“Ever Emerging Mag is a non-profit platform that presents senior femxle artists, who work in any type of medium. Ever Emerging, is born out of the desire to support women in the contemporary art industry, as well as the idea that emergence is an ever- evolving concept, that is not always related to age or (measurable) youthfulness”.

The wait is over… this week @torncontemporary launched. Many thanks to the brave and patient founder @katherinesheers for persevering with all things CV-19, and continuing to look out for all of us involved artists .

TORN Contemporary specialising in works of art on paper – OPEN!


”Happy Friday! And another ten trees going in the ground thanks to this SOLD artwork 'Discarded Landscape II' by TORN artist @alexroberts975. ⁠⁠

Using economical marks to create a tangible sense of identity, I love the way Alex has allowed the crumpled nature of the recycled packaging it's painted on, to disrupt the subject matter.⁠⁠

But shhhh...this piece is destined to be a surprise gift. If you'd like to purchase artwork from TORN as a present, just let us know and the artist will happily include a personal note to the lucky recipient”.⁠⁠
