Elliott Routledge returns to Saint Cloche for his second solo exhibition with the gallery, FANTASY FANTASY, a presentation examining fantasy not as escapism, but as a fractured and deeply human framework through which identity is continually constructed, softened, and reimagined.

Spanning abstract painting, sculpture, and functional plant vessels, the exhibition considers the imagined personas, symbols, and narratives people create to navigate contemporary life. Forms drift between humour and discomfort, optimism and fragility, resisting fixed interpretation. Surfaces carry interruptions, opposing materials, and traces of instability, suggesting fantasy as something unresolved rather than idealised.

“Supporting artists and fostering meaningful connections with collectors has always been at the heart of what we do. Over the years, we have helped grow the careers of many artists we’ve worked with, providing a platform for their practice to thrive.”

- Kitty Clark, Founder
