Terence Wilde features in The Box at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery in London

An online exhibition to mark a year since Terence Wilde set up the collective ‘Amid the Silent Flowers’ in London. It showcases works created during that time, a new short film about the importance of stitch, and an essay from Terence about the cathartic process for him, and the group more broadly. You’ll notice a common theme of taking back ownership of ‘negative’ words and phrases said to them over years, now turning them into something positive. Terence initiated this by sharing that back in the 80s someone said to him that his work was ‘not bad for a queer’… so you can imagine where these conversations have led the group.

Castles are Elsewhere is an exhibition that commemorates the life of Roger Cardinal (1940-2019), whose fascination with the extraordinary led him on a wondrous odyssey upon which he encountered creativity in the most unexpected places. Roger is probably best known for his seminal book titled Outsider Art, published in 1972 - the first of its kind in the UK which this year celebrates its 50th anniversary. It was followed a few years later in 1979, with the ground-breaking Outsiders exhibition at The Hayward Gallery.

‘Esprits Libres’ encouraged us to take a fresh look at unique, authentic, surprising artistic expressions. It featured the work of Shinichi Sawada alongside eleven other artists.

Mohammed M’rabet is the last surviving member of a group of largely self-taught Moroccan painters who were sometimes referred to as ‘the Bowles boys’ after the late American writer and composer Paul Bowles, who promoted the careers of its members. He is the least well known of these painters, not because he is less talented, but, as a storyteller, this quickly overshadowed his artistic reputation.

Join me in viewing new works of M’rabet, and get in touch should anything be of interest. Thanks to M’rabet’s family for their help with this online exhibition.

I would like you to join me in a celebration of the work of Robin Wise who sadly passed away in 2021 aged just 59. Although originally from Stirling, Robin Wise had resided in Aberdeen since 1991. He was a quiet and gentle self-taught artist, who was recognised as being on the Autistic Spectrum shortly after his birth in 1961. He was particularly thankful to those around him at Newton Dee – a community based on the outskirts of Aberdeen, that supports learning disabled adults to live, as well as find meaningful work and learn new skills, – who gave him the space and support to develop his skills and his own individual style.
