Interior/Exterior

Futures Gallery
Thursday 6 November – Saturday 29 November

FUTURES is pleased to present Interior/Exterior an exhibition comprising new paintings by Matilda Davis, Mark Merrikin and Caroline Walls whose works explore states of inward reverie and transcendence.

Arranged as a series of parts devoted to each artist, the exhibition begins with Merrikin’s suburban nightscapes, leading on to Walls' quiet and expansive domestic interiors and concluding with Davis’ surreal inventions drawn from the subconscious. Fabric, the barrier between the world and our bodies, also appears in each artist's work - whether stretched as canvas or rendered as motif - enhancing their agendas and poetics.

Matilda Davis creates oil paintings imbued with peculiar characters, latent narratives and cosmological reckonings. Observations of science, art history, nature and objects create molten imagery that forms psychological landscapes in episodic sections. Her focus is both micro and macro. Mise en scenes are painstakingly rendered and placed in fantastical landscapes that pulse with connection to the universe and the self.

Mark Merrikin’s paintings utilise materials such as wood, fabrics and acrylic paint to evoke the improvisational textures of suburban life. His scenes—a figure sleeping, moonlit parks —draw on the sensibility of post-impressionists yet remain firmly grounded in the contemporary moment. Through layered surfaces and shifting frames, Merrikin’s paintings create a world where memory, pattern and emotion blend into one textured field of experience.

Caroline Walls’ paintings hover between figuration and abstraction, using transluscent, pared-back tones and draped fabrics to create an atmosphere of stillness and restraint. Her compositions often depict feminine silhouettes that capture both the ordinariness and extraordinariness of the everyday experience. Themes of intimacy, desire, queerness and the quiet complexities of womanhood run beneath the surface.
