Ben Thouard: Aqua Obscura

Ben Thouard is an ocean artist and one of the world’s foremost surf photographers. In his work water becomes a darkroom, an underwater camera obscura that reveals a singular, immersive vision. This exhibition presents previously unseen photography born of a near-daily practice: a language of water and light. Between organic forms, deep textures and shifts of shadow and clarity, Thouard’s images move between abstraction and contemplation, offering a sensory experience that explores the movements and metamorphoses of liquid matter.

Opening : 25 June, 18:00 – 21:00

Eleven Brazilian artists spanning the twentieth and twenty-first centuries engage in a group exhibition that examines how form is inhabited by belief systems, memory, ritual and everyday experience.

Materials range from painted canvases and carved works to found objects and textile interventions, revealing layered narratives of lineage, syncretism and embodied memory.
