In We Are Still Here, Jess Driver turns to oil paint and canvas to ask what it means to be present in an age of accelerating unreality. Working from source images gathered online, some photographs of real people, others generated entirely by artificial intelligence, she confronts a question with no clean answer: how do we know the difference anymore?
These works ask you to slow down and look, not at a screen, but at paint, at canvas, at the insistent fact of a human hand at work. To stand in front of them is to practise something quietly radical: being present. The faces may blur, the signals may fade, but the body does not forget itself. We are still here. We remain.
Visit for the opening celebration on 18 April, 2pm to 4pm.
