The Unexpected
Curated by Dr. Ferren Gipson (Cavaliero Finn Gallery)
The Unexpected brings together artists who push the boundaries of material, process, and form. Through innovative, playful, and radical approaches, the exhibition explores how materials can be reimagined to challenge conventions, disrupt hierarchies, and create new layers of meaning. Celebrating experimentation and reinvention, The Unexpected invites audiences to rethink the relationship between material, technique, and contemporary practice.

IKUKO Iwamoto Solo Show
I am going to have a solo show at Onomachi α in Wakayama City, Japan this August.
The artist talk will be held on 4th August 13:00-14:00 (local time). The theme is… I feel I have lived in a space where my existence cannot be explained by classical physics. By using a kiln to transform the invisible waves of elementary particles into tangible forms, I strive to become an alchemist, exploring the continuous flow of the present moment.
Please visit the gallery if you have a plan to visit Japan this summer.

20 years of Cavaliero Finn
In 2004, Juliana Cavaliero and Debra Finn curated their first exhibition as Cavaliero Finn in a home in South London and they haven't looked back since. I met them in 2007 just after I graduated from RCA.
For this exhibition, Cavaliero Finn returns to its South London roots to celebrate its 20th birthday at Stockwell Studio. The exhibition will feature a wide range of artists who have shown with the gallery during the last 20 years including work by our current portfolio of artists and work from some of our earlier artists.
Running from 11th May and finishing on May 18th, 20 years of Cavaliero Finn exhibition is part of both the Dulwich Festival 2024, (which was the original launch platform for Cavaliero Finn back in 2004) and London Craft Week 2024.
