In their first duo show at Teyr Fine Art, Natalie Day and Hannah Wheeler present a powerful exploration of extremes through scale, contrast, and emotional intensity. This carefully curated exhibition showcases monumental statement works alongside intimate miniatures, creating a dynamic dialogue between the immersive and the personal.

The Power of Scale

The gallery transforms into an experiential landscape where viewers move between towering canvases that demand physical presence and delicate smaller works that invite close contemplation. These large paintings offer an immersive experience, inviting you to slow down and surrender to the raw power of nature and human emotion captured within each frame.

Light Meets Shadow

Day's earth-pigment landscapes, born from Cornwall's ancient ground, speak to our ancestral connection with the land through multi-viewpoint abstractions that blur the boundaries between observation and memory. Her work captures the sublime drama of Cornwall's dramatic coastlines and moorlands, where golden light meets storm-dark skies.

Wheeler's high-contrast oil paintings delve into the human condition with unflinching honesty, her figures emerging from Baroque-inspired darkness to reveal the universal narratives of struggle, strength, and connection. Rooted in personal experience, her work transforms the rawness of human emotion into compelling visual poetry.

Where Extremes Meet

Together, these artists demonstrate that extremes are not opposites but complementary forces - the monumental and the intimate, the natural and the human, light and shadow, ancient wisdom and contemporary expression. Their work invites us to embrace the full spectrum of experience, finding beauty in both the overwhelming and the whispered.

We invite you to move slowly through this exhibition, allowing yourself to be absorbed by the power of nature, the complexity of human experience, and the transformative potential of art when it dares to go to extremes.

Opens Wednesday 2nd July until Saturday 26th July .
