At Twilight Contemporary, a new exhibition titled The Space That Lies Between gathers the work of eight artists whose practices revolve around the human form and the quiet drama of interpersonal connection. What emerges is a contemplative, at times disquieting study of the thresholds between self and other—those charged, often invisible spaces that define how we relate to one another.
Exhibiting Artists: Derrelle Elijah, Siomha Harrington, Afonso Rocha, Gwen Evans, Isidore Bishop-Sauve, Denny Kaulbach, Isaac Jordan
The show does not trade in grand gestures. Instead, it dwells in the moments where boundaries blur: in the touch of a hand, the pause between words, the unease of proximity, or the ache of solitude. Through painting, sculpture, and mixed media, these artists approach the figure not simply as representation, but as site—of longing, illness, pleasure, and transformation.

Rather than offer tidy conclusions, The Space That Lies Between deals in ambiguity. Scenes unfold that are at once tender and unsettling, familial and unfamiliar. Identity is treated not as fixed, but as porous and conditional—shaped, and at times fractured, by the presence of others.
Some works lean towards the intimate or the sensual, while others take on a more satirical edge, using humour and irony to undercut familiar narratives about intimacy and communication. Throughout, there’s an insistence that even the smallest gesture—a glance, a movement, a shift in posture—can carry profound emotional weight.
It is in these in-between spaces that the exhibition finds its footing. Not quite presence, not quite absence, the emotional terrain it maps resists easy definition. What it offers instead is a quiet reminder that we are, all of us, shaped as much by what lies between as by what we hold within.
In an age defined by digital distance and fractured attention, The Space That Lies Between suggests that our most transformative moments may still arise from the physical and emotional proximity we share with others—however fleeting, however charged.
The Space That Lies Between opens on the 10th of April, 2025 until the 3rd of May, 2025 at Twilight Contemporary
