As the year comes to a close, we’re feeling grateful - and ready 🤍

We launched in 2017 at the amazing .art Fair as an online only gallery after going pop ups, artist led projects and street art for a while with our original art project .
A physical gallery was never the master plan; it grew organically while delivering our other project , a mural project rooted in our local community.

Closing the space this year hasn’t felt like loss. It’s felt more like coming home - back to street and public art, artist-led projects, and work that lives beyond the white gallery walls.

It feels fitting to mark this moment with Flourishing by showing at ‘s Serene right now (one of the first artists we worked and still a favourite of mine) a work about growth, transition, and strength through change.

As we head into the new year, we’re opening a new chapter - lighter, more focused, and excited for what’s ahead.

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us in our journey so far❤️

Wishing you a peaceful festive season and a creative year to come ✨

As you move into the lower ground of Serene, the atmosphere shifts.

Arranged around a quiet central courtyard, this level is designed for flexibility - guest rooms, cinema room, yoga studio, office - a more introspective part of the home where the light softens and acoustics deepen.

Here, two works shape the mood:

Rocky Reflects on the Damage Done (2024)

small in scale but loaded with character, Bray’s work is a wry, cinematic, slightly surreal painting on a found wood panel. A moment of humour, tension and contemplation. It feels perfectly at home in this transitional corridor: intimate, slightly surreal, and quietly cinematic.

IO (2021)

A large, synesthetic burst of colour and movement. Painted through sound and sensation, the work IO brings visceral energy into the calm and injects emotion, rhythm and clout into the stillness.

Where Bray whispers, Jake surges.

Together, these works transform the hallway into something more than a passageway: a corridor between light and shadow, stillness and intensity, reflection and release.

In bedrooms 2 and 4 at Serene, we’ve installed a selection of works from Tessera series, small, intimate paintings that sit quietly within the calm architecture of the home.

Each Tessera measures 25 × 25 cm, acrylic on board and framed by Henry himself.

The title comes from the Latin for a small tile in a mosaic, a fragment that holds its own meaning, yet becomes richer when placed in sequence. The works carry that spirit: single, intentional brushstrokes held within tactile, hand-made surfaces.

In Serene’s softly lit bedrooms, with limewashed walls and timber details, these pieces become moments of pause.

Quiet anchors.

Small gestures with presence.

There are 30 works in the series, and they can be collected individually or curated as pairs, triptychs or grids, forming your own mosaic of movement and space.

Inside Serene’s triple-aspect kitchen, terracotta cabinetry, timber details and polished concrete washed in soft daylight, three photographs from s Walking the Westway (A40) series are installed in quiet dialogue with the space.

Against this warm, grounded palette, Meredith’s works introduce urban stillness, nocturnal light, and the hidden rhythm of London’s infrastructure.

A tension that feels alive, serene architecture meeting the raw poetry of the city.

→ Westfield / White City

A cinematic glimpse of a London, Industrial yards lit like a stage set beneath the A40. A city held in a breath before dawn.

→Westbourne Park

Here, the Westway floats above bus depots and rail lines, a glowing ribbon through the dark.

Sitting beneath the Westbourne Park image, you look straight into the garden through a wall of glass, deep blue city light in conversation with the gentle, breathing green beyond.

A room held between two worlds… just like Andrew’s photographs.

In Serene’s kitchen, as the light changes through the day, the works respond, softening, sharpening, revealing new tonalities. Where the kitchen offers warmth and openness, Meredith’s photographs ground the space with atmosphere and narrative depth, serene architecture meeting the pulse of the city just beyond it.

Westfield / White City

A hush over White City.

Cranes resting.

A cinematic glimpse of a London, Industrial yards lit like a stage set beneath the A40.
A city held in a breath before dawn.

Westbourne Park

At Westbourne Park, the Westway floats above bus depots and rail lines, a glowing ribbon through the dark.

Here, the city’s rhythm slows just enough to be witnessed.

Bus depots, rail routes and deep blues of the night form a rhythmic composition.

Sitting beneath the Westbourne Park image, you look straight into the garden through a wall of glass, deep blue city light in conversation with the gentle, breathing green beyond.

A room held between two worlds… just like Andrew’s photographs.

In Serene’s kitchen, as the light changes through the day, the works respond, softening, sharpening, revealing new tonalities.

Shot on a Medium Format Mamiya film camera at dawn during the locakdown, the images become quiet anchor points: windows into a London only a stone’s throw from Serene, yet rarely witnessed.

Where the kitchen offers warmth and openness, Meredith’s photographs ground the space with atmosphere and narrative depth, serene architecture meeting the pulse of the city just beyond it.

A London most never see.

A London revealed only when the streets fall silent.

From the moment you step through the full-height charred timber door and into Serene, your eye moves toward the curved concrete staircase — a sculptural anchor setting the tone for the home’s calm, architectural rhythm.

To the left of this space lies the reception room, where two of works on paper hang side by side:

Bathed in limewash tones and framed by polished concrete and terracotta, the pair bring an immediate surge of colour and emotion to the home. Their gestural intensity contrasts beautifully with Serene’s quiet material palette transforming the reception room into a vivid emotional entry point to The Art of Living.

“The Here and Thereafter” (2023)

A continuation of Jake’s synesthetic narrative, this work captures the after, the moment of clarity and internal shift that follows the emotional tension of early love (Does His Love Make Your Head Spin). Deep crimsons, cooling blues and flashes of gold collide in sweeping, rhythmic gestures, while a pale, figure-like form emerges between the strokes, suspended between what was and what becomes.

Installed as part of The Art of Living, the piece brings dynamic energy to Serene’s quiet architecture, enriching the room with colour, movement and feeling.

As we prepare for next Thursday’s event, we’re spotlighting the expressive, synesthetic works on paper by , hanging in Serene’s reception room and bringing its calm architecture to life.

Jake, a synesthetic musician and painter, experiences sound as colour, rhythm and movement. His works become visual recordings of emotional states, perfectly complementing Serene’s palette of limewash, timber, concrete and terracotta.

Swipe → to see the works in situ.

“Does His Love Make Your Head Spin?” (2023)

Created for IN BLOOM, this piece marks a pivotal moment where Jake began consciously channelling deeper emotion into his practice. Painted in response to Keaton Henson’s You Don’t Know How Lucky You Are, it mirrors the song’s arc: tender, rising, then revealing.

Sweeps of magenta, violet and crimson meet lilac and rose, while a shock of turquoise cuts through like a breath in the storm. Strong burgundies add weight; translucent gestures reveal vulnerability.

A rare glimpse into the artist’s emotional landscape at the start of a new relationship.

As we prepare for next Thursday’s event, we’re spotlighting the expressive, synesthetic works on paper by , hanging inside Serene’s reception room, bringing its calmness to life.

Jake, a synesthetic musician and painter, experiences sound as colour, movement, and emotion. His paintings become recordings of internal states, visual translations of rhythm, atmosphere, and feeling.
These works sit beautifully within Serene’s tactile palette of limewash, timber, polished concrete, and terracotta. Their chromatic energy animates the home, shifting its atmosphere.

“Does His Love Make Your Head Spin?” (2023)

Created for the exhibition IN BLOOM, this piece marks a pivotal moment in Jake’s practice - the first time he consciously channelled a deeper emotional state into his work. Painted in response to Keaton Henson’s You Don’t Know How Lucky You Are, the work mirrors the emotional swell of the music: tender at first, then rising into tension, doubt, and revelation.

Visually, sweeping movements of magenta, violet, and crimson dominate, contrasted by luminous passages of lilac and rose. A sudden strike of turquoise cuts through the centre like a breath inside a storm. Bold strokes in burgundy and near-black add gravity; translucent layers introduce vulnerability.

The painting becomes a rare window into the inner landscape of the artist at the start of a new relationship — full of longing, hesitation, and emotional truth.
