I’m thrilled about the upcoming launch of Palmer Gallery in London in March. Founded by art advisor Will Hainsworth and art historian Lucas Giles, the gallery is situated near Marylebone in an old factory building (close to Lisson Gallery), and the space was once operated by the Palmer Tyre Company during World War II. Palmer Gallery will focus its program on cross-disciplinary art, and promises to be an intriguing space.
I’m particularly eager to explore its opening exhibition, featuring the incredible work of Canadian artist Jennifer Carvalho. Her remarkable paintings left a lasting impression on me at Frieze London in 2022, where her booth with Helena Anrather Gallery sold out. The artist had a solo show with the gallery last year, and the upcoming show at Palmer marks her first exhibition in London since appearing at Frieze. I can’t wait to experience it in this new and exciting space.
