SEAN NOONAN: DWELLERS: A solo exhibition at 8 Holland Street's Kensington Gallery

8 Holland Street is pleased to present SEAN NOONAN: DWELLERS. An exhibition of oil paintings at 8 Holland Street’s Kensington Gallery.

DWELLERS brings together a series of works from New York based painter Sean Noonan. The works are painted directly onto found and aged wood. Each piece is full of Noonan’s poetic mark-making and vivid, resonant colour palettes creating interventions to interrupt, obscure, and reanimate the surfaces.

“Dwelling” operates here as both a noun and a verb: a place of residence, and the act of inhabiting, physically and cerebrally. The word implies a settled state of body or of mind, a condition that can feel increasingly elusive in the contemporary world. Noonan positions these works at the intersection of both meanings, holding space for presence, stillness, and interiority.

This collection of paintings originated within the artist’s own dwelling (his home studio and personal memory) with the hope that these works might carry those origins forward, continuing their existence within new dwellings of someone and someplace else.

Exhibition Dates: 19 February – 18 April 2026

Location: 8 Holland Street Kensington Gallery, 8 Holland Street, London W8 4LT
