30 years of paintings that capture the overlooked motifs of contemporary life.
Gainsborough's House presents an exhibition of Humphrey Ocean’s paintings and drawings spanning three decades, reflecting on the seemingly ordinary details that shape our modern surroundings. Ocean’s work focuses on the familiar yet often overlooked motifs of contemporary life – horizontal windows, road signs, cars, bungalows, concrete structures – capturing both the designed and the accidental elements of the spaces we inhabit.
Home brings together past works alongside new pieces created as Ocean continues his engagement with the built environment, offering a vivid meditation on how human presence, activity, and imagination leave their mark on the world around us.
