Luminous exhibition is now on at the Hare & Hound N1 for a 3-month residency. The exhibition brings together a dynamic collection of contemporary works by ArtCan artists, exploring light not only as a visual phenomenon, but as a conceptual and emotional force. Across painting, photography, and mixed media, the exhibition will reflect on how light shapes perception, atmosphere, and memory - particularly within the heightened sensory experience of summer.

If you’re local stop in for a pint and painting ☀️
