We love this beautiful piece by Nick Paton. Nestled in the recess of an industrial door, with the precarity of movement in the doors or breeze from the gaps; Paton’s intervention brings a slight but beautiful tension to the delicate stalks and lightweight acorn of the piece. A nod to the frequent happening of nature taking over, squeezing itself out of the cracks of man-made edifice, it’s fuzz and bracts offer the otherwise void and slick surface a personality; like a gift.

Thank you to for organising such a wicked show!

Xxijra Hii is pleased to bring 𝘿𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙙 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙙 and 𝙉𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙋𝙖𝙮𝙩𝙤𝙣 together for a two person presentation at First Edition.

Micheaud’s practice is concerned with the act of looking. Seemingly mundane objects and landscapes are carefully observed over time. Overlooked details become central in paintings that capture the atmospheric tones of light and delicate shifts in colour of the environments that frame them. They appear to be born of a resistance to the typical pace of looking; a desire to slow down and delve deeper.

Payton is interested in how ceramic objects inform, infuse, play and function through states of installation. the works displace ideas of space, or more appropriately borders and how we measure and discuss what a border can be.

A collaboration between nine unique spaces supporting the emerging art ecosystem here in London. Organised by for CEHQ.

New painting titles ‘𝘿𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙧’ by

"I've always enjoyed how painting can be a vessel for imagining the fantastical or the sublime, and I wanted to lead on from this idea of giants and grapple with the fantastical through my process of image collection. This led me to the grotesque orcish figure in the painting 'Defiler', and the illustration of faux-classical sculptures in the painting 'Polychromy Study’. Both these images are grappling with the process of rendering something imagined and mythic into the real world. One through the synthetic process of digital renderings for use in film, the other through applying paint to monochrome sculptures to speculate on their previous appearance."

It became apparent that in turning these images into paintings, 'Defiler' and 'Polychromy Study' should not be 'complete' images, they had to appear undeveloped to highlight that these are not the whole sum of their parts. In leaving parts of the canvas untouched the paintings highlight their objecthood. They are not windows into an imagined world, but visual symbols whose meaning needs to be extracted and presented.

This fragmented proposition leads us into the notion of fragile memory, in an ever increasing digital space with lazy recall and diminishing attention spans. In 'Defiler' it is a play on semiotics that brings about familiarity, even with the darker side of the memories we try to bury - quite literally a powerful Orc-like figure propelling it's way through a litany of symbols and code.

This awesome exhibition continues this week!

Hannah Morgan creates narrative through sculptural assemblage, text and audio that considers loss and transformative states of being, addressing the precarity of self and agency in the natural world. This precarity brings about a tension in the works, reflected in the nature of the subterranean and the radical potential these entangled states offer. A ‘happening’ as quick as the formations in pewter, or as slow as the growth of lichen can bring about a set of thread-like channels, all emanating at different pace - slow carving, meticulous metalwork, radial sound, and quick drawings all combining to create rhizomatic chambers of personal connection.

Pictured here are installation shots of ‘𝘈𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘢, 𝘔𝘶𝘥 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘍𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘛𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵’ which is on view until July 22nd!

A wonderful day spent at for ‘𝘚𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴’ a new group exhibition curated by Fergus Wiltshire featuring residents from the second cohort of this very special project and place.

Thanks to all who welcomed us including the Roden family and Aaron Ford who will be showing at the gallery later this year ✨✨

‘𝘈𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘢, 𝘔𝘶𝘥 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘍𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘛𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵’ a new solo show by is now open!

‘Animula’ is an ongoing series drawing on underland entanglements based on research in Scotland's caves and early mine cartography. Using excavation as an entry point, Morgan explores these relationships of matter and organisms, in states of emergence and decay. Central to the work are a new series of alabaster carvings depicting amorphous forms seemingly in a bio transformation. These carvings are woven into a winding network of vestibular forms, scattered schematics and algal ‘wet look’ surfaces.

On until July 22nd at Xxijra Hii 🪨✨

Gorgeous group show incoming at the newly opened !

19 MAY—17 JUNE 2023
Preview 18 MAY 6—9

SAUCISSON — is an absurdist and unapologetically risqué premise for a group show that looks at the soft
boundaries between the semiotics of desire, masculinity and consumption. The exhibitors, working in ceramics,
drawing, photography, video, painting and sculpture, propose a diverse set of narratives to examine and open up
intricate topics of gender and identity. Veiled by irony and employing humour as a tool for seduction, they explore
these provocative subjects in ways that are both playful and subversive.

We are pleased to announce the upcoming solo show by opening on May 12th from 6pm! 💥

Encompassing sculpture, video and drawing, Flores’ work is concerned with affections and aversions within [digital] game spaces, simulated emotions and the emergence of a technological demodé culture.

The work navigates the chaotic, excessive nature of contemporary entertainment - analysing and labelling fictional principles that do not seem to die. Identifying and naming turns them into devices with which to establish new fictitious schemes. The artist usually employs the sculptural practice to work on those reworked specific scenarios.

Join us for this special opening or for the duration of the show and throughout until June 10th ✨

THE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
A short story by Luca George

If I could just go back and make the damn thing myself, then obviously I would. To be honest this whole thing has been an absolute nightmare and I'd rather not talk about it at all.

Exhibition continues until April 22nd.

Pictured: Staircase (Condemned), 2023, wood, lights, hazard tape and other materials, overall display dimensions variable.

Shop Luca George’s Immersive Experience now! Link in bio to purchase.

See the works in the flesh this week, open Fri + Sat 12-6pm ✨

Xxijra Hii is pleased to share that artists and have been selected to exhibit in ‘After the end’ featuring artists who address speculative futures. Curated by .taft.cat for you can see the exhibition online now until May 5th. The link is in our bio 🧌✨

Luca George’s towering, ‘Condemned Staircase’ takes you on a journey from hell, through purgatory and ultimately to paradise.

Starting at the bottom we meet Virgil, the epic Roman poet sent by Dante’s muse Beatrice, to guide you through life’s moral junctions.

Virgil represents reason and wisdom, making him the perfect guide. As the journey progresses, his treatment of the subject changes, depending on the situation. Often and most importantly, Virgil is protective of those who experience the trials and triumphs embedded in Luca’s tower.
