We are excited to be working with British artist Daisy Dodd-Noble on her new solo exhibition Landscapes from the UK, coming soon to Roman Road’s gallery in Notting Hil. The show will feature a collection of her latest paintings, teeming with thriving trees and shrubs in idyllic landscapes. Through her practice, Dodd-Noble seeks to disassemble component parts of the traditional landscape – by presenting trees as distinguished individuals – encouraging us to consider our own uniqueness and at once our shared consciousness and interdependence with the natural world. Landscapes from the UK opens on Wednesday 07 December from 6 – 8 PM and will continue until 14 January 2023.

 

Opening: Wednesday 07 December 2022, 6 – 8 PM

Exhibition: Thursday 08 December 2022 – Saturday 14 January 2023

Location: 50 Golborne Road, London W10 5PR

 

On the occasion of Bex Massey’s solo exhibition The truth is out there at Roman Road, writer and editor Louis Wise joined us for a conversation with the artist, to explore the autobiographical aspects of her recent paintings and the inescapable realities and subjections of the LGBT community that inspired their making. In their open and insightful discussion, they drew upon Massey’s interest and investigation into Queer history, ’90s pop culture and the pre-internet era, while reflecting on the impact and role that Section 28 – a reviled law existing from 1988-2003 across Britain that forbade local authorities and schools from promoting homosexuality – played in shaping both their lives, and the artist’s current practice. With a similar law, the commonly dubbed ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill having been passed in Florida earlier this year, are we not witnessing history repeat itself? What can be done to break the cycle?

You are invited to join us for a conversation between Bex Massey and Louis Wise on the occasion of our current show Bex Massey: The truth is out there. Writer and editor Louis Wise will be discussing queerness, camp, and the long shadow cast by section 28, after a guided exhibition tour with Roman Road’s creative director and founder Marisa Bellani.
