This exhibition takes its title from a line by W.H. Auden, which expresses the attempt to uncover the ineffable - truths, emotions, and sensations that resist direct articulation and definition.
It features the work of several UK-based painters, each engaging with the challenge of representing what often defies representation.
Just as some aspects of human experience are best understood through intuition rather than intellect, the works produce intuitive, harmonious outcomes through form, colour, and quality.
The show invites viewers to discover meaning through introspection, considering the works within the context of their own lives, uncovering a personal meaning rather than a pre-written one.
Just as sleep comes to us when we stop looking for it, these works encourage slow contemplation rather than immediate comprehension.
