Salon

Paul Stolper is pleased to announce Salon, a group exhibition featuring works by Susannah Baker-Smith, Helen Beard, Lauren Bryden, Sarah Hardacre, Susie Hamilton, Donna McLean, Grace O’Connor and Jemima Stehli. Bringing together practices developed across a period of almost thirty years, the exhibition focuses on painting, printmaking, needlework, and sculpture, offering a broad overview of different approaches to image-making and material experimentation. Rather than proposing a single thematic framework, Salon unfolds through a constellation of individual voices and artistic positions. The exhibition highlights the ways in which these artists engage with surface, texture, representation, and gesture, while maintaining distinct visual languages and methodologies. Across media and generations, the works establish unexpected correspondences and productive contrasts that reveal both continuity and transformation within contemporary artistic practice. Through this dialogue, Salon becomes a space in which different temporalities, techniques, and sensibilities coexist. The exhibition invites viewers to move between intimate and expansive forms of expression, considering how ideas circulate across mediums and how artistic practices evolve while remaining attentive to the material and conceptual possibilities of their chosen forms.
