approach to materiality and exploration of 'wildness' is something I absolutely love.
Cathy is another artist whose painting I know well, but it's so fun to see this translated into a 3D object! I especially love the inscription on the bottom.”
