Join us at Hyde Gallery this June for Home from Home, an evocative exhibition by London-based artist Alex Rennie. Featuring a series of striking paintings, Rennie explores themes of displacement and belonging through two distinct but complementary bodies of work.
At the heart of the exhibition are Rennie’s captivating paintings of teacups spinning weightlessly in ‘space’—a playful yet poignant reflection on the experience of refugees and displaced communities. The humble teacup, a universal symbol of welcome and hospitality, becomes an emblem of resilience and hope, gently reminding us of the shared humanity in offering a simple cup of tea.
Alongside these floating teacups, you’ll discover Rennie’s vibrant cityscapes of London. With their familiar skylines and bustling scenes, these paintings anchor the exhibition firmly in the artist’s own home, offering a visual conversation between the idea of ‘home’ as both a physical place and a feeling of belonging.
