Homecoming Gallery proudly presents a duo solo exhibition by Amsterdam artists Aldo van den Broek and Johnny Mae Hauser at Park Modern, Hyde Park, London. Curated by Brandei Estes and hosted by Lola Bute, this exhibition marks their first large-scale duo solo show as partners in life and new occasional partners in art.

During their first summer living and working in parallel as a new family, two separate yet intertwined collections emerged, reflecting their distinct perspectives. In Postpartum Garden, van den Broek explores the themes of growth and decay, along with the fragility of new life. His work employs structures, tonalism, and symbolism to contemplate the transformation and resilience found in motherhood.

Conversely, Hauser’s abstract series die Welle examines the tension between the self and the other, where the boundaries of identity blur and redefine. As both artists navigate their evolving identities during moments of profound change, this duo exhibition showcases their intricate—and at times opposing—journeys of self-discovery.

Friday November 15th, head curator Brandei Estes will be hosting an artist talk.
Saturday and Sunday Nov 16th/17th, the exhibition will be open by appointment, contact [email protected]

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Impressionist movement, Jonathan Bertin worked for two years between Paris and Normandy, his place of origin and the cradle of the discipline, photographing the places of his daily life, banal scenes, worldly scenes, limestone cliffs and lively waves of the Alabaster Coast.

This movement, which appeared in France in the last quarter of the 19th century, emphasizes visual sensation and the instantaneous expression of light effects. Born partly because of the emergence of photography, which then made it possible to perfectly depict reality, Jonathan Bertin thus takes the opposite path: using photography not to freeze a moment but to restore its movement.

Everyday life becomes a playground, Jonathan embraces the subtlety of the ordinary, the colors, the passage of time. His approach paints a sensitive portrait of Normandy, a relationship to spaces and things that imposes itself like a melody.

Derrick Ofosu Boateng, born in Accra in 1998, is a self-taught fine art photographer known for his pioneering role in defining the term ‘Hueism.’ Family is a central theme in Boateng’s work, deeply rooted in his upbringing and the influence of his father, a wise man of the Ashanti people. His extended family, including aunts, uncles, brothers, and sisters, often feature in his art, which reflects the communal and interconnected nature of African life.

The exhibition, which features a collection of iconic works, celebrates the concept of Motherhood.

‘Motherhood is a nurturing force and a gentle miracle. The first place of comfort comes from the womb, a soft tissue that gently breaks introducing us to a much colder world. I believe our mothers are spirits that are filled with love that goes beyond the physical to guide and protect us eternally till we are no more.’
