Event Summary

9 contemporary artists showcase their unique visions in this upcoming group show in Chalk Farm, North London.

Event Description

Acts of Magic brings nine contemporary artists together in Chalk Farm, London, UK this October.

"Creating art alchemises line, colour and memory into meaning, transmuting doubt and the mundane into luminous images, forms and revelations that alter both maker and viewer."

Exhibiting artists:

Joe Barrow
Billy Byrne
Lara Gallagher
Galina Hristova
Marcus Kirsch
Bradley Lafford
Prince Oke
Paul Kingsley Squire
Michelle Watson

Bringing together nine contemporary fine artists, the exhibition explores transformation, memory, colour and meaning through painting, drawing and visual storytelling. Across a diverse range of practices, the artists investigate how ordinary experiences, inner doubt and emotional complexity can be transformed into images and forms that invite wonder.

Acts of Magic takes its title from the exhibition's central idea: that the artist acts as a modern alchemist, transmuting the everyday into something luminous and unexpected. Line, colour and memory become materials for creating new meanings, offering audiences a space for reflection, discovery and imaginative escape.

Art and its observation is an act of alchemy: We look for artists who can take the raw materials of being human - memory, desire, doubt, intimacy, absurdity, loss, beauty and the everyday, and transform them into something that makes us see differently.

*All works for sale - secure card readers will be at the gallery.
