  Toma & Ik Stenko Essence 29 April - 11 May 2024 Private View: Wednesday 1 May, 6 - 8 pm Katrine Levin Galleries at Marie Jose Gallery 16 Victoria Grove | South Kensington | W8 5RW   RSVP Following Toma Stenko's inaugural solo in 2020 and a critically acclaimed joint presentation as part of the Venice Biennale 2022, the mother and son duo returns to London for their first joint UK exhibition. For Toma Stenko, colour denotes the essence of everything - of love, of being. It is the prism through which she perceives the world, searching for the best in everyone and everything.  Hands are a recurring theme in Toma Stenko's practice, the drawn outlines of previous works dissolving in fields of colour, then reintroduced as a superimposed collage elements. The mother's influence on her son is unmistakable. Both share a unique creative energy expressed in vibrant colours. As the former's paintings become more abstract, the latter introduces line drawings of flowers to his.

  Annie Trevorah ANANAS 26 April - 10 June 2024 Private View: Thursday 25 April, 6-8.30pm Fulham Palace House & Garden | Bishop's Avenue | London SW6 6EA   RSVP To commemorate the 50th anniversary of opening its house and gardens to the public, Fulham Palace unveils ANANAS, a monumental upside-down pineapple by London artist Annie Trevorah. The visually striking sculpture is inspired by the historic pinery-vinery at Fulham Palace, a rare example of a pineapple and grape greenhouse built by Bishop Howley during his residency at the palace in the early 19th century. Trevorah’s particular area of interest is human-plant interconnectivity and intra-dependence. The main sculpture's lattice design blends in with the blooms and architecture of the walled gardens while reflecting the episcopal coat of arms. Four totems celebrating the shared characteristics of vegetables and humans complement the display as they rise above the formal planting of the knot garden section. The pineapp

  Annamarie Dzendrowskyj Shadows of Perception 28 March - 21 April 2024 Private View: Thursday 28 March, 6 - 8 pm The Muse Gallery | 269 Portobello Road | London W11 1LR   RSVP Annamarie Dzendrowskyj examines the silent allure of obscurity both formally and metaphorically. Her paintings constitute an intangible suggestion of time and space, hinting at a fleeting moment caught between presence and absence. With  Shadows of Perception  Dzendrowskyj responds to Junichiro Tanizaki's contemplations on aesthetics. In his 1933 essay 'In Praise of Shadows', the Japanese novelist suggests that too much light can pollute and obscure our view of the natural world. Inspired by the Australian landscape that provided the backdrop during the artist's studies and drawing upon imagery from the Blue Mountains captured shortly after much of the area was destroyed by bushfires, the works in this exhibition are painted shadows of dissolved and reassembled traces of memory. Shadows of Percep

  It gives me great pleasure to tell you about my next exhibition, especially as I was asked to co-curate the sculpture with Andrew Revell. We had a great time putting it together and I am sure you will enjoy it, there is something for everyone!  It is a very eclectic mix of work which looks great together, with some beautiful relationships between the sculpture and printmaking too.
