Marlene Steyn, You-Me-Verse at Lychee One, Hackney, East London – Did go check out the new Marlene Steyn show at Hackney’s Lychee One the day after the show opened, never the most friendly or engaging of galleries, or that informative for that matter, but they are just over the road from us here and we…
James Owens has some paintings hanging over in Lychee One at the moment, Dreaming of UFOs, a new body of work from the painter – “Through psychologically charged expressions of emotional states, the artist’s paintings of luminous nocturnal scenes suggest the power of mystery and anticipation. The show’s title draws on Owens’ experiences of following…
Benjamin Murphy – Disasterpiece at Lychee One Gallery, Hackney, East London – Needed to go back for a second look at this one, Lychee One is a strange gallery, a cold gallery, a squeaky clean not very friendly white-walled glass fronted space in a new build, there’s never much information (or indeed conversation) about their…
Five more art things. five art things, five more art things happening somewhere around right now or any moment now. Five art shows to check out in the coming days.

Another Thursday evening in East London, let’s go explore, Is that the distinctive drone of an art crowd? Can we hear the sound of an opening night at an art gallery? You can always tell, to the trained ear it is a very distinctive sound, we didn’t see it, we heard it, is that the…
The new art year is up and galloping then, well maybe not quite galloping but we did go to our first openings of the year last night, the first Thursday of 2023, the fifth day of the year. We’ll be along with some coverage and a typo or two in a moment. As we’ve said…
We can’t let this pass without a quick word, Hackney’s much loved New Art Projects gallery is, sadly for those of us still hanging on here in this once art-rich part of East London, on the move and off to pastured new (and not long after Roman Road’s migration from Bethnal Green to West London…
So what did excite is in terms of the London art scene in 2019? Cleaning up before we get on with the business of properly entering the roaring twenties or whatever we’re going to call this new rather foreboding decade. The plan was to do one of those retrospective “best of” look backs over the…
