About
The Simple Things is Bunt’s most brilliantly conceived exhibition to date. It focuses on life’s purest pleasures, including friendship, physical affection, gardening, fishing, and even the sweet sensation of being tucked up at home when it’s raining outside. Each of the show’s ten sections contains one large, virtuosic canvas depicting the inside of a house looking out through a window, and a group of smaller, related, pictures looking back.
Each painting has a poem on the reverse of the canvas.
Where Flowers Grow
Oil on canvas
40 x 48 inches
In a room with a view, it could be me or you
Together or maybe alone
Felling good, bad, happy or sad
Sitting in a room of one’s own
Life is much like a book, inside we must look
Each chapter leading us to the end
As the story is told, our journey unfolds
We meet lovers, villains, and friends
From day to day, we must listen and pray
Be grateful for each God-given breath
Read a line at a time as one day we will find
We only have one page left
That’s when the robin shall sing, the church bells will ring
Pull the sally on the end of the rope
And the gardener will know, as he weeds and he hoes
Where flowers grow there will always be hope
About
Beyond the Gaze – Reclaiming the Landscape demonstrates the increasing interest in landscape painting within contemporary art. Historically, the genre was predominantly the domain of male painters. When women were present, they appeared as subjects within landscapes, often as workers, mythical figures, muses or nudes.
In contrast, this exhibition subverts the traditional tendencies of historical landscape painting and concentrates on contemporary women artists who work with full agency to define the worldview from their own perspective. From miniature to monumental painting, each artist approaches the subject distinctively, and in combination explores landscape as an arena for human endeavour; nature as memento mori; the imaginary; the ritualistic; and the archaic.
Featured artists include: Emma Bennett, Kiera Bennett, Kirsty Harris, Dannielle Hodson, Lisa Ivory, Melissa Kime, Joanna Whittle
Curated by Zavier Ellis
Zavier Ellis commented:
“I’m delighted to curate Beyond the Gaze – Reclaiming the Landscape at Saatchi Gallery in London. The gallery has always been at the forefront of progressive contemporary art and it’s exciting to present one of the most traditional genres with a new perspective.”

About
Maria Prymachenko grew up in Polissya, a picturesque region near Kyiv. With no formal artistic training, she took inspiration from nature. Regardless of floods or droughts, she continued to work amidst adversity, and was fortified by an inner light.
Maria Prymachenko spent almost her entire life in her native village, rarely venturing far away. But in her imagination, she created a universe that audiences can continue to explore and delight in today. Since the destruction by Russian forces of a local museum housing Prymachenko’s works, it has only been possible to see the artist’s paintings through exhibitions such as this.
During times of war, Prymachenko’s art became a source of strength for Ukrainians. It reminds them of their own power, their incredible past, and what the future could hold.
ABOUT THE PRYMACHENKO FAMILY FOUNDATION
The Prymachenko Family Foundation was established by the artist’s family and friends. It is focused on sharing the artwork, and the spirit, of Maria Prymachenko across the world. The Foundation conducts research into Maria Prymachenko and works to preserve her artwork, as well as providing copyright protection for the artist. The Foundation is currently working to create a catalogue raissoné. Currently, the main goal of the Foundation is to open the Maria Prymachenko Museum Complex in the artist’s native village in Bolotnya, Kyiv region. The complex will contain a museum, as well as providing a space for inspiration and creation for contemporary artists.
Natalia Gnatiuk, partner of the Prymachenko Family Foundation and co-curator: “We are working hard to create a museum complex on the premises of the house where Maria Prymachenko lived. It will include a museum section where her artworks and personal belongings will be exhibited, as well as a residency for contemporary artists. They will have the opportunity to stay there for a certain period, drawing inspiration from this atmosphere and embodying their own creative ideas. It will be a place of strength, capable of welcoming guests from around the world after Ukraine’s victory.”
