Intersections Exhibition

The Intersections exhibition is opening at Kellie Miller Arts on 3 Church Street, Brighton, running from 27 June 2026 until 17 August 2026. The show features the work of two artists, Kate Wickham and Craig Underhill, who were brought together by curator Kellie Miller. The exhibition explores the concept of a "convergences of paths and stories," reflecting on the forces that connect us, including the intersections of landscape, humanity, and memory. It is a particularly interesting pairing because the two artists share a history as former tutor and student, and this exhibition serves as a space to reflect on that shared background.

Kate Wickham is a Sussex-based artist who originally trained as a ceramicist before moving into painting. Her work is heavily influenced by the landscapes of Cornwall and France, and she approaches her canvases with a gestural style that abstracts aerial and topographical views. She describes her paintings as multidimensional, often focusing on the spaces between land and architecture. For this specific exhibition, the curator invited her to push her practice further by working on a larger scale than she typically does, which gives her work a different presence in the gallery space.

Alongside her, the gallery is showing the work of Scottish ceramicist Craig Underhill. He is well-known for his slab-built vessels, which have gained a significant international following online. Like Wickham, his work is deeply rooted in the landscapes of Cornwall, where he spends time walking. He uses natural materials like sand and specific mark-making techniques to finish his pieces, which he views more as "three-dimensional paintings" than traditional ceramics. Similar to Wickham, Underhill is exhibiting his work at the largest scale he has produced to date, making this a significant departure from his usual output.

The exhibition is open to the general public, including collectors and anyone interested in contemporary ceramics or abstract painting. Since it is hosted at Kellie Miller Arts at 3 Church Street, it is easily accessible in the city centre. There is no entry fee for the exhibition, and the show runs daily throughout the summer period until 17 August 2026.
