Caroline Walker is a Scottish painter whose works, often large-scale oil paintings, depict women in domestic situations or at work – in nail bars or hotels, and most recently in shops and cafes near her studio in north London. Her latest exhibition, ‘Nearby’, is at Grimm Gallery, New York (until 1 May), and her paintings will be shown at KM21 in The Hague later this year (28 August–29 November). She recently joined the roster of artists represented by Stephen Friedman Gallery in London.

It opens directly onto a courtyard, so in the summer I have the doors wide open and the sun streams in.

A Closer Look at the Loie Hollowell-curated Romancing the Surface @ Grimm Gallery, Amsterdam
February 04, 2021 | in Installation
As we previously previewed in our Winter Quarterly, Grimm Gallery is currently hosting a major group exhibition curated by Loie Hollowell, taking over both of their Amsterdam spaces.
Romancing the Surface features works by nine artists who explore the sensorial dynamics of materiality in relation to the physical nature of both painting and sculpture, and we were lucky to have a closeup look and fully enjoy these highly tactile works this past week.
The exhibition itself was planned a long time ago as a celebration of sorts, a way to start a new year by showing works from artists that never exhibited in the city before (besides Hollowell and Louise Giovanelli), and provide art lovers a chance to experience these captivating works in person.

Her ability to merge abstract and figurative elements into an almost surreal modernist aesthetic is at the vanguard of a group of like-minded painters who work with texture and material in original ways.

.- William Monks latest series of paintings titled Point Datum plot a course across some vast and unknowable fictive landscape. What Monk eloquently describes as a bounded arrangement, are a set of parameters for connection; a series of fixed points made physical through applied paint. A series of determinants within a range of painterly options, from scale and tone to the meeting of colors that produce a line and a boundary. A datum point,Monks inversion for the title suggests a geographyrefers to origin and destination, or rather in order to define a course or path one needs two points. For the artist this recognizes not only the fictive space of the image but the space between images, between paintings and keenly between us the viewer and painting. As he explains The imagined painterly space is both abstract and figurative, and the literal space is equally so. Both are physical a
