Shaan Bevan and Owen Pratt collaborate on a multidisciplinary practice that explores the interconnectedness of the human body, natural systems, and sensory experience. Their work investigates themes of illness, healing, and transformation, reflecting both personal and collective encounters with the body and environment. Bevan contributes intricate drawings and installations that examine the fragility, resilience, and materiality of the body, often drawing parallels between human anatomy and natural or geological processes. Pratt complements this with immersive sound installations, crafting resonant auditory experiences that respond to space, memory, and environmental context. Together, their practice blurs the boundaries between the organic and inorganic, the living and non-living. By integrating visual and auditory elements, they create immersive environments that encourage viewers to contemplate the relationships between body, landscape, and perception, highlighting the interconnectedness of life and the transformations inherent in both human and ecological systems. ...
Founded by Lucas Giles and Will Hainsworth in 2024, Palmer Gallery is a space
dedicated to identifying and developing the strongest emerging artistic talent of
today. The gallery is situated in London’s Lisson Grove, in a 1000 ft2 former-factory
built in the 1920’s by the Palmer Tyre Company, who produced parts for the Spitfire,
Hurricane and Lancaster Bombers during The Second World War.
The gallery programme focuses on cross-disciplinary artists working across painting,
sculpture, video, performance, light and sound installation, creating an immersive
exhibition space. This multi-sensory approach embraces a holistic view of contemporary
art while championing an institutional dedication to framing and contextualising
complex artistic practices. Palmer Gallery’s core mission is to allow artists to
express themselves and thrive in an open, supportive and experimental environment;
fostering a culture of creative freedom and connection among the gallery’s artists and
the wider community. ...
