Sunnyside unfolds as a series of stolen psychological vignettes, a window into the artist’s thoughts and an invitation to explore our own. The works share a fantastical yet cohesive visual language that Budge has forged and perfected over time. To quote Janet Frame who so inspired Budge’s practice. “Writing a novel is not merely going on a shopping expedition across the border to an unreal land: it is hours and years spent in the factories, the streets, the cathedrals of the imagination. ”

A site of experimentation in both subject matter and material, Serena Korda continues her ongoing series of plates as part of The Golem Rises, with a series being displayed ‘north of the wall’

These works relate directly to the plates made in collaboration with the artist’s daughter Yuffie for her current exhibition ‘Triple Goddess’ at the The Harley Foundation (See final slide)

💡Today 💡

Join us to celebrate the opening of Serena Korda’s exhibition ‘The Golem Rises’ on the South London day of London Gallery Weekend

Serena and Clemmie will be in conversation at 12pm & 3pm, coffee & English sparkling wine will be served all afternoon.

Across the gallery two domestically scaled ceramic lamps ‘speak’ to each other across the room. Referencing and paying homage to numerous cultures, the lamps take the form of two strong primal mother figures while the bulbs flash intermittently, spelling ‘MOTHER’ in morse code. A tongue in cheek play with the idea of mother tongue it acknowledges the crucial maternal role in forming language and identity. There is an urgency to the communication – do they signal to remind us of their presence or are they in fact signalling a warning.

Join us this Saturday 6 June for the opening reception of Serena Korda ‘The Golem Rises’ on the South London day of London Gallery Weekend

Serena and Clemmie will be in conversation at 12pm & 3pm, coffee & English sparkling wine will be served all afternoon

At the heart of the exhibition is an allegorical ceramic frieze that reimagines the Golem’s creation, a story Korda has used to converse with her six-year-old daughter about mixed identity, inherited histories, and survival…

wild women are transformed into embodiments of a powerful, untamed creative force, celebrated for their instinct to protect themselves through the act of building a golem. Yet, as the myth reminds us, the golem ultimately turns on the community that summoned it, complicating the fragile boundary between protection and threat, a vehicle for both personal and collective reflection.

In the lead up to our online exhibition ‘Sunnyside’ we asked Kirsty Budge a few questions at her studio, you can read the full ‘studio visit’ feature in the link in our bio and learn about her fascinating painting practice 🌞

Studio photography by Simoen van der Meent

‘Emerging from an intuitive process shaped by dream analysis, memory and observation, her practice examines the thresholds between psychological and material space, a land where melancholy and carnivalesque absurdity coexist.’

Our Johnny Izatt-Lowry exhibition ‘Something else, somewhere else, in somebody else’s house’ closes this Thursday 🌻thank you Johnny for another exquisite body of work

Commuter time, the lights up, lights down, hour of day - a city stirring beneath the surface. Mundane lives and rituals glimpsed behind curtains. Familiar objects made unfamiliar through glass. The curious aspect of one’s own life when viewed glancingly from the outside. In Something else, somewhere else, in somebody else’s house Johnny Izatt-Lowry’s third solo exhibition at Cooke Latham the artist interrogates the act of looking, probing the porous division between private and public space.

Today we are super excited to launch our online exhibition of paintings by Australia based, NZ born artist Kirsty Budge

Titled ‘Sunnyside’ the exhibition is made up of nine framed paintings, each measuring 28 x 23 cm

While staying in a small apartment in an old mansion in Crown Heights, Brooklyn Kirsty Budge was drawn to the word ‘Sunnyside’ engraved on an external wall. It struck a cord with her as ‘Sunnyside’ is coincidentally the name of a former mental asylum in Christchurch, NZ that notoriously housed the painter Rita Angus and writer Janet Frame, both of whom have influenced Budge since her childhood. Finally, she found herself making this new body of work while reading about Albert Camus during his time in New York – it mentioned that one of his favourite things to do was to read the latest copy of Sunnyside, an undertaker’s journal.

Johnny Izatt-Lowry ‘Something else, somewhere else, in somebody else’s house’ continues until the 21 May, thank you so much everyone who has popped by already!

Formally the works are dense with historical reference. The muted tones and flattened planes of the early Renaissance, of a Giotto fresco or a Cimabue altarpiece, can be traced in the curious palette and eerie stillness of Izatt-Lowry’s compositions. Likewise the tongue in cheek energy of Georges Braque’s cubist still lives can be mapped in his playful grouping of objects. This obsession with the foreword and postscript to an era of perspectival accomplishment establishes the quiet stage upon which Izatt-Lowry works. The paintings ask questions as to what was lost with the gain of mathematically rendered space.
