Face to Face

8th March - 29th March 2024

8 Vine Yard is pleased to present Face to Face, an exhibition bringing together works that explore the shifting boundaries between personal and professional, intimate and expansive, individual and collective. Through small-scale paintings and large sculptural installations, the exhibition navigates how identity is shaped by the spaces we occupy—both physically and psychologically.

At the center of the exhibition, Ellie Pearch and Georgina Odell present works in dialogue: modular, mass-produced structures meet the suspended metal fortune tellers— delicate yet rigid forms that hang in clusters, their folded surfaces echoing the layered and unpredictable nature of memory. Surrounding this central interplay, the exhibition’s painters draw the viewer into their worlds through works that demand close attention.

Together, these works create a conversation between micro and macro perspectives—small paintings pulling the viewer into the artists’ inner worlds, while large sculptural installations open onto broader social and spatial dialogues. Face to Face asks how we navigate the dualities of contemporary existence: closeness and distance, introspection and exposure, the personal and the universal.
