The Silver Cord

Group show at Huxley-Parlour Gallery, London, 2024

Huxley-Parlour are delighted to announce The Silver Cord. A group exhibition presenting the work of seventeen international artists, exploring the role of the fantastical and the power of the imaginary in contemporary painting. Working across several genres, the artists included in the exhibition engage with notions of the idealisation of the natural, alternative visual realms and the potency of the fictional.

As the title of the exhibition suggests, in reference to the metaphysical, the works by each artist seek to transport the viewer beyond the everyday; constucting alternate realms beyond the physical restraints of the present moment they create space for the imagination and offer different models for contemporary existence.

Works by Madeleine Bialke, Sholto Blissett, Damien Ding, Tommy Harrison, Asif Hoque, Rachel Howard, Ridley Howard, Sonia Jia, Kathryn Lynch, Marin Majic, Laura Noguera, James Owens, Nina Silverberg, Neil Raitt, Dittmar Viane, Romane de Watteville and Suyi Xu.
