Limoncello Dessert Inspired by Sarah Emily Porter
Contemporary Collective and Art Yard Bar & Kitchen are thrilled to announce a unique Limoncello-inspired dessert, a colaboration between artist-in-reseidence Sarah Emily Porter and Chef Adam Takac, merging food and art in an innovative creation. Inspired by Sarah's 'Limoncello' artwork from her food series, Adam has creatively interpreted her disinctive technique of pouring and manipulating paint on the plate. Together, they explored a vibrant palette of flavours, colours, and forms, resulting in a refreshingly zesty dessert that feature a yoghurt mousse dome and tones of limoncello coulis. This delicious creation visually embodies Sarah's artistic work's colour, composition, and form.
Sarah's Residency Collection Launch
Join us for the first official view of Sarah's residency collection. Created during her artist residency at the Bankside Hotel from March- May 2025, this exclusive collection embodies her unique experience in the space and the development of her practice. At the collection launch, attendees will have the chance to view all of the completed artworks for the very first time and hear from Sarah about her experience in residence.
We'd love to see you there to celebrate! RSVP here
WELCOME TO OUR NEW ARTISTS
About the artists:
Hello, we are a couple of artists living in Poland.
We invite you to the world of our painting, where abstract geometry meets mystery and colour pulses with energy. Our paintings are gateways to hidden dimensions - spaces where symbols intertwine with science and intuition leads where reason has not yet reached.
Other painting paths are expressive and mysterious landscapes or symbolic female portraits. You are sure to find a painting that you would like to contemplate in your home or office.
There is depth in the simple form. In the colours - the vibration of light and shadows. Each canvas is a journey, each shape an invitation to discover the invisible forces that move the world.
Come, feel, see.

MEET THE ARTIST: INTERVIEW WITH MICHAEL BRACE
Michael Brace is an art graduate forom the University of Coventry, whose work draws inspriation from everyday life and captures the beuaty in both expansive cityscapes and intimate scenes. His practice is deeply influenced by the Baroque movement, particularly its use of realism, chiarascuro, and vibrant colors. Michael's creative process is intuitive, developing themed collections that form naturally in his mind, with a slow and methodical approach focused on accuracy in perspective and proporations before adding rich color to his drawings.
