Sweet Monument brings together two young and exciting painters from the shortlists of the Jerwood Painting Prize and Saatchi’s 4 New Sensations 2007.Jonathan Stubbs and Louise Thomas draw inspiration from both the ephemeral and the eternal. While Jonathan’s work points towards the metaphysical infinite, a space beyond, Louise paints a world abandoned by it. One transcends the material and dares to imagine a presence invisible. One celebrates emptiness, not denying the ghost, but content to linger in the monuments alone. Both, in lament and testament, paint the edifices that men leave behind, solid and passionate, they capture the silence that surrounds both the ruin and its maker.Private view – Wednesday 11th June, 6-9pm
