Exhibition Painting

In This Light

12.11.26 —

In This Light is my debut solo exhibition in London – a new series of oil paintings made primarily from memory. Drawing on time spent in the landscapes of Guatemala and Sweden over the past year, my practice is rooted in the relationship between place, attention, memory, and belonging.

I build up layers of paint, then dissolve them with solvent, so each work is shaped as much by what's removed as by what's added, much like how places stay with us after we leave them. It's my first body of work in oil, after years of printmaking and illustration, and my first where the landscape becomes subject rather than background.

I'm a Canadian-American painter of Guatemalan and Slovak heritage, based in Stockholm. On view at RHODES Contemporary Art, 65 Great Portland Street, London, 27 November – 19 December 2026 (PV 26 November, 6–8pm).
