Bermondsey Artists’ Group co-founder Louise Sheridan will be exhibiting some of her Thames-based paintings in a group show of original artworks that opens this week at Blackheath’s newly re-opened Gallery White Box.
This is the gallery’s final show of 2025 and presents a variety of contemporary paintings, prints, sculptures, and kinetic works embracing art brut, abstract expressionism, and make-believe landscapes.
Works are available to view or purchase, and the gallery will also host a pair of workshops exploring the intersection of colour, painting, and psychodynamics, led by Christa Leask and Hannah Simons.
“Altogether, we believe it will be an inspiring chance to brighten the colder days, to find a Christmas gift for the art-lover in your life, or to embolden your home collection in the new year,” says the gallery’s curator, Aleksandra Niemczyk.
The winter show will offer a chance to revisit artists who’ve exhibited at the gallery in 2025, including Kathleen Taylor, Amabel Barlow, Aleksandra Niemczyk, and Andrea Resner, and to look ahead to artists who will exhibit in 2026, like Richard Lawrence, Steve Joy, Belinda Smith, and Louise Sheridan, whose studio overlooks the river at Rotherhithe and will have four river paintings in the exhibition.
Artists like Susan Dodd, who are well-known from across the years of Gallery White Box, will have work in the show, as will newer friends, including Java Bere, Christa Leask, and Monica Chrysostomou.
A visit to witness the show in person (a few doors down from the Hare & Billet Pub) is highly recommended, but many of the works are also available to purchase online at gallerywhitebox.co.uk/art-shop.
The workshops can also be booked via the gallery’s website (gallerywhitebox.co.uk/workshops), and you may catch a glimpse of the show on Instagram at @gallerywhitebox.
Gallery White Box, 5 Hare and Billet Road, Blackheath, London, SE3 0RB from December 12 to January 12. Open Friday – Sunday, 11-6pm.
