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

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

by Lisa | 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

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.

K:art and ArtCan's June exhibition, ρ ≠ 0, brought K:art and ArtCan's June exhibition, ρ ≠ 0, brought together artists working across painting, sculpture, moving image, sound and installation to consider density, resistance and embodied experience in an increasingly frictionless world.

Curated by Yuange Sheng in collaboration with ArtCan, the exhibition moved between external systems of history, religion, trade and material value, and more internalised experiences of memory, vulnerability, perception and psychological pressure.

Designer and ceramic artist Wei Keong Tan explores the complex relationship between human control and the natural world. Born in Singapore and now based in Gloucestershire, Wei Keong’s practice brings together product design, architectural lighting and fine art ceramics to consider the tension between the cultivated and the untamed.

In the interview, he discusses his route into ceramics, the influence of nature, manga, science and climate culture, and his current project, Genetically Engineered Pots, a speculative body of work using ceramic forms to question our desire to reshape the natural world.

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 interview live on The Flux Review with contemp New interview live on The Flux Review with contemporary artist @nealscrase.

Self-taught and painting for most of his life, Neal Scrase creates surreal, imaginative works that move beyond direct representation, giving form to dreams, inner visions and narrative worlds. Working primarily in oils on canvas, linen and paper, his practice explores colour, symbolism and storytelling as a way of revealing what exists beyond the immediately visible.

In the interview, Neal discusses his creative process, the influence of Dalí, Escher and Man Ray, and his current City Portraits series, where urban street plans and human faces merge into layered portraits of place and identity.

We are also delighted to announce that Neal Scrase will be joining us this September for FLUX Exhibition 2026 at The Bomb Factory Art Foundation, Marylebone.

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. This connection between making, teaching and material discovery gives her work a thoughtful balance of structure, intuition and storytelling.

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.

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.

We are delighted to announce our interview with ar We are delighted to announce our interview with artist Abigail Humphries, now live on The FLUX Review.

Working with sand and acrylic, Abigail creates richly textured, large-scale paintings that sit between painting and sculpture. Her featureless figures emerge from tactile, geological surfaces, inviting reflection on memory, impermanence, emotional connection and the shared human need for compassion.

Rooted in a deeply physical and intuitive process, her work transforms feeling into form, creating quiet, meditative spaces where viewers are invited to pause, look closely and bring their own experiences to the image.

We are also thrilled to announce that Abigail will be exhibiting with FLUX Exhibition this September in London.

Based in Rome, Rasile’s work moves between philosophy, vibration and imagination, creating luminous painted worlds where colour, movement and emotion dissolve into one another. Drawing from both classical Italian influences and contemporary abstraction, her paintings explore the invisible energies that connect nature, time and human experience.

In the interview, she discusses her creative process, the role of rhythm and spirituality within her practice, and her latest project, Where the Sound Falls, which introduces metallic inlay techniques inspired by ancient Italian traditions.

We speak with artist Delphine Dénéréaz about weaving, public installation, ecology and her large-scale work Dandelions Always Return, presented in King’s Cross for Earth Day 2026.

Working at the intersection of textile, sculpture and architecture, Dénéréaz transforms ancestral weaving techniques into immersive environments that explore memory, resilience, reuse and the relationship between nature and urban space.

From recycled fabrics and medieval lirette weaving to monumental floral structures and woven houses, this is a practice that repositions textiles as both political and deeply human.

We are delighted to share our latest conversation with Polish artist Magdalena Szata, whose monochromatic works exist between abstraction, surrealism and symbolic image-making. Through intricate linocuts, pen-and-ink drawings and analogue photography, Szata creates meditative visual worlds that explore memory, transformation, intuition and the unseen emotional landscapes that shape human experience.

In this interview, we discuss process, symbolism, nature, ritual, repetition, and her ongoing project SELVA, a body of work that examines abundance, contradiction and the quiet complexity of the inner world.

There is a remarkable stillness and psychological depth within Szata’s practice that continues to linger long after viewing the work.

Some artists paint images. Aiyla Beau paints instinct, tension, atmosphere and psychological release.

We are beyond excited to share this powerful conversation with the artist behind HAUS of BEAU, whose large-scale abstract works carry an intensity that feels both deeply personal and universally human. Raw yet controlled, chaotic yet intentional, Beau’s paintings emerge through intuition, physicality and emotional confrontation, creating works that demand to be felt as much as viewed.

In this interview, we discuss abstraction, process, scale, memory, emotion, obsession, and the strange conversation that unfolds between artist and canvas during the act of making.

This is an artist operating entirely on instinct, and the results are incredible.

Sean BW Parker’s practice moves between instinct a Sean BW Parker’s practice moves between instinct and critique, shaped as much by formal training as by a conscious departure from it. After completing an MA in Fine Art at the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham, his work has evolved through a self-directed approach that prioritises intuition over instruction.

Beginning with only the loosest of ideas, Parker allows meaning to emerge through the act of making. His paintings draw on media narratives and cultural figures, reworking them into layered compositions that remain open, resisting fixed interpretation and inviting the viewer to find their own reading.

Working from a studio on the West Sussex coast, his process balances constraint with freedom, building works over time through material exploration and instinctive decision-making. With new exhibitions and projects underway, including Magnolia Graffiti, his practice continues to question the boundaries of commercial creativity.

Working across drawing and print, Obaid’s practice is grounded in material, process and an intuitive way of making. Influenced by Sufi philosophy and traditional miniature painting, her work unfolds through repetition and gesture, where each mark becomes part of a wider, evolving dialogue.

Themes of motherhood, spirituality and the feminine run throughout, holding a delicate balance between tenderness and strength. Her current body of work explores the Divine Feminine as both an embodied and ecological force, drawing connections between maternal experience and the intelligence of the natural world.

Introducing Miguel Sopena on The Flux Review. Wor Introducing Miguel Sopena on The Flux Review.

Working from a background in science before moving into atelier-trained portraiture, Sopena’s practice has evolved into a material-led approach to abstraction. His work is driven by the physicality of paint, where layers of colour, texture and gesture gradually build into compositions that balance structure with intuition.

Although fully abstract, each piece often begins with a narrative or symbolic reference, from memory and mythology to imagined figures, allowing emotion and atmosphere to emerge through process rather than fixed intent.

Based at Turf Projects in South London, his work carries a subtle Mediterranean sensibility, shaped by light, rhythm and place.

Working across photography, video, installation, and writing, Hayat creates deeply atmospheric works that explore memory, identity, displacement, and the emotional architecture of place. Now based in Dubai, with roots in Beirut, her practice reflects on the quiet tensions between personal experience and collective structures, where stillness, language, and visual poetry become powerful forms of inquiry.

Her work moves through fragility and ambiguity, holding space for what cannot always be easily explained. Through image and text, she invites us to slow down, to pay attention, and to remain close to what lingers beneath the surface.

In our latest interview, we speak with Hayat about atmosphere as meaning, vulnerability in art, shifting geographies, and the responsibility of the artist in a world saturated with imagery.

From large-scale installations made with recycled plastic bags to her evolving project, The Interactive Poems, Piripippi’s practice moves between performance, poetry, spirituality, and social engagement.

Geometry, memory, and emotion converge in the work Geometry, memory, and emotion converge in the work of Dasha Wesel, a Philadelphia-based visual artist whose practice transforms technical precision into deeply personal visual narratives.

Born in Belarus and shaped by both engineering and loss, Wesel creates bold, geometry-driven compositions that explore identity, human connection, and the architecture of feeling. Through drawing and serial composition, each work begins with structure and evolves into a space where colour, form, and memory intersect.

In this interview for The Flux Review, we speak with Dasha about the relationship between logic and emotion, how personal history informs her conceptual process, and the ways in which art can turn structure into reflection.

In this latest interview, Victoria Plotnikova reflects on a practice shaped by lived experience, where personal testimony and collective memory converge through a powerful visual language. Working across linocut and colour monotype, her compositions explore the psychological impact of war, displacement and the fragility of identity.

Through fragmented forms and symbolic narratives, Plotnikova creates work that does not simply depict, but translates experience, inviting a deeper emotional and human response. At the core of her practice is a commitment to bearing witness, opening space for reflection on resilience, trauma and the broader realities that continue to shape our world.

A practice shaped by instinct, discipline and a li A practice shaped by instinct, discipline and a lifelong dialogue with painting.

In our latest interview, Zheni Warner reflects on a journey that began in Bulgaria under the guidance of her mother, painter Violeta Maslarova, and evolved into a deeply personal, materially rich practice in the UK. Her work moves between abstraction and form, where every mark is considered, yet led by an intuitive exchange between artist and canvas.

From luminous glazes to layered surfaces, Warner’s paintings hold a quiet intensity, often absorbing the weight of contemporary realities. Her current series, The Disasters of War, draws on the enduring legacy of conflict, translating it into works that are not about narrative, but about something more lasting – the moral resonance that remains.

This is a conversation that moves through influence, process and the subtle balance between control and surrender in painting.

Born in Nigeria and now based in the UK, Ejiga creates layered mixed media portraits that explore how race, culture and environment shape the self. Drawing on ideas of double consciousness, code-switching and intersectionality, his work reflects the tension between how we see ourselves and how we are seen.

From Seamless to Afro-Baroque and his ongoing Double Consciousness series, his practice continues to evolve—both visually and conceptually—offering a powerful and nuanced exploration of duality and belonging.
