For August 2026, ZIMMERMAN is delighted to present Anivegemin - paintings by Elspeth Shannon, which blur the lines between animal, vegetable and mineral. 

These new works play with weight, form, colour and texture.

"The paintings are a sort of composting of ideas, sensations and memories, worked upon until they become something precious in and of themselves." 

Details of the featured works are beneath the images below.

Come take a look - gallery open hours are 11am to 3pm Thursday to Sunday - exhibition runs until Sunday 30 August.
