Bringers of the Dawn - Exhibition of work by Dan y Coed Exhibiting until 31st December / Join the artist for drinks on 14th Dec 6pm Bonnington Cafe 11 Vauxhall Grove, Bonnington Square, Vauxhall SW8 1TD |
|
Bringers of the Dawn calls you to remember what has always lived within you – the light of your ancestors and the code of the stars. Through masks, faces, and sculptural forms, this exhibition unveils humanity’s twin lineage: born of Earth, yet seeded by the cosmos. Each creation is both relic and revelation – a vessel for transformation and a shimmer of awakening. Here, art becomes transmission; matter reveals its hidden light. Step across the threshold, and remember: The ancestors live within you – they are within you. You are the dawn arising – the living continuation of their song. MORE INFO |

Radical Harmony: Helene Kröller-Müller's Neo-Impressionists
Exhibiting until 8th February 2026 The National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, WC2N 5DN |
|
See paintings by artists including Seurat, Van Gogh, Signac and Pissarro. Neo-Impressionists painted in small dots of pure colour. Viewed from a distance, the colours blend to create nuanced tones and an illusion of light. Now known as pointillism, this technique simplified form and played with colour in an entirely new way, verging on the edge of abstraction. MORE INFO |
