We are pleased to announce the 23rd edition of Artist of the Day, a valuable platform for artists since 1983. This two week exhibition showcases the work of ten artists, chosen not by the gallery, but by established professional practitioners who have each nominated a talent of their choice.

Our third Artist of the Day is Luke Skiffington selected by Paul Winstanley, who will exhibit a one-day solo show on Wednesday 22nd June, 11am - 7pm.

“It can take a long time to become a painter with a personal iconography and language. It’s harder than it sounds. I first knew Luke in the 1990s as a student at Goldsmiths when I was also there teaching. Since then his work has moved away from its recognisably photographic references toward something with a lightness of touch, greater economy and a quality of abstraction that refuses easy definition.” Winstanley

“Centred on ongoing series; Mr Bauhaus and Wall of windows, this exhibition presents two groups of work in a dialogue between representation and the painted surface. Mr Bauhaus originates from a 1923 Bauhaus poster depicting a singular, perhaps clichéd image in a number of new contexts. I see these paintings as surrogate heads, interacting with the viewer while threatening to inhabit the ambiguous, abstract space of the Wall of windows series.” Skiffington
