Conscious Unconscious
Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, London

12 January — 4 February 2023

Landing at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery this month is Conscious Unconscious, a brilliant new show exploring desire in all its many forms, from fantasy and memory to eroticism and sexuality, notably the repression or suggestion thereof. Uniting these psychological compositions, whether highly abstracted or hinging on figuration, is an exploration of organic matter.

You’ll encounter new paintings by Katarina Caserman, Héloïse Chassepot, Saskia Colwell, Li Hei Di, Zoe McGuire and Alexis Soul-Gray. Immerse yourself in the fantastical world of Zoe McGuire before diving headfirst into the sinewy contours of Caserman’s heady compositions. Equally striking are Chassepot’s psychedelic paintings featuring abstracted hearts, a symbol conceptually inseparable with emojis and social media, and used to indicate a ‘like’ but without any emotional commitment.

This bold brilliant show is sure to enliven even the darkest of British winter afternoons. Add to your diary now.
