Now showing: Known Unknowns and Unknown Unknowns by Peter Westwood.

In this new exhibition, Westwood explores the shifting terrain between certainty and ambiguity through a series of paintings and editioned screenprints. Drawing on the language of risk and uncertainty, the works invite viewers to engage with abstraction as a space for reflection, interpretation, and open-ended experience.

A thoughtful exhibition that considers not only the complexities of the contemporary world, but also the uncertain nature of being human.

EXHIBITION DATES: 01 JULY - 25 JULY 2026
OPENING RECEPTION: SATURDAY 4 JULY
TIME: 3 PM - 5 PM

BP: How important is memory within your practice?

JP: Very important. My own memory holds me prisoner at times. I wish I could forget certain things, but I can’t, so instead I use the memories in the work, but not literally, more as prompts for problems. For example, I remember being told as child that I did not look like anyone else in my family, so that memory which is on one level very slight and another level very painful, can be used to contemplate shapes and how they correspond with each other. Does this shape look like it fits in?

BP: What did you learn from these paintings that surprised you?

Always the paintings themselves surprise me. How the colours and forms and textures bump up against each other is a constant surprise -cs sometimes it’s quite shocking actually.
