• Cadogan Gallery is delighted to announce our participation at Aspen Art Fair 2025, where we will present a group exhibition of new works by Deborah Tarr, Sam Lock, Nuria Maria, Richard Zinon, and Ramon Enrich — five artists whose practices speak to the poetics of process, gesture, and abstraction.

     

    At the heart of this presentation lies a shared commitment to abstraction as a vessel for emotion, memory, and material exploration. These painters navigate the liminal space between the seen and the felt, the physical and the ephemeral—each articulating a distinct painterly language rooted in movement, intuition, and the transformative alchemy of mark-making.

     

    Together, these artists create a dialogue across surface and sensation, inviting viewers into a space where painting becomes not just an image, but an experience, a way of being present to the moment, to the memory, and to the material itself.

     

     

  • Nuria Maria

    Nuria Maria

    Growing up in a family of artists, Nuria Maria has been immersed in art from a young age. In her early career, Nuria’s paintings were predominantly figurative, experimenting also with music and video installations. Since then, her work has grown increasingly abstract, attempting to capture the atmosphere of a certain moment, a day in the season, a memory, or a certain type of light. Nuria Maria's canvases are a kind of contemporary impressionism. Her work captures something fugitive—a temperature, a breath, the echo of a memory caught in light. Each painting is a reverie: an evocation of love, longing, and belonging, shaped by the rhythms of time and place. The colours carry the atmosphere and the interaction between subjects: they attract or push, float, fall, fly or are blown out of the painting itself. Nuria Maria paints not the world itself, but the feeling of being in it.

  • Sam Lock

    Sam Lock

    Sam Lock’s paintings are layered narratives—fragments from different times and places that find one another through chance and tension, forming constellations of presence and absence. Each work exists in a constant state of becoming, shaped by a visceral, unpredictable process that allows the material to settle into its own identity, independent of intention. Hovering between the physical and the poetic, his paintings hold the weight of their making while gesturing toward something intangible—a language beyond words. The concept of time has been one of Lock’s primary themes in painting - time to create; history and memory and traces of other times and places. This ‘poetry of yesterday’ is sensed in all of his paintings. They are not paintings that reveal themselves at a glimpse. They require the viewer to find a new pace, to take the time to discern and contemplate the deeper resonances of the works. Acting as an interface between the conscious and the subconscious, the paintings’ surfaces create a connection between inner and outer worlds.

  • Deborah Tarr

    Deborah Tarr

    Deborah Tarr paints from the threshold between thought and instinct. Her canvases are quiet yet insistent, built through an act of paring back rather than embellishment. Each brushstroke carries a measured weight, a sense of restraint that gives her work its gravitational pull. There is a raw elegance in Tarr’s work—forms emerge and recede like half-remembered places or emotional traces, drawn delicately through line and tone. Tarr’s paintings emphasise their own materiality, her output is fine-tuned and each painting becomes a complete and individual object. This is defined as much by the grain of the canvas and the application of colour, as by the careful choice of frame. Sourcing and choosing the frame is a vital part of Tarr’s artistic process. From antique and reclaimed to clean and modern custom-made frames, the juxtaposition of traditional and modern, organic and man-made, is what makes her work unique, powerful and universal.

  • Ramon Enrich

    Ramon Enrich

    Catalan artist Ramon Enrich harnesses his passion for architecture in his paintings of geometric and colourful landscapes. Inspired by rationalist and African architecture, Enrich creates landscapes of geometric shapes with a non-human reference point placing buildings at the heart of the canvases. Within a grid-like structure reminiscent of city planning, flat roofs, never ending staircases and barren, lifeless landscapes render the architecture functionless, creating a surrealist and spell-binding feel. Ramon Enrich brings a unique architectural sensibility to abstraction. His compositions are most striking in their deceptive simplicity. Shapes become more important than the objects they represent, pushing the limits of abstraction. Trees and bushes are reduced to simple cone, sphere and cube shapes just like the buildings themselves. Often bordering on the metaphysical, his work questions the boundaries between real and the imagined — they are calm, enigmatic landscapes that exist beyond the limits of time or place.

  • Richard Zinon

    Richard Zinon

    Richard Zinon distills the act of painting into pure, expressive movement. In his large-scale abstractions, sweeping brushstrokes, reminiscent of calligraphic forms cut across open space with clarity and restraint. Working within a subdued palette, Zinon’s work finds emotional intensity through subtle variation and compositional grace. These are meditations in motion—gestural, immediate, and profoundly felt. Zinon uses a restricted palette, placing dark hues to explore the subtleties of light and colour. His large-scale, abstract paintings are devoid of figuration or complex reference. Through the direct but contained strength of the brushstrokes, Zinon conveys pure emotion.
