SARAHCROWN is pleased to announce The Hug, a group show featuring works by Fanny Allié (FR), Pippa El-Kadhi Brown (UK), Andreana Dobreva (DE), and Megan Menzies (UK).
The Hug unfolds as a quiet act shared between bodies, memories, and moments. It is about how we hold one another, and how we try to hold onto what is already slipping away. At its core are interpersonal relationships: the tenderness between people, the ache of yearning, the warmth of a blanket. There is nostalgia—not as something fixed, but as a sensation, half-remembered and still becoming.
The exhibition brings together works by contemporary artists Fanny Allié (FR), Pippa El-Kadhi Brown (UK), Andreana Dobreva (DE), and Megan Menzies (UK). The works range from intimate explorations of the human body to abstract, colorful canvases that hint at objects, people, and fleeting memories. They share playful and fantastical qualities, creating a softened, dreamlike reality. Forms hover between thingness not yet fully formed and emotions not yet named, inviting the viewer into a space of gentle wonder.
The Hug exists as a simple, shared gesture. It reminds us that relationships are built not only through words, but through presence, touch, and quiet attention. An invitation to pause, to feel imperfectly, and to be held. Because in the end, everybody needs a hug.
