Haricot Gallery is thrilled to present Altered Horizons, a duo exhibition featuring the works of Alice Neave and Mads Bryld Sørensen. 

 

In this exhibition, the works of Mads Bryld Sørensen and Alice Neave meet in dialogue, exploring fluid landscapes that shimmer between abstraction and recognition. Their practices, though distinct in material and method, share a fascination with transience, and the moments when the natural world slips into something more inward and intangible.

 

For Sørensen, landscapes are never fixed. His oil paintings hover in transition, capturing the fleeting play of light across volatile surfaces, where seasons stretch and fold into one another. A field becomes a tide, a sky dissolves into liquid colour – images that feel both uncannily familiar and untethered from geography. His paintings are meditations on transformation, revealing nature as a perpetual cycle in which everything dissolves, re-forms, and begins again.

 

Alice Neave, meanwhile, approaches the landscape through fabric, pigment, and stitch. Working on viscose, her paintings are built up through washes of dye, layered gestures, and sewn seams. Her practice is as much about material and process as it is about subject, piecing together fragments that echo shifting experiences of the environment. Her landscapes are less observational than experiential – drawn from time spent in nature made tactile in cloth and colour.

 

Alongside each other, their works present landscapes that resist stability: Sørensen’s surfaces ripple like seasons in slow motion, while Neave’s compositions gather and disperse like patchwork memory. Together, they remind us that nature is never still but endlessly reimagined in a cycle of change to which we remain inextricably bound.
