Yoona Hur presents a new body of work that interprets the historic texts, symbols, and sensorial experiences of Korean Buddhist temples. “Having taken inspiration from moon jars and Dansaekwha paintings before, it was natural for me to orient myself towards Buddhism,” says Hur. “These elements all embody emptiness and a philosophy of clearing one’s mind to cultivate oneness.”

Liam Stevens presents new work, including five paintings and two limited edition prints. “Painting is a continuous investigation,” Stevens says. “How to paint and what can be achieved is in itself a layering of time, thought and procedure, which runs mutually with the culmination of pigment and repeat washes in producing a work.”

Sculptor Nadia Yaron carves weighty, organic forms from wood, stone and metal in her home studio in Hudson, New York. Her pieces are hewn with chainsaws and grinders, a necessarily violent practice that contrasts with the tranquil sculptures. “Using a chainsaw is such a cathartic thing,” says Yaron. “There is a push and pull to it, and out of the chaos comes some quiet.” In her studio, a 19th century barn in the grounds of her home, her pieces are heaved up with a chain lift rigged from the rafters, and stacked on top of one another in teetering totemic structures “My work is purposefully imperfect, which reminds me of the fragility of nature,” she says.

Nancy Jiseon Kwon has created a playlist to accompany her solo show, Clear with Rising Mist, at Francis Gallery Bath.

In this small series of works, Ekun Richard explores the theme of lost connections between people, and with nature and the animal world, and the range of emotions people feel when dealing with loss. He works instinctively, in a way that often leads to his paintings taking on the essence of what is going on his day to day life.

Francis Gallery is opening a second location in Los Angeles this October, in an expansion of its original gallery in Bath, UK.

Many of the paintings in a newly released collection by John Zabawa were made in MacArthur Park during the sessions for his Gateways show at Francis Gallery, in the spring and summer of 2021.

Rosemarie Auberson’s paintings sometimes, but not necessarily, arise from the observation of images, photographs or film stills brought to a form of abstraction. These references are not the main subjects, but rather starting points that facilitate the development of the paintings. "I try to evoke the feeling that something is in progress,” says Auberson. “The materials used are not precious (wood panels, cardboard) and the paintings are reworked many times before their final version. What interests me is the movement between something finished and unfinished — like an image seen furtively and then appropriated by the memory. It's an attempt to capture impermanence."
