By the Light of the Candle

24th January - 21st March 2026

Liminal Gallery

A group exhibition which brings together artists Eloise Knight, Megan Menzies, Grace Tobin and Maud Whatley in an exploration of intimacy, illumination and shadow, at the Liminal Gallery in Margate

Open Thursday, Friday & Saturday 11am - 4pm

Through tender and evocative works, the exhibition traces the flicker between passion and restraint, desire and quiet reflection.

Across painting and drawing, the exhibition is united by a sensitivity to atmosphere and emotional nuance, favouring slowness, softness and ambiguity over clarity. Light operates as both a material and a metaphor, shaping how moments, bodies and interiors are revealed or obscured, and echoing the ways memory and feeling alter perception. Familiar scenes appear gently distorted or partially withheld, as if recalled rather than directly observed.

Collectively, the works consider how everyday experiences can carry intense emotional and sensual charge. Subtle shifts in perspective, scale and focus create a dreamlike quality, where repetition and fragmentation mirror the rhythms of thought, longing and recollection. Rather than spectacle, intimacy is built through touch, proximity and suggestion, allowing erotic tension to surface quietly and gradually. Light functions as both a revealer and an obscurer, a flicker that heightens sensation while leaving much unresolved.
