Running from 26 September until 17 October, the solo exhibition by Kana Tsumura, a young Japanese artist of exceptional talent. Born in 1998 in Hiroshima, Tsumura is rapidly making her mark in the contemporary art world. Kana’s Images, which like their Latin root ‘Imago’ are phantoms, dreams, memories, reflections, hallucinations, share unrepeatable moments through a meticulous and evocative description of intimate experiences. Magical and mysterious close-ups of banquets intertwine with hands in motion, reaching to grasp delicious fruits, while fallen flowers are scattered on the table like precious fragments of life, forever encapsulated in a quantic time.

To launch Art Month, the panel investigates the value of art in a contemporary society, considering how Connaught Village is a space for artists and gallerists. Chaired by Time Out’s Art & Culture Editor, Eddy Frankel, the panel will be attended by artists, collectors and gallerists, including Sukai Eccelston (Founder of Connaught Village’s CasildART Contemporary), Nancy Durrant (Broadcaster and Culture Writer), Helen Parker (Founder of Everyone Agency) and Tony Heywood (Horticultural installation artist) and George Mingozzi-March (Co-Director of Brooke Benington and Found an Director of Amici). The event will be hosted at Kendal Street Kitchen on 1 October from 9:15am-10:45am. Tickets are free but can be booked in advance here.

C. Atherley will be exhibiting a selection of botanical photographs by Carrie Lees. Drawn to the beauty and fragility of the botanical world, Carrie aims to produce simple but structural images to portray the living essence of the plants themselves. She has been inspired by the work of the old masters of botanical photography in particular Anna Atkins, Karl Blossfeldt and Leendert Blok. Her technique is a combination of using traditional methods with a more contemporary take. Carrie’s images have captured of some of Cath’s geraniums and will be on display in store and available to purchase from 1 October.

On 2 October, Lyon and Turnbull are hosting a valuation day by appointment for Contemporary, Modern & Post-War Art Design & Craft and Studio Ceramics. The team will be available for complimentary, no obligation valuations and auction advice.

Explore Dean Fox’s work at Matt Carey-Williams. Dean Fox’s paintings offer up a gloriously hallucinogenic exploration into not just the metric and matrix of Impressionism but, more importantly, the praxis and lexis of painting itself.

Launching in October in collaboration with The 1897 Gallery, Freedom in Multitudes will feature artists whose practices address themes of fluidity and freedom conceptually, or through composition and materialism. The works in the exhibition will speak to the complexities of existing within a Black body whilst spanning myriad identities. The artists celebrate the multitudes we contain and call for more complex, free-flowing depictions of Black bodies and cultures.

Launching on 24 October, Love in 2030 is a showcase from emerging talent from Thailand, Nateepol. This exhibition is the second chapter following his critically acclaimed and sold-out exhibition held in Bangkok in 2022. Nateepol is a multidisciplinary artist renowned for his colourful and romantic acrylic paintings. This new exhibition explores themes of self-love, identity and the future of human connections.

This new AI-generated film, based on the ‘Painting Photographs’ series, continues the exploration of paint’s materiality. By using AI, the film reimagines the original work, transforming the captured fluidity and movement of paint into a dynamic, evolving digital format. It extends the dialogue between painting and photography into the realm of machine learning, offering a fresh perspective on how traditional art forms are interpreted and transformed in the digital age. Bridging genres from Turner to Richter, the work embodies the sensuousness of paint and the intangibility of photography.

Launching in collaboration with artist and illustration agency EVERYONE, the Something for Everyone pop-up is the first of its kind for both the agency and Connaught Village.
