Filthy Lucre review – peacock problems for Whistler the avant-garde cowboy

Filthy Lucre review – peacock problems for Whistler the avant-garde cowboy

by Lisa Gray | Jan 25, 2020 | Art News

V&A, London
Darren Waterston’s remake of the painter’s opulent Peacock Room is a vision of dripping stalactites, decay and ruin. But this ‘showette’ all feels rather ordinary – unlike Whistler’s work

Rooted in Bristol and inspired by the landscapes a Rooted in Bristol and inspired by the landscapes and creative spirit of the West Country, Clifton Contemporary Art has built its reputation on carefully selected artists, thoughtful exhibitions and a personal approach to collecting art. Run by Sarah and Nick, the gallery brings together painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking and jewellery, celebrating the many ways artists interpret landscape, place and material. In our latest interview, we speak with Sarah and Nick about their shared vision, the importance of supporting artists and why instinct and genuine relationships remain at the heart of everything they do.

JEFF DILLON | PAINTING THE CANADIAN LANDSCAPE Col JEFF DILLON | PAINTING THE CANADIAN LANDSCAPE Colour, movement and a lifelong connection to nature. Canadian artist Jeff Dillon transforms forests, lakes and changing seasons into expressive landscapes defined by vibrant colour, movement and light. Working with heavy-body acrylics, Dillon has developed a distinctive approach that moves beyond photographic realism to capture the character of a place. With more than 300 original paintings and works featured in Canadian embassy installations internationally, his practice reflects a lifelong fascination with the natural world. In our latest interview, Dillon discusses his creative process, the influence of the Group of Seven and Emily Carr, the evolution of his painting practice and the countless landscapes he still hopes to paint. “It’s your handprint on the cave wall, in a way.” Read the full interview on The Flux Review. https://www.thefluxreview.com/jeff-dillon/ #TheFluxReview #JeffDillon #CanadianArt #ContemporaryArt #LandscapePainting #CanadianArtist #ArtistInterview #AcrylicPainting #ContemporaryPainting #ArtMagazine

Through his Freehandlines project, architect and artist Christian Coop has built an extensive portrait of the capital, exploring the buildings and histories that give the city its character.

IN CONVERSATION WITH OTTO SCHADE Intertwining rib IN CONVERSATION WITH OTTO SCHADE Intertwining ribbons build bodies and familiar forms, while vivid sunsets conceal darker stories. For Chilean artist Otto Schade, also known as Osch, an image’s first impression is only the beginning. In our latest interview, Schade discusses the architectural and sculptural roots of his distinctive ribbon style, finding his own visual language in Shoreditch and using public space to explore war, consumerism and the contradictions of contemporary life.

INDUSTRY EXPERT INTERVIEW: JAMES CARTER What happ INDUSTRY EXPERT INTERVIEW: JAMES CARTER What happens after an artist pays the entry fee, sends the gallery email or gets their first big opportunity? James Carter, painter, writer and founder of Creative Flair, has built much of his work around these questions. From putting emerging artists’ work on London billboards through The Public Canvas to gathering independent reviews of art opportunities through Fair Signal, Carter is addressing problems he has encountered as a working artist himself. In our latest interview, he talks candidly about pricing, rejection, visibility and what art education leaves out. He also discusses his move to Paris and the personal connection between running a highly visible platform and making paintings about addiction and approval.

NEW ARTIST INTERVIEW | MIREILLE BOTROS “I couldn’ NEW ARTIST INTERVIEW | MIREILLE BOTROS “I couldn’t imagine my life without painting.” For Mireille Botros, that realisation changed everything. After years working in banking and business consulting, a period of serious ill health led her to discover a passion for painting that would take her life in an entirely new direction. Now based in Yorkshire, the British-Egyptian artist creates expressive portraits that explore human emotion through colour and instinctive brushwork. In our latest interview, Botros talks about finding her artistic voice, starting again in a completely different profession and building a thriving creative community through Creative Social Saltaire and Studio Botros.

They are constantly changing, growing, decaying and becoming something new. In our latest interview for The Flux Review, Burgers discusses the enduring influence of flowers on her practice, the rhythms of her Vancouver garden, the freedom of collage and the instinctive process behind her layered, expansive paintings.

NEW INDUSTRY EXPERT INTERVIEW Louise Fitzjohn, fo NEW INDUSTRY EXPERT INTERVIEW Louise Fitzjohn, founder and director of Liminal Gallery in Margate, joins The Flux Review to discuss what it really means to build a gallery around artists, trust and long-term career development. Drawing on her experience across the commercial gallery sector, Fitzjohn speaks openly about supporting underrepresented artists, the barriers facing working-class creatives, the importance of community, and why the relationship between artist and gallerist should be collaborative rather than prescriptive. She also discusses Liminal Gallery’s experimental programme, Margate’s growing cultural identity, the responsibility galleries have to pay artists first, and why the success of an exhibition should never be judged by sales alone. For artists approaching galleries, Fitzjohn also shares practical advice on finding the right representation and building relationships that can genuinely support a career.

NEW INTERVIEW ✨ We are delighted to feature Briti NEW INTERVIEW ✨ We are delighted to feature British contemporary painter Tamara Williams on The Flux Review. Williams creates evocative, dream-like semi-abstract landscapes where colour, texture, memory and place come together to form imagined environments. After a successful career in graphic design, Williams moved into full-time painting in 2021. Her design background can still be felt in the balance, composition and structure of the work, while her painting process has become increasingly intuitive, experimental and tactile. Working with plaster, wood panels, canvas and printmaking tools, Williams builds, carves and sands into the surface, allowing each painting to develop into a place of its own. Her work is now collected and exhibited across the UK, with Leave No Trace selected for the 2025 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and Williams shortlisted for the 2026 British Art Prize. In our new interview, Williams talks about leaving the commercial design world behind, working intuitively, her fascination with landscape and materials, and the changing meaning of success.

🇬🇧 NEW INTERVIEW | BRUNO TEIXEIRA AKA SEPHER We s 🇬🇧 NEW INTERVIEW | BRUNO TEIXEIRA AKA SEPHER We speak with Portuguese multidisciplinary artist SEPHER about the neighbourhoods that shape his work, the communities of the Sintra Line and the power of public art to change the way we see the places around us. At the heart of the interview is Prédios Pintados de Ouro, his mural in Tapada das Mercês, where giant figures carry buildings on their backs and an abandoned property is transformed in gold. It is a work that opens up conversations around housing, value, belonging and the difference between simply passing through a place and truly knowing it. A fascinating interview about art created not just for a community, but from within it.

I am so excited to share a brand new interview on I am so excited to share a brand new interview on The FLUX Review with Canadian artist Murray Henderson. For more than three decades, Henderson has pushed photorealism beyond technical precision, developing his distinctive Exact Abstract approach where control, instinct, movement and unpredictability collide. In this fascinating interview, he talks about the accidental paint spill that changed the direction of his work, his passion for sport and cultural icons, and his latest exploration of incorporating authentic sporting memorabilia directly into paintings. “Technique is no longer the destination. It is the language.” There is so much in this conversation about taking risks, letting go of perfection and allowing a painting to become something unexpected.

In our new critical review, Elham Mohammadi Nezhad: The Body as a Place of Becoming, we explore paintings shaped by motherhood, memory, identity and change.

There is something beautifully unsettled about Ale There is something beautifully unsettled about Alex Pascual’s drawings. Working in coloured pencil on paper, his figures seem to appear and disappear at the same time, moving between observation, memory and imagination. In his new Q&A for The FLUX Review, Alex talks about the places that have shaped his work, the artists who have influenced him and why he is increasingly interested in what happens when an image is left unresolved.

In the interview, he talks about his years in California, the influence of artists including Rembrandt, Bacon and Auerbach, his move from skin to canvas and the raw, heavily layered paintings he is now creating.

London-based Corinne’s ceramic practice explores the relationship between physical urban spaces and our digital anxieties.

New exhibition review now live: Yucen Liu – Unit o New exhibition review now live: Yucen Liu – Unit of Living. London-based artist and researcher Yucen Liu examines the systems, interfaces and technologies that increasingly organise contemporary life. Presented at Collective Art Gallery, Unit of Living transforms familiar digital symbols, browser windows, measuring tools, photographic archives and everyday objects into installations that feel both recognisable and strangely unfamiliar. Porcelain patterns spread across email inboxes and weather applications. Digital commands are translated into jade. Rulers measure machine-readable data rather than distance, while personal photographs accumulate like an endless physical social-media feed. Through these acts of displacement, Liu asks how systems designed to help us navigate the world also determine what can be recorded, compared, remembered and understood.

The latest edition of The FLUX Review is out now! The latest edition of The FLUX Review is out now! Inside Edition 14, we sit down with FLUX writer, socialite, author and media personality Steve Smith to explore his extraordinary creative journey. Steve’s lifelong love affair with art began at an early age, when he was rarely seen without a pencil, crayon or paintbrush in his hand. After achieving an A grade in both art and pottery, he secured a place at art school to study fashion and fine art. Life, however, had other plans. Channeling his creativity and attention to detail into hairdressing, Steve went on to become a highly sought-after stylist, working with high-profile clients, appearing on television and having his work featured in numerous magazines. Never one to be defined by a single career, Steve later reinvented himself as a journalist and columnist. His witty observations, strong opinions and insider knowledge of fashion, beauty and entertainment quickly made him a popular voice across newspapers and lifestyle publications. The interview is accompanied by five striking portraits of Steve, each created by a different artist, offering five distinctive interpretations of his personality, style and creative presence. Discover more about Steve’s remarkable life, creative career and many reinventions in the latest edition of The FLUX Review.

There is a particular kind of attention this exhib There is a particular kind of attention this exhibition demands, not the alert, forward-leaning attention of someone waiting to be told something, but the quieter, more uncertain attention of someone who has just realised the message may never arrive. Italian artist Carmela De Falco’s solo debut at DES BAINS Gallery this June 2026 and unfolds as a triptych of thresholds: the interior body, the passage between spaces, and the world outside. Each work occupies a station along this journey, and together they trace what remains of communication once its certainty has dissolved. The exhibition begins, quite literally, with the body, or rather, with its refusal to look. Looking presents two small casts of closed eyelids, taken from the artist’s mother, mounted directly onto the white gallery wall. The forms are startlingly intimate: smooth, pale, almost camouflaged against the wall, easy to walk past without noticing. Where a traditional mask cuts away the eyes to allow sight and project presence outward, these do the opposite. They seal. The eye is present but withheld; vision is implied and then denied. What does it mean to witness something with your eyes shut? The work suggests that certain kinds of knowing happen inward, in the dark, and that blindness is not always absence. Sometimes it is a form of protection, or of memory.

Now live on The Flux Review: our interview with Br Now live on The Flux Review: our interview with British-Filipino contemporary artist Rachel Le Roux. Rachel’s expressive figurative paintings explore the female form, identity and the shifting experience of becoming. Drawing inspiration from dance, fashion, photography and her experience of growing up between cultures, her work moves between vulnerability and strength, revealing the many versions of ourselves that emerge through change. In this thoughtful Q&A, Rachel discusses her creative process, the personal rituals that shape her studio practice, the influence of her British-Filipino heritage and the recurring figure of “she” who sits at the centre of her work. “All of the work asks the same question: What does it mean to be caught in the middle of becoming?” We are also delighted that Rachel will be exhibiting with FLUX Exhibition this September in London.

We are delighted to feature John Carpenter in The We are delighted to feature John Carpenter in The Flux Review and welcome him to FLUX Exhibition this September. Trained at the University of Westminster and the Royal College of Art, Carpenter creates bold abstract paintings shaped by geometry, scale, colour and a strong sculptural sensibility. His work moves between precision and instinct, drawing on forms found in nature, architecture and memory to create compositions that feel both considered and alive. His paintings often carry narrative through title, structure and emotional association, inviting viewers to find their own meanings within the work. From bespoke commissions for interiors, including a waterfront villa in Nice and a private yacht, to his forthcoming presentation at FLUX Exhibition in Marylebone from 3 to 6 September, Carpenter’s practice continues to explore abstraction as a language of form, feeling and spatial presence.

New Q&A live with interdisciplinary artist Jenette New Q&A live with interdisciplinary artist Jenette Coldrick Morrell. With a creative practice spanning more than five decades, Jenette Coldrick Morrell works across painting, pottery, printmaking, textiles and mixed media. Born in Cornwall in 1952, her early encounters with artists including Isobel Atterbury Heath and Peter Lanyon helped shape a lifelong commitment to creativity, experimentation and the expressive possibilities of making. Working from studios in Yorkshire and the Midlands, Jenette explores emotion, memory, heritage and the environment through a deeply personal and material-led practice. Her work examines the relationship between the mental and physical worlds, drawing on themes of memory, inherited narratives, boundaries and connection. Fibres, marks, textures and deliberate imperfections recur throughout her work, forming a visual language rooted in lived experience. In recent years, adapting her methods in response to spinal stenosis has led Jenette towards simpler, more immediate processes, bringing renewed clarity and distinctive energy to her work. In this interview for The Flux Review, Jenette reflects on her early artistic influences, the evolution of her interdisciplinary practice, and the enduring role of memory, materiality and experimentation within her work.

New Q&A live on The Flux Review with artist Neil E New Q&A live on The Flux Review with artist Neil Eckersley. A two-time Olympian and Olympic bronze medallist, Eckersley’s journey from elite judo to contemporary abstract art is one shaped by discipline, resilience and transformation. Working across acrylic, mixed media and digital forms, his practice sits between abstraction and representation, exploring energy, movement, memory and place. Layered cityscapes, fragmented structures and bold colour become visual records of lived experience, shaped by cities including New York, Los Angeles, Manchester and London. In this conversation, Eckersley reflects on the connection between Olympic values and creative practice, the influence of Yves Klein, and his current body of work around Los Angeles in the lead-up to LA28.

New Q&A live on The Flux Review with artist @cxt.a New Q&A live on The Flux Review with artist @cxt.art Claudia Tong’s practice moves between traditional and new media, bringing together painting, illustration, mixed media, computer graphics, digital art and music composition. Rooted in the human experience of ordinary moments, her work transforms familiar streets, stadiums, landscapes and everyday encounters into spaces of colour, imagination and symbolic energy. With a background in computer science and psychology, Tong approaches art through both intellectual structure and creative freedom. Across watercolour, ink, acrylic, collage and code-based digital works, she explores the meeting point between logic and emotion, reality and fantasy, precision and spontaneity. Shaped by her journey from China to Brown University and London, and influenced by science, philosophy, Taoism and ancient Chinese calligraphy, Tong’s work creates a dialogue between East and West, past and present, physical art and digital experimentation.

Rooted in material, texture and process, Studio 308’s practice moves across printmaking, mixed media, design and textiles, exploring identity, place and the emotional resonance of everyday environments. Based in London, Emma draws inspiration from the city’s layered histories, architecture, found surfaces and overlooked details. Through experimental processes, found objects and carefully built compositions, her work suggests memory, atmosphere and lived experience, inviting viewers to bring their own interpretations to the narratives held within urban spaces. Alongside her studio practice, Emma also works as an art and design educator, supporting young people in building creative confidence and personal expression.

New interview live on The FLUX Review with contemp New interview live on The FLUX Review with contemporary multimedia artist and photographer Nino Memanishvili. Memanishvili’s practice explores internal psychology, existential thresholds and the emotional charge of abandoned spaces. Through stark black-and-white contrasts, hard geometric lines and a deeply reflective visual language, her work moves beyond documentation to consider architecture as a site of absence, memory and psychological suspension. In her photographic series Abandoned, derelict and brutalist structures become more than forgotten buildings. They appear as physical expressions of isolation, disconnection and the passage of time, inviting the viewer into a space of reflection.

New interview live with textile artist @fumikasuri New interview live with textile artist @fumikasuri Fumika Tani is a Japanese textile artist and MA Textile Design candidate at Chelsea College of Arts, London, whose practice reimagines the endangered Japanese weaving tradition of Kasuri through British wool, natural dyes and materials drawn from her current life in the UK. Rooted in the philosophy of Mingei, Tani’s work bridges cultures, landscapes and material histories, exploring how craft traditions can remain alive within contemporary life. Before relocating to London, she worked within Kyoto’s traditional textile industry, where she witnessed both the richness of inherited craft knowledge and the fragility of its transmission. Working with food waste, everyday remnants and plants such as woad and weld, Tani transforms overlooked materials into subtle, layered textiles of memory and renewal. Through her ongoing series TSUGI, she reflects on connection, inheritance and continuity, proposing that tradition survives not through replication, but through adaptation, relevance and continued use.

What Blooms Beneath by London-based artist and arc What Blooms Beneath by London-based artist and architect Hanna Benihoud transforms Borough Yards into a trail of sculptural blooms, winding through the neighbourhood’s historic arches, brickwork and hidden corners. Inspired by fungi, underground growth and the quiet life that takes place before spring fully arrives, the installation invites visitors to slow down, look around and follow what appears to be growing from the architecture itself. Made from crin, a translucent weatherproof fabric more commonly used in millinery, the works shift from soft cream to pink and deep burgundy, bringing a delicate, organic presence to one of London Bridge’s most atmospheric spaces. https://www.thefluxreview.com/what-blooms-beneath-at-borough-yards/ Supported by MTArt Agency and Borough Yards, What Blooms Beneath is on view at Borough Yards, London, from 6 May to July 2026. @hanna_benihoud_studio @boroughyards @mtartagency #HannaBenihoud #WhatBloomsBeneath #BoroughYards #MTArtAgency #TheFluxReview #LondonArt #PublicArt #ContemporaryArt #ArtInstallation #Sculpture #LondonBridge #WomenInArt #SiteSpecificArt
Lorraine Cleary’s interdisciplinary practice moves Lorraine Cleary’s interdisciplinary practice moves between sculpture, assemblage, textiles, embroidery, drawing and installation to examine gendered violence, trauma and the politics of visibility. Reclaiming traditional craft and the domestic sphere as tools of resistance and storytelling, Cleary creates tactile narratives of endurance, remembrance and defiance. Her work investigates how women have been constructed, mythologised, silenced and controlled within cultural memory, folklore and contemporary society, while positioning women as autonomous agents within systems that have sought to contain them. Through labour-intensive processes of stitching, reconstruction and installation, Cleary gives form to stories often pushed to the margins, transforming material, memory and lived experience into acts of reclamation.

Artist Lara Gallagher’s practice explores the body Artist Lara Gallagher’s practice explores the body as a threshold between anatomy, memory and the unseen. Working primarily in graphite, Gallagher creates layered drawings in which the figure is formed, disrupted and reconfigured, resisting any fixed or singular definition. Her work moves between anatomical reference and abstraction, drawing on biology, psychology, spirituality, theology and pagan traditions to consider what lies beneath, beyond and within the body. Through processes of superimposition, erasure and accumulation, her figures multiply, fragment and dissolve, occupying shifting states of presence and absence. Some appear held within constraining structures, while others expand into rhythmic, hypnotic fields. Across the work, the body becomes a site of transition, where the boundaries between inner and outer, self and other, physical and intangible begin to blur.

New interview now live on The Flux Review. Lady V New interview now live on The Flux Review. Lady Vinogorodska’s practice moves between painting, philosophy, psychology and symbolic inquiry, approaching the canvas as a space where emotion becomes structure. Through her self-defined methodology, Architectonics of Emotions, she creates works that explore inner perception, metaphysical symbolism and the hidden architecture of feeling. Drawing on layered painting, surrealist language and art historical reference, her work invites the viewer into a space where consciousness, memory and transformation take visual form. In conversation with The Flux Review, Vinogorodska reflects on the foundations of her practice, the role of emotion as structure, and her ambition to create spaces where the viewer can encounter their own inner voice.

Sarah Muirhead’s work moves between precision and instability, drawing the figure into spaces of memory, symbolism and psychological charge. In conversation with Anna McNay for The Flux Review, the Scottish artist reflects on the path that led her from Edinburgh College of Art to a practice shaped by portraiture, drawing, art history, tattooing and the body’s shifting relationship to lived experience. A powerful conversation on image, identity and the emotional charge of the human form. #TheFluxReview #FluxReview #SarahMuirhead #AnnaMcNay #ContemporaryArt #ScottishArtist #FigurativeArt #Portraiture #ArtInterview #ArtMagazine #ContemporaryPainting #Drawing #ArtistInterview #WomenInArt #ArtPublication #Edition14
