Flock - curated by Natalie Slater

A curation by Natalie Slater, Curator at Singulart - ‘Flock’ brings together artists working across painting, photography, and mixed media who return to the bird as subject — not as symbol, but as form, motion, and presence. Across the selection, birds appear mid-flight, grounded, fragmented, or reduced to feathers and wings. Some works focus on movement and repetition; others isolate a single figure or trace. Styles vary, but the approach is consistent: birds are treated as physical bodies moving through space, not metaphors waiting to be decoded. The compositions feel observational rather than sentimental. Wings cut through air. Feathers fall, rest, scatter. In some works, the bird dominates the frame; in others, it barely holds together. What matters is not drama, but structure — how motion is held, interrupted, or allowed to pass. What emerges is not symbolism, but proximity — moments where motion, pause, and repetition quietly mirror how presence is formed and lost. The birds move on; the structure they leave behind lingers.
