Dear All,

Julian Grater's fabulous new show The Lichen Factor is opening tonight. To give you a taster of what it's all about, please read on:

Julian Grater’s new work opens a painterly dialogue with the uncertainty and delicacy of the Arctic’s natural phenomena, and through contemplative and elegiac reflection, he physically and psychologically constructs his landscapes. Grater’s work sits on the border of a figurative and abstract style, representing mountainous scenes, weather stations, and the presence of man in the seemingly infinite white landscapes of the Sub Arctic and Arctic North. Grater’s work subtly blends the borders between contemporary science, art and politics. The exhibition presents not the conclusion of a body of work but the genesis of a project that will develop for many years to come.

The show looks wonderful so please come down to the gallery to see it for yourself!

In other gallery news, we are very much looking forward to Sue Morgan's project space at London Art Fair, Islington, in January (13th -17th). The project space will be a development of her ongoing project into fictional machines and their ability to work through language and catch immaterial thoughts, transforming them into material sculptures. With absolutely fascinating theoretical dexterity and vulnerable artistic maneouvering, this will be a mixed media installation not to be missed.

Anthony Francis, whose first London solo show we have just had, is off to Frankfurt at the moment, visiting the German galleries who represent him. We are incredibly excited about the international career ahead of this young and inspiring artist.
