SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Ludmilla Radchenko: Wings of Power
DESCRIPTION:Works resulting from a year of profound transformation initiated by the artist’s journey to Nepal\, “where inner awareness and self-observation became central to her practice”. Radchenko’s visual language combines painting\, collage\, symbolism\, and layered cultural references\, creating compositions that are bold\, ironic\, and emotionally charged. Recurring animal figures embody the Seven Deadly Sins — not as moral judgment\, but as raw human forces: instinct\, desire\, fear\, excess\, anger\, pride\, and inertia. Opposing them are the Wings\, symbols of awareness\, elevation\, and transformation.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Juliet Makhlouf: Admiring Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:More than 30 new paintings\, offering a comprehensive survey of the artist’s recent work. This show approaches ancestry as a living presence rather than a distant past\, reflecting on civilizations whose surviving traces – clay tablets\, systems of law and trade\, and foundational narratives such as the Epic of Gilgamesh – continue to shape collective human memory. The story of Syria is presented as inseparable from that of the wider Arab world\, formed through centuries of shared history\, values\, and belief.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Hussain Jamil: Refracted Life
DESCRIPTION:In this exhibition\, Jamil presents a new body of work that explores how we see ourselves — and how we are seen — in an ever-changing world. Working with hand-formed polished steel wall sculptures\, woven metal mesh\, and mirrored sculptural surfaces\, he creates artworks that bend\, fracture\, and recompose the viewer’s reflection. Each piece is activated by presence and movement — so the spectator becomes a participant within the work. \n

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Mr Brainwash
DESCRIPTION:A solo show for the French-born LA-based street artist who started filming graffiti art and subsequently became an artist in his own right after an off-hand suggestion from Banksy. As it happens\, many of the 10 works on show here are reworkings of Banksy originals (there is a persistant rumour that Mr Brainwash was/is Banksy’s alter ego\, or possible vice versa: but Mr Brainwash’s artistic evolution was mapped in Banksy’s 2010 documentary Exit Through The Gift Shop\, and Banksy has confirmed that Mr Brainwash is indeed real and a friend). Mr Brainswash has also deployed other iconic images in his paintings\, notably from Warhol and Haring. The resulting blend of Pop Art and Street Art he describes as his own form of “graffiti hybrid”.

SUMMARY:Flavio Lucchini: Hair
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of 23 works by the Italian art director/publisher of high fashion magazines. They’re highly graphic in style\, with bold lines and strong colours\, and as the title implies they consider women through the hair\, the only precise detail in a face without features. Says the artist: “These are not portraits. They are memories of emotions  … At my age\, I take pleasure in seeing life full of hope. The faces that come to mind I see as flowers in a garden or in the fields. All beautiful\, all different. They don’t have features but colours. They sway in the wind\, gaze into the eyes of the future\, and are recognised by detail …” \nTo 31 March. \nAbove: Flavio Lucchini\, Lola from the Hair series (2023)
