Event: Into The Cosmere

Dates: 10 Nov 2021 - 22 Nov 2021

Step 'Into The Cosmere’, an exhibition exploring fantastical, alien landscapes, and the world builders who create them.
Bringing together a collective of 18 emerging and established artists from the UK, Europe, and North America, whose art explores the emotional potential in altering our perceptions of natural order and universal law.
Using paint, print, pencil, sculpture and material design, the featured artists present atmospheric, topological, geological, and ecological perspectives which change our understanding of reality, providing portals through which we can step into another place. Alien planets, different dimensions, astral plains, altered laws of science; this collection of art provides the same capacity to lose ourselves in our own imaginative experiences, as science fiction and fantasy writers present in the worlds housing their structured narratives.

Event: Euphoric

Dates: 13 Sep 2021 - 13 Oct 2021

Joséphine May Bailey is delighted to present “EUPHORIC”, a group exhibition featuring twenty six women* artists.

To feel euphoric is to feel overwhelmed by happiness.

This exhibition explores the diversity of euphoric experiences and the effect this time and this emotion have had on each artist.

Euphoria is uplifting. It can be intense but brief, and leaves you wanting more. With the promise of a post-covid “euphoria” dangling above our heads, this exhibition showcases the resilience, intensity, catharsis and beauty in such a simple, shared emotion.

Event: Rosa Oculus

Dates: 1 Aug 2021 - 31 Aug 2021

The incredible collection from Mansfield's Pimlico solo exhibition.
Many of Olivia's sources lie in Myth, legend & folklore; embellished by a deep connection to fantasy and imaginary worlds. Rosa Oculus depicts a convergence of these themes, also drawing composition and narrative inspiration from the luminosity, colour, storytelling & form of 18th Century stained glass Rose Windows.
Tortured souls, figures and beasts move in and around treacherous shards of darkness and light, fracturing dream-like landscapes. We are witnessed as we witness symbols and flickering sigils emerging within the gestural strokes of paint. With intense displays of colour, texture and layer, Olivia forms visions of somewhere unknown, mystical, transcendent, otherworldly.
Heavy, foreboding skies, caverns and crevasses, megaliths, ley lines, and ethereal rays of light become the splintered landscapes.
