Ahead of British Art Fair next month, discover a preview of the galleries exhibiting in Spotlight: Contemporary, and the artists at the heart of their presentations this year. |

| Ed Cross Fine Art | Pippa El-Khadi Brown
A London-based artist of British and Iraqi heritage, El-Kadhi Brown creates paintings that evoke landscapes of the mind, where emotion, nostalgia, and imagination merge into fluid, otherworldly compositions. Her distinctive visual language draws together fragments of childhood, faded memories, tactile textures, and dream logic, allowing forms to emerge, dissolve, and transform across the surface.

| James Freeman Gallery | Malene Hartmann Rasmussen
Working within the field of narrative figurative sculpture and installation, a recurring theme in Hartmann Rasmussen's work is the forest and mythological creatures that lurk in the dark woods. Hartmann Rasmussen’s interest in the forest stems from its recurrence in European literature and myth, ancient cults, pagan rituals, and as a metaphor for the hidden realms of the unconscious mind.

| Narrative Gallery | Bethany Holmes
Based in the countryside, Bethany Holmes is inspired by the shifting light, colour, and atmosphere of the surrounding landscape - creating paintings that evoke the feeling of place rather than its physical form. Working intuitively, she begins each painting with meditative colour mixing before building layered compositions through spontaneous, gestural mark-making. Her harmonious, nature-inspired palettes, create works that are both energetic and contemplative.
