Realising a niche for immersive art forms, the gallery will serve as a platform dedicated to New Contemporary or progressive mediums, including video, painting, sculpture and installation, from British and international emerging artists.

Evelyn Yard Contemporary will form a neutral environment where artists adopting distinct and alternative working methodologies can become creative protagonists through personal expression, innovation, advancement of traditional techniques and installation. The culmination of which will allow the audience uncompromised access to the work and space alike, as inherently imagined by the exhibiting artist(s). Essentially, EYC aims to become a nucleus for groundbreaking modern-day viewing, where audience and artwork conspire through interaction.

Evelyn Yard Contemporary is the invention of founding partners, Richard Grindy and Rachelle Lunnon, which fulfills their inimitable vision of creating a unique exhibition space to showcase the best of art in varying conceptualised forms. By meticulously redesigning the building to function as an accompanying component – through its unconventional shape, grandiose ceiling and windows, all swarmed in ethereal light – EYC will bring together some of the most renowned creative talents and allow them creative freedom for uncompromised, sensory projects and exhibitions, featuring installations and artworks of the highest design.

To commence the opening, Evelyn Yard Contemporary will present ‘The Hotel Room’, an exclusive art installation by Royal College of Art graduates Phil Goss and Jamie Jenkinson, open to the public from 4th December until end of January.

Phil Goss in an illustrator specialising in drawing and print. Drawing obsessively, Phil constantly discovers the complexity within the everyday, expanding the mundane into immersive, layered images. Through his original drawing process his portrayals of life are both seductive and unsettling. His work has been involved in a number of group and solo shows including the Victoria and Albert Museum, Centre for Recent Drawing and the Korean Cultural Centre. His work has also been used for magazines, album artwork and posters.

Jamie Jenkinson is an internationally exhibited video artist. His work has been exhibited at world leading museums and galleries including the V&A, BFI, MOMA and National Portrait Gallery. Working through single screen and installation his practice explores digital and physical phenomena through consumer products and optical processes. Interested in the social cognition of video, Jamie’s recent mechanical sculptures are only truly realised via the viewer’s own mobile video device.
