Theodora Allen: Saturnine
-
Theodora Allen's first monograph, Saturnine, is now available for pre-order. Published by Motto Books and with text by Stephanie Cristello, Saturnine is released on the occasion of the artist's first solo museum exhibition at Kunsthal Aarhus in Denmark, opening on May 14, 2021.
Drawing from music, literature, myth and nature, Allen’s meditative compositions investigate themes of temporality and eternity, exploring a space between the physical world and an interior mindscape. Interweaving the artist’s emblematic use of symbols, the exhibition and accompanying catalogue engage with a history of Saturn, the celestial body said to have been the cause of a melancholic disposition—from ancient myth and the Middle Ages through to the present.

About the Artist
Portrait by Reuben Cox.Theodora Allen
Theodora Allen’s paintings are quiet, restrained, and at times unsettling. Drawing from music, literature, myth and nature, Allen’s meditative compositions investigate themes of temporality and eternity, exploring a space between the physical world and an interior mindscape.
In recent bodies of work, Allen has presented images of celestial bodies, moths and serpents, delirium-inducing plants, and string-less guitars emerging from geometric structures and reliquary-like spaces. The emblems are introspective and elusive, carrying the tone of despondency and the weight of existential inquiry.

Helena Foster: Time Honoured featured in Plus Magazine
April 18, 2025Walking into Helena Foster’s “Time Honoured” at Kasmin, you’re met with a hush—a sacred quiet that wraps around each painting like breath held in contemplation. Though it marks the first solo show in New York for the London-based painter, Foster’s presence feels neither new nor foreign. Her work carries the gravity of ancestral memory, the lyricism of oral storytelling, and the immediacy of the present. Through her meticulous layering of oil on linen, paper, and vellum, she offers something rare: paintings that speak not in proclamations but in visual whispers—proverbs rendered in earth tones and radiant light. -
