This week’s artists piece together realities to create their own universe.

*            *            *

1. In Eske Kath’s new work, he examines his interest in the forces of destruction and rebirth and the tension as an artist between chaos and control at Charlie James Gallery
2. Nicolas Cuellar’s work is an exotic amalgamation of fantasy, Surrealism and folklore at Skot Foreman Fine Art
3. Jules de Balincourt explores private themes that evoke architecture, travel, human migrations and artificial places, in a floating, idealized and escapist atmosphere with hints of a pervading vulnerability at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac
4. In Deb Mansfield’s new series of photo-tapestries, And dive into the sea, the precarious nature of travel is explored through internet-found images of island crossings and early forays into space at Stills Gallery
5. Josh Dorman weaves together a whorl of images borrowed from texts on botany, aerospace engineering, cattle disease, and microbiology to generate an internal logic within each painting. Dualistic ideas of chaos and order, natural and manmade, fluidity and restraint reoccur in his collaged universes to prompt discovery and fantasy at Ryan Lee Gallery
6. Vikky Alexander’s new series combines found images of animals with postcards of historic buildings, architectural marvels, museums, palaces and gardens that she has collected during her travels over the last 30 years at Wilding Cran Gallery
