Lane Gallery London is pleased to present Butter, a group exhibition featuring works by Manon Steyaert, Gwenyth Fugard, and Vasylyna Vrublevska.
On view at 31 St George Street, London W1S 2FJ, Butter brings together three distinct artistic voices in an exploration of texture, materiality, and subtle transformation.
The title Butter refers to a substance suspended between solidity and dissolution, reflecting the artists’ shared attention to transformation, material sensitivity, and the fluid passage through which form comes into being.
Manon Steyaert, a French-born, London-based mixed-media artist whose work is shaped through sustained engagement with materials. Using silicone, latex, and cellophane, Steyaert employs a gradual, hands-on process to guide the development of each piece. Her work unsettles traditional distinctions between painting and sculpture, producing forms that register as both surface and structure.
Gwenyth Fugard is a London-based visual artist from New Zealand whose practice explores the interplay of materiality and process. Fugard creates a space where material and process take precedence, allowing abstraction to unfold in its purest, most elemental state. Rather than embedding explicit narratives or commentary, her work remains focused on the fundamental experience of painting: its materiality and process, and the depth that emerges through sustained attention to surface and sensation.
Vasylyna Vrublevska is a Ukrainian photographer whose work explores the materiality of film and the fluid nature of photographic representation. Spanning more than two decades of artistic practice, she has continually pushed photography’s documentary potential through in-camera overexposure and chemical film manipulation, developing a distinctive visual language of richly textured abstract compositions. Vrublevska is currently based between Kyiv and Paris.

While working across different mediums and processes, the three artists share an approach that is intuitive, tactile, and materially driven.
Butter is on view through May 31.
