Past Exhibitions
Drop Shadows
1st - 14th March 2024
Sims Reed Gallery, 43A Duke Street St James’s, London, SW1Y 6DD.
Opening times:
Monday - Friday 10am - 5pm/ Saturday midday - 5pm
Artists’ talk: Saturday 9th March, 2pm.
We were delighted to present, Drop Shadows, which brought together new work by Katherine Jones RA and Temsuyanger Longkumer.
Organised in collaboration with Sims Reed Gallery, Drop Shadows explored the delicate — and often deceptive - minutia of the natural world, through painting, sculpture and printmaking. Despite very different upbringings in Hertfordshire and Nagaland, Katherine and Temsuyanger's respective artistic practices share an intense fascination with the subtly transformative forces of nature, and its power to represent both danger and refuge.
This was the first exhibition to present a substantial body of paintings by Katherine, who is renowned as a printmaker. These unique works were shown in dialogue with a new series of terracotta sculptures by Temsuyanger, created especially for the show.
