THE RECOVERY COLLECTION
Michael Epton
March '26 - May '26
This collection documents a profound transformation - both personal and artistic following Michael's battle with encephalitis just two years ago, a rare inflammation of the brain that left him relearning how to walk, talk, think, and create which profoundly changed his practice.
“Life stopped, like I was on a red light, for so long. I had to relearn how to do everything, even how to create, from scratch. Everything I had built over the years was suddenly gone”.
This new collection of oil paintings reflects that patient exploration of light, presence and process, alongside an unexpected joy and discovery of his faith that emerged through recovery.
Michael Epton is a Bethnal Green-based artist with a studio in Bow, whose practice spans 30 years of exhibiting across London and the UK. Working in mixed media, he has recently transitioned from acrylic and pencil to oils.
THREE PIGEONS
Mark Bishop
December '25 - February '26
Mark writes: In these humble pigeons, like our city of London, there is beauty and wonder to be found. Here are three, isolated on their pink, mint and yellow skies but united in this triptych.
One of the reasons I am intrigued by our flying friends is that they remind me to think of God. At the baptism of Jesus, the Spirit descends ' like a dove' and the dove in question is a colomba-livia - a rock dove, also known as a rock pigeon. All our feral pigeons are columba-livia and so it follows that the Spirit of God might just have looked, for that moment in biblical history, like a normal pigeon. In my own journey of life I've found this a great revelation and comfort - that Holiness is not a matter of outward appearances and God is interested in every part of our lives, maybe especially the bits we think look more like a pigeon than a dove.
