Maya Frodeman Gallery is pleased to present One Thing Touches Another, a group exhibition curated by artist Tom Hammick and curator Emma Hill, on view at the gallery's downtown location from July 31st through September 14th, 2025. An artist reception will be held Thursday, July 31st from 5 to 8pm. Hammick and Hill will be in attendance. All are welcome to attend.
One Thing Touches Another draws together the work of 41 British artists and foregrounds painting as a vital medium of human expression. The exhibition ranges from work by artists of the Modern British era, includes a painter of the Windrush generation, and travels into the present time with examples of paintings and works on paper by internationally established artists and younger emerging practitioners. Within the selection there are numerous meeting points: historic artists who have influenced, artists who have taught other artists, friends, partners, siblings. Co-curated by an artist and a gallerist who have known and worked together in London since the late 1980s, at its heart it presents eloquent evidence about the value of the practice of art in the contemporary world.
The selection is not bound by any one formal aesthetic – though a prevailing aspect could be said to be the exploration of a sense or spirit that is often expressed through the depiction of landscape, both real and imaginary. It is not the case that all of the artists included are British born – rather that they trained, work, or worked, predominantly in the UK.
