In my introduction to the catalogue of her current exhibition (to 9 April 2022) at JD Malat Gallery Mayfair, I wrote: 'Georgia Dymock is an emerging English artist whose paintings are conceived and born from a combination of digital technology and traditional painterly techniques...... Georgia says that she likes to constantly come close to and then distance herself from the making process by travelling both physically and mentally between the virtual and physical worlds. This process has become an integral part of the majority of human lives since the start of the pandemic. Georgia’s paintings are a visual metaphor of what has been happening and continues to happen in the hybrid world of our everyday lives where we distance one another in virtual worlds, sometimes even lose and then movingly rediscover one another in the physical world. Georgia Dymock’s prophetic paintings help us to find wisdom, understanding and offer a healing mediation of our internal binary oppositions in this world turned upside down.'

Kojo Marfo's work has become familiar to Londoners living and working in the West End over the last two years since appearing in the 'Isolation Mastered' open competition finalists' exhibition at JD Malat Gallery in Mayfair in the summer of 2020 following months of lockdown. His magnificent portrait paintings caught the eye of important collectors, so much so that Kojo was given a solo show in the summer of 2021, beautifully named 'Dreaming of Identity' (catalogue introduction written by podcast creator David Bellingham. In this podcast we discuss Kojo's influences and his poetic visual responses to the pandemic, his African heritage and contemporary global society and culture.
