Are you intrigued by the idea of impossible landscapes and the power of illusion? The upcoming exhibition, I Remember the Mirage, at Farleys House & Gallery in Lewes on Saturday, 31 October 2026, is a chance to explore these themes through the paintings of Alison Hand. Her artworks bring together recurring images, multiple moons, and reflections to create surreal landscapes that layer the historical and contemporary.

Alison Hand's paintings use a range of techniques to explore the idea of illusion, including overlaying red and blue to create an optical disturbance. This hyperactive pattern suggests hallucination and adds to the sense of the surreal. Some of her paintings also use the séance as a metaphor for belief systems, exploring themes of illusion, fakery, and credulity.

The exhibition will feature a range of Hand's paintings, including mirror paintings that depict mirrors which don't reflect the viewer, or reflect a 17th century night sky when tilted. To see these captivating artworks, tickets are with the button beside the article.
