An exhibition of new work by Ellie MacGarry and Tom Crawford. Here, the two painters are placed in conversation, where they consider themes of desire, the creative process, commitment and not knowing.
That’s the tension I’m interested in – and maybe the space Blackbird Rook can help occupy. A place where artists and collectors aren’t just flung at each other with a price tag attached, but where there’s context, trust, and real dialogue. Where advice isn’t patronising, and enthusiasm isn’t cynical. Where someone helps you find your footing, whichever side of the equation you’re on.
