What better remedy for boredom than escapism? A journey elsewhere created through
memory, fantasy, and longing. Neither Here Nor There brings together works that bring us
places beyond geography, where landscapes are made up of atmosphere, memory, and
imagination.
Landscapes fragment into abstraction in Seohyun Oh’s paintings, where the natural pigments mingle with inky surfaces. In Anna Pakosz’s work, linen canvas tells the story of alchemical materials and outdoor exposure, which leave behind smoky and disorienting environments.
Colours is used to resist everyday familiarity. John Bartlett's magenta palette turns serenity into spectacle. Phil Goss layers dense blocks of vibrant pattern and texture, creating dreamy, theatrical scenes.
“Elsewhere” is an insulated place where adventure and possibilities go unchallenged. Jan
Urant's characters live in playful, innocent surroundings that invite us into their half-told
narratives. Sabine Pigalle approaches “Elsewhere” through history, transforming medieval
manuscripts in fields of colour.
Our minds carry flattering versions of other places shaped by longing and memory, however distant they are from reality. They are destinations for a mind that moves when the body won't.
