“These paintings, lit by their own leafy syntax, by a deep sourced and communal imagination, fuse the mind, art, nature and the thinking spirit into an affirmation as big and unfussed as the sky.” – Ali Smith
CGP London presents the largest solo exhibition to date by British painter Sarah Pickstone. Other Stories brings together new work and selected paintings from The Writers Series (2013).
The park has been a central theme to Sarah Pickstone’s work for two decades. It represents an imaginative space for play and exploration, where motifs of willow and rose are drawn alongside references to the act of making; both in painting and writing.
The Writers Series (first shown at the New Art Centre, Salisbury, in 2013) investigates this very process of making; acknowledging the canon of women writers through recent history who cited literary connections to Regents Park (including Virginia Woolf, Angela Carter, Katherine Mansfield, George Eliot and Sylvia Plath). ‘Stevie Smith and the Willow’ (2011), winner of the John Moores Painting Prize in 2012 is also included in the exhibition.

The Intersection of Aesthetics and Desire: Modern Art's Influence on Adult Entertainment
Another notable illustration of how the aesthetic elements of contemporary art are permeating adult entertainment is the rise of adult webcam services, often referred to as live girl cams. These live-streamed performances resemble interactive installations, where the viewer's gaze and interaction can direct the unfolding tableau. The performers often curate their space and appearance with an artistic touch, incorporating elements of performance art, such as costumes, makeup, and dynamic backdrops that reflect modern art's vibrant and sometimes surreal aesthetics.
