A First Look at Salon
Twelve works, nine artists, six countries. Curated by Edith Doove, our inaugural exhibition brings together distinct artistic voices to introduce Salon to the world.
Patrik Dvorščak
Peugot gathers drawings, handwriting and torn paper into a pale, airy field of blue, cream and soft orange. At its centre, a row of small figures stands behind a railing against a patch of sky blue, while tiny cars roll across the lower half and a name scrawled at the lower left gives the painting its title. Handwritten lines in English describe how we identify ourselves by what we own, and how, in a society without individuality, people begin to function as a crowd. Patrik Dvorščak sets these thoughts within a light, almost gentle surface, so that the critique of ownership and conformity arrives quietly, through small figures and everyday objects.
Patrik Dvorščak
“I am imprisoned, but not alone, so many people crowd against me” is built from papers, drawings and handwriting pressed together in warm peach, ochre and pale grey. Groups of tiny figures huddle inside circles and boxes, a line of onlookers stands behind a gridded frame, and a long-legged bird stalks across a block of ochre. At the upper left, a handwritten passage in Slovenian and English gives the painting its title, setting confinement beside the press of other lives. Patrik Dvorščak turns the surface into a crowded interior, where the warmth of the colour sits uneasily against the sense of being hemmed in.
Diana Hyslop
“Tread Softly” places two bright blue deer on an orange ridge beneath a grey sky dotted with pink clouds. Each wears a pair of red slippers trimmed with frills and pale socks, as if they had been told to step carefully and taken the instruction literally. One looks away into the distance; the other turns its head with an open mouth, caught between speaking and holding back. Diana Hyslop’s animals often stand in for herself, and here the reversed, artificial colours make a gentle scene feel tense, a landscape where caution has become costume.

Fish out of Water fills a pale mint sky with a school of grey-blue fish, each with a bright, glinting eye that seems to look back. Below them an animal-headed figure stands with folded arms, half-sunk in dark green, its face tilted up as if watching and being watched in turn. Diana Hyslop often lets animals stand in for herself, and with sky and water reversed, it is unclear who is out of place, the observer or the observed.
Patrik Dvorščak
“After auto-eroticism I think therefore I am” turns a familiar philosophical line on its head, placing thought after bodily experience rather than before it. A bed sits at the centre of the composition, with miniature figures in blue ink arranged around it in a dreamlike, almost choreographed scene, while accents of red bring the body into a space that is also architectural. Handwritten fragments in Slovenian and English run through the pale, grey-green surface, never fully readable, yet carrying the irony and psychological tension Patrik Dvorščak would otherwise stage in an installation with sound. The painting holds bodily presence and self-reflection together, as though movement and thought were unfolding at once.
Norman O'Flynn
A highly realistic pug sits at the centre of Dog Days 2, isolated against a background of fluid, brightly coloured marks. The contrast gives the familiar animal the character of a pop-cultural emblem: immediately recognisable, yet subtly transformed by its new surroundings. Painted on the reverse of acrylic glass, the work also changes with the light and reflections around it, adding another shifting layer to its playful collision of figuration and abstraction.
