Refuge and Meanings

A conversation between two painters, Julie Held LG and Rachel Mercer. 4 – 21 September 2025.

Julie Held ‘Heat-The Pond’, 183x 122cm

Through painting and drawing both artists explore gardens and shopping centres, these subjects reflect two of the many facets of London living. They are places where people seek refuge and pleasure, both hold promises of the future. Gardens reflect the cycle of life and shopping malls allow one to project our wishes and desires and provided another place of mystery pleasure and delight. Julie Held probes the threshold between our inner and outer world. While Rachel Mercer is motivated by the action and movement of figures through space. Both artists bring these subjects to life through lively colour and brushwork.
