Gilded Lustre: Illuminating Texture and Tone
Bankside Hotel | White Box Space | 30th September 2025 - Early Spring 2026
Contemporary Collective x DegreeArt Gallery, in partnership with Bankside Hotel, are proud to present Gilded Lustre: Illuminating Texture and Tone, a group exhibition that celebrates light, radiance, and the transformative power of materiality.
Bringing together a selection of leading contemporary artists, Gilded Lustre explores the interplay of texture, surface, and tone through works that shimmer, reflect and glow. The exhibition is inspired by the timless allure of gilded surfaces and the warmth of light as it moves across different materials, evoking both festive brilliance and enduring luminousity, without being bound to a single season.
Through paintings, sculptural works, and mixed media pieces, the artists examine how the qualities of golds, metallics, and lustrous tones can transcend mere decoration, becoming metaphors for resilience, transformation, and celebration.
Together, the works form an immersive environment that invites audiences to reflect on the universal draw of light both physical and symbolic.
