This exhibition brings together 4 artists all working in different mediums, but are unified by their calming, minimalistic styles.
Thompson's are also thrilled to introduce artist and collagist, Brian Reinker, as part of this exhibition.

The four artists in this exhibition share a profound sensitivity to presence, memory, and materiality, expressed through their unique approaches to painting and sculpture. Though two work in oil and two in sculpture, they are united by a quiet intimacy in their subject matter—whether figures, still lives, or interiors—each infused with a sense of atmosphere and contemplation.

Ben Lowe and Sarah Spencer explore the human presence in different ways. Lowe captures figures in a loose, expressive manner, where form dissolves into abstraction, evoking fleeting emotions and memories. While Spencer focuses on domestic interiors, rendering them with a rich, tactile realism that speaks of stillness and solitude. These two approaches complement each other, offering a dialogue between the ephemeral and the tangible, the gestural and the precise.

Working with still life in stone, Gabriele Risso's work echoes these themes by carving everyday objects—bottles, vessels, and tables—into limestone, solidifying transient moments into permanence. The carved recesses and shadows within the stone create an interplay between absence and form, reinforcing the exhibition’s meditation on memory, space, and material.
Together, these artists explore the poetics of presence, inviting viewers into spaces that feel both familiar and elusive. Their work speaks of time, its passing, its traces, and its weight, through paint and stone, surface and depth, movement and stillness.
