Artists Amy Douglas and Lou Winwood have come together for their first joint exhibition, titled COLLISIO, held from June 11-14, 2026, at Studio Two Point in London's Perseverance Works complex. The exhibition presents a disruptive sensory mix of painting, collage, drawing, and ceramics, exploring themes of memory, family, nostalgia, and pets through materials like broken ceramics, discarded books, and textile scraps. Douglas, a Brighton-based ceramic artist and printmaker, and Winwood, a Hertfordshire-based artist who transitioned from a fashion career, have been friends for over three decades. The show is curated by Anne Mullee.
This exhibition matters because it highlights the creative synergy between two long-time friends who, despite working in different media and coming from distinct career backgrounds, share a common artistic language of disorder and reassessment. By deliberately probing accepted boundaries and perception, Douglas and Winwood offer a fresh, tactile perspective on contemporary mixed-media art. The show also underscores the growing trend of artists moving from commercial fields like fashion into fine art, and the importance of intimate, curator-led group shows in London's vibrant studio complex scene.
