2024 Highlights

If you've been following us on social media or reading our newsletters, you'll know that 2024 has been an eventful year for Broth's artists, seeing numerous exhibition openings, symposiums, workshops and lots more. Here are a few of this year's highlights.

In April, Lauren Bryden (pictured above) was invited to develop new work as part of the Royal Drawing School residency programme at Dumfries House. For two weeks, Bryden practiced new printing techniques, including intaglio, whilst taking in the house's extraordinary grounds.

Resultant works from the residency have been featured at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair and as part of the launch of 'Tailoring for Women' at Norton & Sons, courtesy of Paul Stolper gallery.

Mafalda Figueiredo presented a solo exhibition of paintings at Parallel Vienna earlier this year. The new series of self-portraits explore self-identity and its many facets by virtue of dreams. Surreal and allegorical, they emanate the obscurity associated with dreams themselves whilst signifying the need for self-realisation.

Munchies Art Club Magazine wrote a feature on Figueiredo's beautiful new series. Read the full article here.

Patricia Paolozzi Cain's solo exhibition 'Opposition and Fellowship' at The Briggait in Glasgow ran through September. Including installations of paper models, mixed-media on paper, drawings and monoprints, the exhibition was the result of her winning the RSA X Wasps Award in 2023.

The incredible survey of work was accompanied by both a symposium and panel discussion to further explore Paolozzi Cain's research and interest in meta-thinking and how it informs artistic practice. Speaking of her neurodivergence, Paolozzi Cain also invited debate on neuro-creativity and individual expression in the context of social norms.

Laura McMorrow's solo exhibition at The Dock in County Leitrim, Ireland, opened in October. Named 'The Gardener Digs' after an extract from Derek Jarman's 'Modern Nature', the exhibition presents a series of small-scale paintings together with a stop-motion animation that explore gardens as a place of refuge, sanctuary and healing, whilst raising questions about gardening's impact on the environment both historically and in the present day.
