Winter Exhibition : London

The Winter Exhibition highlights works that engage material intensity, surface, and spatial presence. Across painting and sculpture, the works explore how scale, gesture, and chromatic force shape perception and atmosphere: from Conrad Jon Godly’s monumental alpine compositions, which render mountainous forms through dense, materially driven layers of paint, to Masayoshi Nojo’s layered surfaces, where aluminium and silver foil create shifting optical depth. From abstract repetition to gestural rhythm, the exhibition forms a constellation of sensibilities that honours distinct practices while offering a moment of stillness at the close of the year.

Working within contemporary figuration, Leech explores vulnerability, masculinity, and emotional visibility through expressive, gestural oil painting. Her layered surfaces use the human body as both subject and metaphor, evoking intimacy, psychological tension, and the fleeting nature of identity and memory.

Olaso works through a dynamic two-stage process of impulsive mark-making and reflective analysis, creating expressive, abstracted compositions. His large-scale paintings blend organic and human forms, exploring tensions between colour, shape, and chance, while functioning as visceral self-portraits of his emotional and subconscious states.

Reid creates intricately detailed contemporary landscapes that capture the beauty and isolation of everyday scenes across Britain and California. Working with ultra-fine brushes and acrylics, his meticulous, photo-realistic compositions explore the nuances of urban and rural environments, balancing documentary precision with a contemplative engagement with place.
