Richard Hoare presents Edge of Light | Journeys Across a Frontier at Messum’s (London). From 7 to 30 January 2026, Messum’s (David Messum Fine Art) brings together a selection of recent works by the British painter, conceived along the Atlantic edge. The gallery frames this territory as a threshold: a place where sea and horizon blur, and light seems to force its way through skies that are dense, unstable, and perpetually in flux.

In this series, Hoare works with a richly physical paint surface—built up in thick passages and shaped with brush and palette knife—tracking passing squalls, atmospheric shifts, and the brief flare of light that precedes dusk: deep water greens, slate blues, and metallic greys, cut through by bands of yellow illumination. The exhibition includes works such as Evening Atlantic Edge (oil on linen, 99 × 90 cm). An illustrated catalogue will be available.

The project also extends to the London Art Fair (Islington), where Messum’s presents the work at Stand 34, from 21 to 25 January.
