Fault Lines
Gabriel Mills & Hannah Morgan
Public Gallery, London, EN
June 18th, 2026 - July 25th, 2026
Mills’ practice studies the material conditions and behavioural properties of oil and pigment. His paintings emerge through the accumulation of experimental mixtures with differing rates of oxidation, producing ridges, fissures, and sediment-like strata that parallel the density and atmospheric weight of natural topographies. The work is equally informed by broader questions surrounding consciousness, presence, and the conditions through which form comes into being. Each mark evidences the artist’s presence rather than representing an illusion or ‘other place’, guided by cycles of creation that extend beyond immediate perception and toward an intuitive, subliminal understanding.

Fault lines gestures toward geological time and physical landscapes, where the peaks and valleys within Mills’ impasto fields resonate with the seams and cavities in Morgan’s sculptural installations, framing both practices as parallel terrains of accumulation and erosion. Across the exhibition, the artists pursue long lines of inquiry that grapple with cycles of creation and seismic transformation. Together, they navigate the thresholds of the unknown, relying on alternative, often intuitive forms of knowledge that sit beyond our immediate understanding.
