Miniature women dance across their own canvases, their naked bodies exploring the lush surroundings promoting sensuality and the experience of touch.

DAMIEN CIFELLI
'TAROGRAMMA'
1st - 30th October 2022
Liminal Gallery, 34 Fort Hill, Margate, CT9 1HD
Liminal Gallery is delighted to announce the opening of a permanent gallery space in Margate. The debut exhibition will be ‘Tarogramma’ with London-based, Scottish artist Damien Cifelli. Cifelli’s work explores the fictional realm of Tarogramma; a civilisation which in parts is comfortingly familiar yet wildly bizarre in their peculiarities. The canvases feature tight, flat realism combined with a daringly bold palette while referencing historical paintings, sculptures and museum artefacts. Cifelli approaches his work as a traveller, or archaeologist, piecing together recounts, relics and memorabilia to present an overall sense of the mythical world which could be an afterlife, an alien civilisation, a parallel world disrupted by the flutter of a butterfly's wing, a dream, or completely fictitious.

Liminal Gallery is delighted to present ‘The Pleasures We Feel’ an online solo exhibition by Olivia Strange. Witch-like talons, breasts, tentacles and oysters intermingle in Strange’s multi-disciplinary works, celebrating the physicality of touch and engaging new dialogues around queer sensuality and sexuality. They hinge on a sense of intimacy and desire, the deliciously edible and the grotesque.
'MATRESCENCE'

JENNIFER NIEUWLAND & ALEXIS SOUL-GRAY
5th - 27th November 2022

The term ‘Matrescence’ is the physical, emotional, psychological, hormonal and social transition to becoming a mother.

OVERSIZED SWORDS, CHAINS AND GLOVES
LINDSEY JEAN MCLEAN
3rd - 22nd December 2022
Liminal Gallery, 34 Fort Hill, Margate, CT9 1HD
Fleshy naked bodies juxtaposed against cool malleable textures, ask to what end will the pursuit of pleasure take; with the sting of passion or the emptiness of a glove? ‘Oversized Swords, Chains and Gloves’ features a new body of work and is a window into the recurring themes that provoke and inform Lindsey Jean McLean’s practice.

DANCING IN THE DARK
ALEXIS SOUL-GRAY
7 - 29 January 2023
Liminal Gallery, 34 Fort Hill, Margate, CT9 1HD
Liminal Gallery is delighted to announce ‘Dancing in the Dark’ a solo exhibition by Alexis Soul-Gray. This new body of paintings by the Devon-based artist focuses on a children's party, devoid of parents, the children take on the burden of life amongst celebration, in all its beauty and sorrow. The figures Soul-Gray creates dissolve into dreamlike abstraction, overrun with vivid colour and this instability of surface blurs distinctions between figure, feeling, fantasy and reality.
TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS
INGRID BERTHON-MOINE, FLORA BRADWELL
& DAMIEN FLOOD
4 - 23 February 2023
Liminal Gallery, 34 Fort Hill, Margate, CT9 1HD
Tender moments, tender flesh, tender touch, tender thoughts, tender heart, tender mind; try a little tenderness.
A tender moment is encapsulated in an act of thoughtfulness; a cup of tea at the end of the day, a gift of flowers, a display of love. Tenderness is to give up one's time, attention, precious moments devoted to another. Tenderness is also pain, a moment of fragility, of weakness. It evokes skin which expands, shrinks, multiplies, and shivers to the touch. Skin which is a dying organism, for surely that is what we all are. A tender morsel of meat, deliciously melts in the mouth.
Exploring these themes in contrasting ways ‘Try a little Tenderness’ brings together the works of three artists whose practice is unified in the attempt to capture these fleeting moments.
LENA BRAZIN
'TIME LOOPS'
DAVID SHILLINGLAW
'EVERYTHING CONNECTED'

ALEXIS SOUL-GRAY
'NO PLACE LIKE HOME'
19th October - 9th November 2021
3 Works for 3 Weeks Series
‘No Place Like Home’ is an online solo exhibition by Alexis Soul-Gray featuring 3 new original works, spanning the breadth of the artists current mediums of choice; collage, drawing, printmaking and painting. The works continue the artists exploration of grief, loss, memory, nostalgia and the family unit within a harmonious balance of abstraction and figuration.
Using scenes of domesticity from wide ranging sources such as knitting patterns and vintage ephemera, the artist questions notions of motherhood and home. Yet her works are warm, reclaiming the lost characters, releasing them into a new contemporary future. These figures appear softly, tarnished with the decay of passing time, both nostalgic and raw.
‘No Place Like Home’ runs on our website from 19th October-9th November 2021.
4th - 25th January 2022
3 Works for 3 Weeks Series
Liminal Gallery is delighted to present ‘Flower Paintings’ an online solo exhibition by Damien Flood. As the title aptly suggests, the exhibition will feature a series of three flower paintings, however Flood’s paintings are never quite so simple. Flitting between figuration and abstraction, done and undone, the comprehensible and the unreadable, the painterly mark-making dances across the canvas’ leading the viewer onto a contemporary reinterpretation of a traditional subject.
‘No Place Like Home’ runs on our website from 4th - 25th January 2022.

GROUP EXHIBITION
'INSTRUCTIONS FOR WAITING'
Liminal Gallery is delighted to present their debut exhibition ‘Instructions For Waiting’ curated by Louise Fitzjohn.
2020 was the year we all waited. In a rare moment, the world stood still and life as we knew it was paused. As we continue to wait, Liminal Gallery asked artists to provide their Instructions For Waiting, instructions scribbled on a Post-It Note which viewers are encouraged to practice at their own leisure. These Instructions may be positive affirmations, a call to action, an activity; the exhibition aims to ease your pain in waiting and, at the very least, to pass some time before the wait finally comes to an end.
