Metamorphosis
Exhibition | Until 15 November | Marie Jose Gallery |16 Victoria Grove, London W8 5RW, UK
Marking the 4th anniversary of the gallery, Metamorphosis brings together the work of Charles Khoury and Tim Ellis to reflect on the transformative power of art, material, and memory. The exhibition underscores not only the evolution of these two artists, but also the trajectory of the gallery itself, which has grown through long-standing relationships with both practices.
Placed in dialogue, Khoury and Ellis stage two distinct yet complementary approaches to metamorphosis. Khoury channels the residues of conflict into an evasive, emotive world of figures and creatures, guided by instinct and heart. Ellis filters material culture through an art-historical lens, subjecting it to processes of wear and transformation that speak to collective memory. Both artists share a commitment to elevating humble materials: jute and cotton pillowcases, into artworks that shift between states, alive with symbolism and presence.
Metamorphosis is currently on view at Marie Jose Gallery, 16 Victoria Grove, London W8 5RW – until 15 November 2025- open from Tuesday through Saturday (10am – 5pm)
