12 May – 11 June
Christie Brown’s figures teeter on the foggy intersection between art and craft. Very clearly sculptural but informed by a deep history of clay. Upon graduating from a diploma in Studio Pottery at Harrow in the early 1980’s, Brown found her work without an obvious niche.
11 May, 6:30pm
Join us in conversation with Christie Brown for the opening of her exhibition ‘Untold Forms of Life’. Christie will talk with Johnny Messum in our Cork Street gallery about her new collection of ceramic sculpture and show us around the exhibition.

In the last four months we have had more than the usual time to plan for this exhibition. Whilst we did not know when we would be able to re-open, we made the decision at the beginning that whatever journey we were about to go on we were going there with our artists and we needed to help each other. This show is a thank you to all of those artists who have made this last period a shared experience and we are delighted to bring this together as the first exhibition in our London Gallery.
