Cultivate Presents Sofia Martins Gray – Diachronic Suspension(s) – an online art exhibition…
Sofia Martins Gray has been exhibiting with Cultivate both physically and on-line for a number of years now.

Sofia Martins Gray has been exhibiting with Cultivate both physically and on-line for a number of years now. First and foremost I consider the London-based Portuguese artist to be a very painterly painter. I have said all this before, but I love the way she paints with her cameras, with her Polaroids, I love her textures, her sense of drama, I rather like her mystery, the noises she makes, I like that she once said in an interview with us for Organ, when asked about her work practice, that she worked both “spontaneously and not spontaneously. It depends on the intensity of the image”. Sofia’s work certainly is intense, as is her excellent (art-rock) band Starsha Lee. Sofia is one of my favourite painters. (Sean Worrall)
These are recent pieces, new work produced over the last year, Polaroid and Instant Film pieces.

And that was it, a 38th on-line exhibition and something like the 19rd Cultivate show in all, somewhere around that anyway. A big big thanks to anyone and everyone who has visited the exhibition, a big big thanks to all involved in the show.
If you do feel like making a small donation – We bring all this art, music and underculture to you for free, we really don’t want to clutter up our pages with annoying adverts, no one wants that, but it does take up a lot of time, hours and hours of time. If you should feel like supporting Organ/Cultivate (for it is one in the same) by making a small donation to help keep all this flowing that would be delightful, thank you.
.
Coming next? Well we are heading into Spring 2024, I expect there will be more as the daffodils take over. Next up, well maybe the seventh in an ongoing series on Mixtape group shows? or maybe soemthing esle, it won’t be long in coming though.
