Celia Hempton 

Ocean Terminal


10.05.2025 – 26.07.2025

Flatland Projects presents ‘Ocean Terminal’ a new commission by British artist Celia Hempton, which is the artist’s first UK institutional solo exhibition. Ocean Terminal presents new works which consider the coast as a liminal space, where our structured human-made environment exists in constant reference to the movement and unpredictability of the ocean. Through paintings made in situ on demolition and building sites, as well as from online weather surveillance cameras and from the human body, the artist deepens her interest in the act of transgression and trespass, whilst speaking to the emotional dynamics of her/our internal psyche. Hempton’s work often confronts, activates and changes the dynamic of a given situation through the act of painting as a form of temporal performance.

Celia Hempton (b. Stroud, UK. Lives and works in London) has notably been included in group exhibitions such as ‘The Living End: Painting and Other Technologies, 1970 - 2020’, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (2024 - 2025), with recent inclusions in ‘British Art Show 9’ (touring), Aberdeen Art Gallery and The Box, Plymouth (2021 - 2022) and ‘My Life in the Metaverse’, Abu Dhabi Art, Manarat Saadiyat, UAE (2022). Solo presentations include ‘Transplant’ at Phillida Reid, London (2024); Celia Hempton, Southard Reid, London (2020); Art Night with ICA London (2016); Gwangju Biennale (2014).

This exhibition runs from 10th May - 26th July 2025 and has been generously supported by essential funds from Arts Council England, Rother District Council, De La Warr Pavilion, Talent Accelerator, and The Ministry of Communities, Housing, and Local Government.
