Commencing on the 21st of July, Maddox Gallery takes immense pride in presenting Summer Daze, an ensemble exhibition that graces two distinct locales: the primary Maddox Street gallery and the Notting Hill outpost at Westbourne Grove. This exposition orchestrates a convergence of a diverse cadre of adept artists, hailing from both burgeoning and esteemed backgrounds. Each artist contributes their distinctive interpretation of a sun-soaked day, employing a medley of artistic methodologies and techniques.

Summer Daze serves as a debut platform for a multitude of artists in the Maddox Gallery realm, including the likes of Julio Sarramián, Miriam Dema, Brent Estabrook, Moritz Moll, Kean, Michael Slusakowicz, Jessica Brilli, Slim Aarons, and Kate Brinkworth. This enthralling spectacle affords art aficionados the chance to uncover nascent talent, coupled with the rare privilege of witnessing an artist in the act of creation. Brent Estabrook, the artist hailing from Los Angeles, will be fashioning his distinct art live at Maddox Shepherd Market until the culmination of August, showcasing his signature abstract textures and evocative compositions in real-time.

The exhibition embarks on a captivating odyssey, tracing the trajectory from dawn to dusk of a languid summer's day. This immersive experience captures the ebbing and flowing hues, dynamism, and ambiance of each phase. The break of dawn engenders a sense of anticipation, as the world rouses itself in tranquil gentleness. With the sun's ascension to its zenith, the atmosphere teems with vivacity and zestful vigor. Eventually, twilight descends, muddling the demarcation between reality and the surreal, conjuring a magical milieu.

Beyond merely exploring the exquisite transmutations of the day, Summer Daze delves into the artists' symbiotic relationship with their craft, forged through the ceaseless pursuit of the sun's trajectory. The exhibition probes the manner in which the seasons' fluctuations influence our psychological disposition. The elongated summer days encapsulate a suspended tension, an unwavering endeavor to remain tethered to the present moment, suffused with gratitude for each ephemeral instant before the advent of autumn.

Featured Artists: Julio Sarramián, Miriam Dema, Brent Estabrook, Moritz Moll, Kean, Michael Slusakowicz, Jessica Brilli, Oscar Llorens, Kate Brinkworth, Graceland London, and Slim Aarons.
