New work released by the Bond Street Art Collective – In Hyde Park #1

The secretive Bond Street Art Collective has released a new image, In Hyde Park #1, a work of saturated crimsons and pinks; a chromatic piece in which the distinction between interior and exterior, centre and periphery, organic form and abstraction becomes increasingly difficult to maintain. The enormous pink expanse appears almost geological. Fine veins radiate … Read more

The Democratic Distribution of Silence by Van Gogh (Not That One)

There is an understandable temptation to describe this work as a field of coloured marks enclosed within a border. Such a reading, while technically defensible, mistakes appearance for ontology. For Van Gogh (Not That One), the individual mark is never autonomous. It exists only in relation to the infinitesimal hesitation separating it from its neighbours. … Read more

Robin Como and the Fiction of Capital: Chance, Secrecy, and the Performance of Financial Truth

There are artists who represent systems, artists who critique systems, and artists who infiltrate systems. Robin Como occupies a more elusive category entirely. Her work does none of these. Instead, it critiques the Western financial system so completely that the distinction between financial documentation, conceptual art, speculative fiction, and administrative bureaucracy quietly dissolves. For over … Read more

I Usually Park Behind the Royal Academy (2026) – New Work by Hedge Fund

Digital pigment print on archival substrate With I Usually Park Behind the Royal Academy, Hedge Fund continues his celebrated exploration of aspiration as public performance. At first glance, the work appears to document a fleeting London street scene: a red Porsche resting quietly against a backdrop of Georgian façades while pedestrians pursue the reassuring banality of … Read more

Postal Artist: The Curious Artistic Practice of Snail Mail Gail

At a time when contemporary art increasingly concerns itself with blockchain provenance, algorithmic authorship and immersive digital environments, the quiet persistence of the postal service feels almost radical. It is perhaps inevitable, then, that someone would eventually make the ordinary postcard into an artistic medium. Less inevitable is that they would do so with such … Read more

Buy, Hold, Exhibit – the conceptual art of Julian Mercer

In the increasingly specialised world of contemporary conceptual art, it is tempting to believe every conceivable subject has already been claimed. Markets have certainly been explored. Money has been examined, criticised, fetishised and dismantled by generations of artists. Yet one emerging figure has quietly carved out an oddly convincing territory that feels entirely his own. … Read more

The Last Tub of Cornish Vanilla before Civilisation Collapses

Johnny Peckham, 2026 With The Last Tub of Cornish Vanilla Before Civilisation Collapses, Johnny Peckham accomplishes the seemingly impossible: he transforms the supermarket freezer into a site of metaphysical inquiry. At first glance, this is simply a depleted Tesco cabinet during a summer heatwave. On closer inspection, it reveals itself as a meditation on entropy, … Read more
