Read-Only Memory (ROM) brings together new and recent work by artists Amelia Bowles (b. 1993, London) and Caroline de Lannoy (b. 1962, Brussels).

Referencing technological, societal, aesthetic and conceptual developments of the latter part of the 20th century, the exhibition is centred around a hard-coded timeless language shared by the two artists across painting and sculpture.

Join the artists and the curator of the show, gallery director Alkistis Koukouliou, in an informal conversation with art historian Sophie Lachowsky to learn more about the artists' practice and inspiration and how abstraction, and the use of the line, colour and negative space, may act act as a gateway to transportative encounters.

The gallery is open from 12 noon and the talk will start at 12:30. There will be refreshments.

<ABOUT>

Sophie Lachowsky is an art historian with experience in the culture and heritage sectors. She lectures at leading cultural institutions and gives bespoke guided tours of major collections and sculpture trails. She writes and lectures on modern and contemporary art, with a focus on women artists. She is a trustee of The Showroom, a non-profit contemporary art space in London.

Amelia Bowles (b. 1993, London) is an artist living and working between London and Paris.

Her work sits between sculpture, painting and architecture; making use of the activity of light, colour and form, she claims the void and what is immaterial to facilitate the conditions for a series of physiological, cognitive and perceptual encounters.  Drawing from the language of diagrams, architecture and engineering, she constructs three dimensional frameworks that produce their own activity similar to that found in nature. Each piece is composed of multiple elements, materials and surfaces that can be explored from multiple viewpoints constructing a multi-layered sensory and contemplative experience.

She studied at City and Guilds of London Art School (MA Fine Art, 2023), Bath Spa School of Art and Design (BA (Hons) in Fine Art Painting, 2016) and the Florence Academy (2013).


Caroline de Lannoy (b. 1962, Brussels, Belgium) is an artist living and working in London.

She works across painting, drawing, text, sound and video, exploring time, space and perception through a language of abstraction. Throughout her practice, she investigates cultural, social and existential issues and the subsequent acts of recollection. Her series of paintings combines a sensory-affective field of interplay between lines, shapes, colours, punctuation marks and textual elements with a conceptual approach that questions the everyday experiences. She creates compositions that draw upon the spectrum of sensory perception and feelings, and highlight the conversation between the visible and the invisible.

She is a graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art (1993), Central Saint Martins (1991) and the Athens School of Fine Arts (1988).
