LOOK OUT | EXHIBITION EXTENDED We’re delighted to announce that LOOK OUT has been extended until 19 December 2026 at CLOSE Gallery, Somerset. ✨ Bringing together artists across generations, LOOK OUT explores landscape as both a physical reality and a psychological space, a place of memory, imagination, belonging, resilience and renewal. Spanning a century of artistic engagement with the land, the exhibition brings together painting, sculpture, drawing and installation, revealing the many ways landscape continues to shape how we understand ourselves and the world around us. Featuring works by David Abbott, Dien Berziga, Christabel Blackburn, Sarah Gillespie, Magnus Hammick, Ivon Hitchens, Lee Johnson, Charlotte Keates, Rob Lyon, Katherine Perrins, Ged Quinn, Myrna Quiñonez, Saad Qureshi and Harriet White. Now extended until 19 December 2026

Although inspired by his surroundings, Lyon’s paintings are imagined rather than observed landscapes. Drawing on Paul Nash’s idea of genius loci, or the “spirit of place”, he explores the relationship between people and landscape, considering how we activate the environments we move through and how those places, in turn, affect us. Walking, looking and remembering are central to his process. From sketches, Lyon builds layered compositions of trees, burial mounds, fields and open spaces, using a distinctive visual language of dots, dashes, crosses, triangles, clouds and repeated natural forms. His experience writing music also informs the rhythm, texture and sense of counterpoint within his paintings. Light-filled openings frequently appear within his landscapes, suggesting clearings, portals or moments of transition. For Lyon, these spaces connect landscape with ideas of grief, loss, joy and transformation, giving the natural world an almost sacred quality. For LOOK OUT, Lyon’s work reflects the exhibition’s exploration of landscape as a space shaped by memory, emotion and experience, where the physical and psychological become closely intertwined.

Drawing inspiration from architectural drawings and blueprints, as well as figures such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Buckminster Fuller, Keates creates tranquil environments defined by clean lines, open spaces, swimming pools and lush vegetation. Yet beneath their apparent serenity lies a subtle sense of unease and disorientation. Her carefully constructed perspectives give the paintings an almost dreamlike quality, evoking the feeling of remembering a place that may never have existed. Often devoid of figures, these spaces invite the viewer to enter them imaginatively, becoming temporary inhabitants of unfamiliar interiors. For LOOK OUT, Keates expands the exhibition’s exploration of landscape into the relationship between architecture and environment, considering how physical spaces become intertwined with memory, perception and our sense of place.

Exploring the interconnected themes of ecology, ritual and mapping, the exhibition considers how we understand and inhabit places. Looking beyond the traditional association of terroir with wine, it examines how landscapes are shaped by nature, memory, labour and human intervention, and our evolving relationship with the natural world. The two works on display reflect Alastair and Fleur’s distinctive engagement with natural materials and the landscape: Canopy, 2014/2025 Leaf and wood Stack 5, 2025 Archival pigment print We’re delighted to see their work included and look forward to presenting a solo exhibition at CLOSE next year. Their connection with the gallery continues beyond the exhibition space, with ‘Stack 4’ a sculpture shown in After Nature in 2025, now taking pride of place in the CLOSE Gallery courtyard.

Courtesy of the artists and TERRA. 04 Nov 2026 Trebuchet Magazine spotlights LOOK OUT at CLOSE Gallery Somerset, exploring a century of artistic engagement with landscape through the perspectives of artists across generations. 🌿 The feature includes an insightful interview with Christabel Blackburn, who reflects on her relationship with the natural world, the influence of Somerset’s landscape on her practice, and the power of art to preserve our connection to places as they change. Bringing together fourteen artists, LOOK OUT explores landscape as both a physical reality and a psychological space, where memory, imagination, belonging, and ecological change intersect. The article also features reflections from CLOSE Founder Freeny Yianni, highlighting the exhibition’s invitation to slow down, reconnect with nature, and reconsider our place within it. LOOK OUT

Johnson studied Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, completing his MA in 2001, and has since exhibited widely across the UK and internationally. His work is held in public and private collections including Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge, University of the Arts London and Soho House, as well as collections across Europe, the USA and Australia. His practice has received significant recognition, including selection for the John Moores Painting Prize at Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, and finalist status in the Contemporary British Painting Prize 2023. In 2021, he won the inaugural Lido Stores Open, leading to a solo exhibition at the gallery the following year. Johnson’s work has been shown in institutions including Hastings Contemporary, Kettle’s Yard, Walker Art Gallery, Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art and Huddersfield Art Gallery, alongside exhibitions with galleries and artist-led spaces internationally. For LOOK OUT, Johnson contributes to the exhibition’s wider exploration of landscape, perception and place, adding another contemporary perspective to the dialogue between the external world and our experience of it.

Working with materials gathered from former industrial sites, mine tailings and waste dams, McCausland transforms industrial residues into pigments for paintings that hold traces of the landscapes from which they came. The works explore how extraction and industry continue to shape the environment, revealing unexpected colours, textures and material histories. The Residues invites us to look again at the relationship between art, landscape and ecological change. 📅 Upcoming events at Proposition 7 November, 3–4pm: blisters & bedrock — performance-installation by @assiaghendir. 7 January 2027, 7–8pm: Erth — a screening of John Latham’s 1971 film @flattimeho 16 January 2027, 3–4pm: @OnyaMcCausland in conversation with @Ben_Tufnell, marking the closing of The Residues. 📅 Exhibition runs until 16 January 2027 🕐 Wednesday - Saturday, 1-7pm 📍 Proposition, 279 Cambridge Heath Road, London, E2 0EL For sales, contact Richard Scarry [email protected] #OnyaMcCausland #TheResidues #CLOSEGallery #Proposition #ContemporaryArt Photos by @katarzyna_perlak 29 Oct 2026 We’re delighted to share that four works on paper by Jane Harris (1956-2022) have been acquired by the British Museum for its Works on Paper collection. Spanning 2005-2012, the works reflect Harris’s distinctive exploration of the ellipse, repetition and the relationships between colour, form and perception. Through her meticulous approach to drawing and watercolour, Harris created compositions that shift between precision and fluidity, inviting us to look again and discover something new with each encounter. This acquisition is a wonderful recognition of Jane’s remarkable artistic legacy and the enduring significance of her work. Many thanks to curator of Western Modern and Contemporary Graphic Works @jennyramkalawon, Jane’s family and The Estate of Jane Harris for making this happen. Swipe to discover the four works and read more on closeltd.com/news or visit The British Museum website!

During Frieze Week we opened KAIROS and last week we hosted a conversation with our talks partner, Apollo, bringing together artist Stewart Geddes, curator Freeny Yianni, and Lucy Waterson of Apollo. The conversation explored the creative process, light, colour and movement. Working closely with CLOSE Gallery, KAIROS considers the moments where chance and intention meet, inviting us to reflect on the nature of artistic creation. Join us at TM Gallery where the exhibition is on show until 16 December 2026, available to view by appointment. 📍 TM Gallery, 7 Cubitt Street, London, WC1X OLN 📽️ @oglesbycharlotte @closeltd @stewart.geddes @apollomagazine #BringingArtToLight #TMGallery #CLOSEGallery#KAIROS 26 Oct 2026 A little behind the scenes at SAW This week, the team headed to CLOSE Gallery in Hatch Beauchamp to spend some time exploring LOOK OUT: A Group Exhibition Exploring Landscape Across a Century of Change. With our Arts Council National Portfolio application in progress, we’ve been spending time talking about SAW’s values, ambitions and what we want to deliver over the coming years. It was lovely to step away from our meeting, get together and spend time looking at art. Part of Somerset Art Weeks Festival 2026, LOOK OUT brings together artists across generations, exploring the many ways we see, experience and imagine landscape. CLOSE was founded by Freeny Yianni, who is also Co-Chair of SAW, and it’s great to see a Somerset gallery bringing local connections into conversation with established and contemporary artists. The exhibition continues until 19 December, so if you haven’t visited yet, there’s still time to go along and have a look for yourself.

It’s been such a pleasure seeing these paintings out of the studio and amongst the everyday life of the library. People reading, talking, drinking coffee, children passing through. I couldn’t have wished for a lovelier setting for this work. The paintings began as an exploration of playgrounds and the strange beauty of these familiar, often overlooked spaces. Over time, they’ve become something more personal - about childhood, the passing of time, and the experience of motherhood. Nets, ropes and structures that hold, support, contain and sometimes entangle. There’s something very special about seeing them together after so long in the making. A huge thank you to Taunton Library for welcoming the work, and to everyone who has visited, stopped to look or shared a kind word. Playtime, 8–17 October 2026. 🩵 #katherineperrins #modernstilllife 17 Oct 2026 Installation day. A closer look behind the scenes as KAIROS by Stewart Geddes takes shape at TM Gallery. The exhibition explores the relationship between intuition, chance, and deliberation through Geddes’ expressive use of colour. Here is a closer look at the installation process, with curator Freeny Yianni overseeing the placement of each work and its presentation within the gallery. KAIROS is on view by appointment at the TM Gallery until 16 December 2026. #BringingArtToLight #NotForProfitGallery #TMGallery #StewartGeddes #KAIROS @freeny_yianni @closeltd @stewart.geddes 15 Oct 2026
