Intimations

Intimations opens at Phoenix Gallery on Saturday 14 November, bringing together eight artists working in painting, sculpture and photography. It's a group show that runs right through the winter, staying open until Saturday 6 February, so there's plenty of time to get to it whenever it suits you.

The title comes from the word 'intimation' — a hint, a subtle sign or an inkling understood without anything being clearly stated. That's the starting point for the whole thing: a way of working, thinking and making where affinities grow across visual, material or thematic differences. The eight artists included are Aimée Parrott, Charlie Godet Thomas, Cherelle Sappleton, Feiyi Wen, Huma Mulji, Laura Lancaster, Masakatsu Kondo and Rae Birch Carter. Their practices move between figuration and abstraction, between the idea and the image, so you'll find painting, sculpture and photography sitting alongside each other rather than in separate corners.

Writer and academic Lizzie Lloyd co-curated the exhibition with Phoenix Gallery curator Matt Burrows. It's also accompanied by a publication, which launches at a special event in the Workshop on 30 January 2027, so if you're into the writing side of things as well as the art, that's a second date to keep in mind.

Entry is free, and the gallery is open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 5.30pm, from 14 November through to 6 February.
