As Wide as the Sea

LON Gallery is delighted to present our first exhibition of the year, As Wide As The Sea, featuring works by Stephen Benwell, Jake Preval, Jeremy Eaton, Briony Galligan, Mel Deerson, Dr Christian Thompson AO and Neil Beedie.

The exhibition charts a variety of approaches to figuration in contemporary practice as seen through the lens of artists identifying as queer. Including works by artists at varying stages of their careers and spanning a variety of media, the exhibition uses a quote by the seminal artist Derek Jarman as both its title and point of departure.
