Candida Stevens Gallery brings together four inimitable, abstract artists - Julian Brown, Celia Cook, Jane Harris and Mali Morris RA - to look at how contemporary painting finds itself in agreement with this sentiment. Using their 'touch', they harness colour, sound, depth and perspectival looking, to prioritise this idea and express what it is to 'be' in the world. The pleasures in these paintings arise not simply from physical and surface sensation alone but from the signs of the mind thinking. Here these artists' perceptions present us with a specialised version of touch, and touch the foundation for what is seen.

We will be showing work by Celia Cook, Alice Kettle, Jeremy Gardiner, Julian Brown, Stephen Farthing and Olivia Stanton, sculpture by Almuth Tebbenhoff. Stand B39.
