ABIGAIL HAMPSEY

CLOSE ENOUGH

Supported using public funding by Arts Council England, and developed in partnership with Grundy Art Gallery.

Join us in our Project Space 
📍 Friday 24 April
🕓 4–6pm.

This special preview aligns with our partners at Grundy Art Gallery, offering an early invitation ahead of their evening programme—celebrating a major solo presentation by Louise Giovenelli, alongside works by Apollo Painting School artists, and a rare opportunity to encounter a touring work by Claude Monet as part of the National Gallery’s programme.

In Close Enough, Hampsey invites us into a space where interior and exterior landscapes dissolve—where memory, lived experience, and environment fold into one another. 

Rooted in daily rhythms of making and living, her work moves fluidly between painting, labour, and life, holding moments of tension, distance, and intimacy in suspension.

A multidisciplinary artist from the North West, Hampsey’s practice draws on autobiography, rural and urban landscapes, and art historical references—developing a vivid visual language of recurring motifs and symbolic forms.Join us as Blackpool’s leading independent visual arts studios, and continue the evening with the town’s leading institution for contemporary art.A night bringing together artists at all stages of their careers—across spaces, practices, and generations.

FREE: refreshments will be provided. DONATIONS to Abingdons mission to see ‘Artists Being Supported’ are welcomed.

ACCESS: Please note our project space is up flights of stairs on the second floor. We have toilet facilities on the first floor.
