Also showing in February

Friday 6th: Wesley Jacobs

Wesley’s work has a peculiar ability to evoke feelings of both comfort and anxiety in relation to the security of the home. It has a strong emphasis on detail and personal investment in the creation process. This is the first time Wesley has exhibited in London.

Friday 20th: Jayne Jones

Through a combination of metallic paint, gravity and a clean crisp canvas, Jayne creates works that are both industrial and sensual, impersonal but alluring: techno-erotic abstracts. Working in Hull as a member of the Kingston group, Jayne has become increasingly more established in the North of England over the past few years – Sesame is her first London gallery exhibition.

Friday 27th: Hayes Hopkinson

Graphics, graffiti, paint and drawing – Hayes pulls together various disciplines and media. His powerfully expressive drawings are composed of many layers which become gradually noticeable, shifting the viewer’s perspective and offering plenty to discover. Hayes’ work stands out for its visual force.
