Last chance to see Sung Jik Yang’s solo exhibition ‘Still Here’, open alongside Dido Hallett’s solo exhibition ‘Rumble’. Closing on Saturday, 2nd May.

Sim Smith is open on Thursday and Friday from 10am to 4pm and Saturday from 11am to 5pm.

“I am drawn to states of imperfection and unguardedness rather than idealized representation. Natural hair, faces at rest, fading gardens, and soil marked by trial-and-error resist polish or spectacle. In these conditions, painting becomes a way of remaining with fragility without exaggeration”.

In ‘Still Here’, still lives operate not as secondary genres but as parallel acts of portraiture. Arrangements and entangles of garden flowers, cut flowers in vases, flowers and fragments from the studio, are approached with the same attentiveness Yang grants his sitters. These works do not symbolise absence or stand in metaphorically for human subjects; rather, they register proximity, duration, and care. A bouquet slightly past bloom, a potted plant bearing the trace of touch, or a brush and rag quietly evidencing the everyday life of the studio becomes a record of presence—of someone having been there. In this way, the still lives function as indirect portraits: intimate reflections of relationships, environments, and emotional states that surround and sustain the people depicted.
