elysium Gallery invites you to the latest of our series of special online artist talks as part of our current exhibition Neuro Expression. 10/04/26 – 16/05/26
Neuro Expression is a group exhibition of artists who identify as neurodivergent. Chosen from the result of a national open call-out, each artist explores and expresses their sensory, emotional, psychological or physical experiences as neurodivergent people.
Benedict L Phillips is an established freelance ND artist, curator, and consultant. His practice is eclectic, encompassing a broad range of methodologies, generating work as diverse as public art, performance, sculpture, photography, and media art. He is particularly concerned with the ongoing interrelationship and shifting hierarchy between photography, sculpture and performance within his practice, and the aesthetics of each approach. Exploiting historical production processes as well as more recent digitally driven approaches informs the making of much of his work.
Jen Gash’s relationship with painting spans nearly 40 years—an often unplanned but persistent journey driven by a need to create and explore visually. Largely self-taught, aside from short courses and mentoring, she works alongside her practices as a therapist and occasional writer.
Her process embraces chance. Through a random, sometimes destructive and playful approach, she searches for emerging hints and suggestions within the paint. Imagery may surface quickly or take years to resolve, yet her work consistently carries tones of melancholy, pathos, or dreamlike reflection.
