About
Emily Ferguson / Tomas Harker / Sol Kordich brings together three painters who approach the medium as a flexible space where image, gesture, and atmosphere remain fluid rather than fixed. Emily Ferguson's paintings move between portraiture and apparition. Drawing on the visual language of fashion and contemporary femininity, her figures emerge through layered surfaces where the image feels both fragile and constructed. In Vita Violenta , fragments of imagery and painterly intervention create a charged tension between intimacy, performance, and projection. Tomas Harker's work unfolds through carefully staged compositions that feel at once cinematic and ambiguous. Drawing on the pull of nostalgia and the dream logic of film, his paintings explore how images shape perception within a culture saturated by competing narratives. In works such as Endless Romance , inspired by David Lynch's Lost Highway , drifting symbols and atmospheric light create scenes that resist straightforward storytelling. Other works, including Spell Book , introduce charged motifs—burning books, illustrated pages, and flickering flames—where illumination becomes both an invitation and a warning. Sol Kordich approaches painting through abstraction, emphasizing movement, color, and the physical act of making. Her canvas Night Sea Journey builds through layered gesture and shifting forms, creating a surface that feels immersive and alive with motion. Across these distinct approaches, painting becomes a place where interior states and external images continually blur our encounters with perception.
