Aaron Jolley at Eye Feast 2026: three works, three media, one wry eye
Regent's Park Gallery · 1 June 2026
Three works from Aaron Jolley for Eye Feast 2026, each in a different medium and each looking at the everyday with the same dry attention: an oil painting on a wooden block, an oil on board, and a ceramic plate. The thread between them is a quietly humorous eye — for objects, for chance pairings, for the small details of a working life.
About the artist
Aaron Jolley is a London-based painter whose practice ranges across painting, drawing and ceramics. His subjects lean towards the everyday — domestic objects, food packaging, working life — handled with care and a wry sense of humour that rewards close looking. He came into Eye Feast 2026 through the gallery's open call.
The work in the show
After The Yoghurt — £150
Oil on a wooden block, framed. A small, considered piece — the kind that sits well on a shelf or above a desk and reveals more of itself the longer you look. Aaron's smallest Eye Feast work and a good entry point into his practice.
Two Cans — £250
Oil on board, framed. Two cans on a surface — the title doubling as a quiet pun. A study in restraint: the work is in the placement, the colour weight, and what's deliberately left out of the picture.
About My Job — £550
Ceramic plate, 25 × 25 × 2 cm, hung directly on the wall. A genuinely different piece in Aaron's batch and Eye Feast's only ceramic plate. Hand-formed and decorated, with the technical confidence and visual humour that runs through all three works. The newest of the three — added specifically for the show.
Coming up at Regent's Park Gallery
A two-person show featuring Aaron Jolley and Keith Bird opens on Friday 3 July 2026 at Regent's Park Gallery, just one week after Eye Feast closes. Both artists' Eye Feast pieces are a preview — the two-person show will bring a fuller selection of each of their practices.
Where to see the work
All three works are in Eye Feast 2026 at Regent's Park Gallery, 17 Princess Road, London NW1 8JR, from 5 June to 27 June 2026. Prices £150 to £550.
