UPCOMING | Landing, with a Capital L by Kate Burling | PV: 26 Nov, 6-9pm
Miłość is excited to present Kate Burling’s solo exhibition ‘Landing, with a Capital L’, a new body of work merging painting with drawing, installation and diary entries. While anticipating Landings, Kate illustrates her interior life; her suspended, repetitive, sensory fascinations pulsate, sag, hover, simmer and liquify.
Her work forms a surreal lexicon of her visceral motifs – throbbing cherries produce tension with colourful abacus beads, butterfly-like confetti that feels like a mouth breathing on your skin, tangled propellers that can no longer move as fast, wrinkled folded wings decorated with ribbons drooping with embarrassment. They are vivid familiarities, deprived of line and detailed explanations, but effervescent, porous and tactile.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT | Kate Burling
Kate Burling (b. 1998, Reading) lives and works in South East London. Her iridescent finger-paintings examine a corporeal experience of exponential change. Marking the inside and outside of the skin as initial zones of softness and hardness respectively, Burling observes a gradual obscuring of boundaries as the sponge-like body ages and absorbs. Her paintings are amalgamations of rolling mass with repeated motifs, scattered like confetti. They are places of rumination, where the artist attempts to catch elusive ideas and map them in soft, organic space.
Since completing her BA in Fine Art at Camberwell College in 2022, Burling has presented two solo shows with Nosbaum Reding (Brussels) and Ronchini Gallery (London), as well as taking part in a number of group exhibitions at Christie’s, Guts Gallery, Soup Gallery, General Assembly, Milosc Gallery and Milan Art Fair, and residencies at Goodeye Projects, Pictorum Gallery, Conditions Studio Programme (all London) and Fondazione Sandro Moretti (Umbria).

BOOKSHOP SPOTLIGHT
Fąfel
Gosia Kołdraszewska & Julia Grygiel
FĄFEL is a story of two sunflowers, the dialogue between them becomes the focal point of the story. It is an experiment, an attempt to bridge a visual narrative of Gosia Kołdraszewska with the poetry of Julia Grygiel — two languages and styles of expression.
The name FĄFEL is an expression of lightness and softness which the authors want the publication to bring. Intending FĄFEL to be treated as an object-book rather than a zine, while choosing the materials, they focused on the feeling of quality and, primarily, softness.
