Great Pulteney Street gallery (GPS Gallery) is launching the inaugural edition of Soho Solos, a new exhibition programme developed from last year’s Soho Open in partnership with Parker Harris. Following a group exhibition of shortlisted artists in November, 4 winning artists now return with solo presentations under one roof.
Running from 10th–28th June, Soho Solos brings together exhibitions by Mandy Hudson, James Robert Morrison, Conor Quinn and Alice Sheppard Fidler, highlighting the breadth and diversity of contemporary artistic practice today.
Alice Sheppard Fidler: Present Continuous
Alice Sheppard Fidler presents her showcase of sculpture as a space of unstable hierarchies and reversible roles, where front and back, performer and support, object and stage are continuously negotiated.
She draws on the language of set design not to present a resolved performance, but to expose the conditions that produce it. In transforming ‘low’ materials, she uses them as physical and conceptual tools to challenge boundaries and question preconceived ideas around value.
Conor Quinn: White Bread
Against the setting of his family’s Irish pub, Conor Quinn hosts a surreal wake. Working with the concept of car-crash eroticism, he explores the fetishisation of one’s own death and the balance between fear and curiosity.
His paintings hold an uneasy tension, and his sculptures an uncanniness, intending to overstimulate and cause a sense of claustrophobic discomfort.
James Robert Morrison: Moments of Visibility
James Robert Morrison’s first solo exhibition is a response to a period of collective and personal darkness. He presents a body of work drawn on opaque, brown liquorice cigarette paper using black and white coloured pencils.
In Moments of Visibility, previously concealed figures referenced from the gay pornographic magazines, are brought into the light. Held on surfaces that are easily folded or destroyed, capturing the precarious nature of queer memory while reframing moments once shaped by secrecy as quiet, tender and resilient acts of connection.
Mandy Hudson: Untold Objects
Mandy Hudson elevates everyday items by arranging them into still lifes and immortalising them in her paintings. Finding inspiration in accidental arrangements at house clearances or flea markets, she allows the objects to influence the way they are interpreted. For glassware, she tends towards a mass of brush marks, while a collection of gloves spotted on a market stall takes on a flat and graphic quality.
At the same time as these Soho Solos conclude the inaugural edition, creatives at all stages of their careers and from across the UK are again invited to submit their work for consideration. This year, gallery director Monika Bobinska is joined by Kate Bryan, Darren from London Art Roundup, James Payne and Lisa Wright to choose up to 100 works to be exhibited at Great Pulteney Street Gallery in November.
