Light-hearted themes, unexpected artist groupings, and early Friday closings await gallery hoppers who brave the scorched Chelsea sidewalks. Sandwiched between spring’s hectic art fair season and heavy-hitter solo shows of the fall, July and August bring a time of fallow for the gallery calendars and walls. After the drastic halt COVID-19 has imposed on the art world, this…Read More

Stephen Thorpe’s Eerie Interiors Capture Isolation in Colourful Form The British artist’s paintings of rooms and their corners are far from straightforward.

Words by Emily Gosling The Forgotten Language of Instinct, 2020 “When you first look at one of my paintings, it seems to make sense.
