suzyvanezis Suzanne Vanezis
Tallulah Hutson is a London-based painter whose work engages with the body and human gesture to capture moments of intimacy within the everyday. Trained in figure drawing and portraiture in Florence, Hutson employs the sight-size method to elevate ordinary scenes into reverent depictions of emotion and presence. Her oil paintings explore the tension between vulnerability and power, particularly through figures moved by music. This painting is the latest piece in an ongoing series exploring escapism, entrapment and the responses to our current political and environmental climates, which the artist both experiences and observes in others. Sensations of hedonism, hope, defiance and despair are conveyed through expressions and gestures drawn from rave and music settings. The palette references club lighting alongside heat-mapping, climate crisis, passion, fire and violence. The title links to bodily gesture while also reflecting the narratives and moments chosen to lean into, carrying implications of both engagement and decline.
Susu Jing
Suzanne Vanezis is a British painter whose work explores interior space as a metaphor for psychological experience and the architecture of the mind. Drawing on the aesthetics of the backrooms, Vanezis paints distorted luxury interiors that appear both alluring and unsettling. Through these dreamlike environments, Vanezis examines the tension between fantasy and entrapment, revealing the home as both psychological stage and containment. Placid Waking engages with the idea of Xeno-architecture, ‘alien’ forms of space that disrupt perception and embodiment or imagine structures freed from gravity and material constraint. The paintings reflect this estrangement, depicting homes that feel more like memories or simulations than lived spaces. This dislocation aligns with Xeno-architecture’s intent to unsettle domestic norms, creating environments that should comfort but instead feel subtly artificial and uncanny.
tabithanutt Tabitha Nutt
Susu Jing is a London-based artist whose practice explores themes of life, death, rebirth and sheng sheng bu xi, drawing on Eastern philosophy within a contemporary art language. Her work transforms life into immersive images and installations, reflecting both spiritual inquiry and dialogue with wider cultural and philosophical contexts. The Origin of Frequency portrays a droplet of water descending through seven chakras in a passage from death to rebirth. Structured around the body’s energy centres, it translates life into ascending strata of frequency and vitality. Rendered in a minimalist palette of blues and undulating forms, it reflects both the liquidity of water and the flux of energy.
Tabitha Nutt’s practice merges psychological research with illustration to explore the overlooked beauty of the everyday. Working with gouache, marker and pencil on discarded packing paper, Nutt documents mundane subjects and constructs layered installations that reveal microscopic details beneath the surface. Her work celebrates the unglamorous, drawing parallels between daily experience and unseen natural processes. This series emerges from an impulsive desire to collect and document moments, no matter how mundane. The works invite observation of the everyday, revealing complexities and meaning beneath simplicity.
