Garden Variety is an exhibition of new paintings by Emily Galicek that celebrate the often-overlooked patterns of the domestic interior.

Drawing on early 20th Century wallpapers and textiles, Galicek’s paintings warp, extend, layer and erase these patterns to create new, playful compositions. These compositions begin digitally, and are translated by hand to the canvas. The final paintings occupy a unique and fertile space between the physical painting and the language of the screen.

Opening event: Thursday 27 April, 5 – 7pm.
