Viewing Comfort and Joy at Blain

As the year draws to an end, The Wick selects the final shows to wrap up the season in style with. Comfort and Joy is a festive-inspired group show organised by Blain and on view at the gallery’s Mayfair space on 23 Bruton Street by appointment only until January 30th.

The exhibition brings together a diverse artists from the gallery’s roster — from established names such as Dinos Chapman, Robert Ryman and Christopher Wool to emerging and mid-career practitioners — in a collective celebration of hope, warmth and generosity.Inside the gallery, works cross media and sensibilities — riffing on a shared sense of curiosity, connection and warmth, offering a space of peace and festive solidarity.

For visitors and collectors alike, the show becomes an opportunity not just to admire art — but to participate in a season of giving. A portion of proceeds supports Shelter, the UK charity dedicated to fighting homelessness — an alignment of art, community and care that deepens the exhibition’s meaning.
