Every work in the Atelier Lumière collection is accompanied by a curatorial note — the story of its making, its material language and the questions it asks of the viewer. Browse below, or visit us to see them in person.
Twenty translucent glazes, each dried for weeks before the next is laid — a landscape of memory that shifts with the light.… Voss begins each canvas with no fixed image, working toward a colour that feels inevitable. One of the gallery's most requested works.
A single pour, six months of hand-finishing — mass that appears to float above the plinth that carries it.… Reik treats bronze as a material that remembers movement, displacing the centre of gravity until the sculpture seems to hover. A companion piece is held in a private collection in Copenhagen.
Seven winters spent waiting for the same stretch of coast to change — the turning point of Chen's celebrated series.… No. IV records the year the waterline moved further than it ever had before, capturing both the land and its slow disappearance. Printed by the artist in an edition of eight.
Salvaged letters, dry pigment and thread — language embroidered into texture until it becomes illegible.… Marsh works with correspondence from flea markets and second-hand bookshops, stitching over the text as a meditation on distance and devotion. The centrepiece of her 2025 solo showing.
A single hairline of gold divides a field of slate — a study in the moment between one state and the next.… Anders burnishes the gold leaf by hand until it catches light at every angle; the slate pigment is worked wet-in-wet so no two passages share the same tone.
Black blooms on a moonlit ground, cut from a single block over three months.… Balan leaves the timber grain visible in the negative space, so the print carries the memory of the tree it came from. No. 4 of an edition of twelve, on handmade cotton paper.
A quiet archaeology of industrial materials — weather-worn steel and glass from a demolished harbour building.… The patina records years of weather; the glass carries the scratches of a thousand hands. A low relief that changes completely under gallery lighting.
The moment streetlights and last daylight hold each other in balance — the corner our gallery has called home since 2009.… Made over a single week of patient evenings, this quiet series made Aubry's name. Edition of nine, signed and numbered.
Bottle caps, ticket stubs and signage fragments — a city map from a distance, a diary up close.… Osei unifies the salvaged material with a single poured pigment wash. First shown in our 2024 New Ground programme and acquired by three collectors since.
A portrait of invisible labour — no face, no setting, only posture and presence.… Delacroix's series on caretakers and custodians; the painting's quiet authority comes from what it withholds. Acquired for the permanent collection in 2023.
The same wave drawn four times — from photograph, from memory, from proof — until it became abstract.… Each plate uses a different pressure of hand. The fullest statement of the curator-artist's printmaking, drawn from a single image taken in the Bay of Biscay.
The hollow worn into stone by years of use — carved from a single block, without preliminary drawings.… Abbasi lets the material dictate the form; the stone's natural banding runs through the piece like strata of time. Recently acquired, on view in the East Hall.
Our advisory team works with private collectors, architects and institutions to source and commission works — from single pieces to full building-scale projects.
