The Stillness Between - a Solo Exhibition by Mark Charlton
13 February – 1 March 2026
Tom Cox Gallery is delighted to announce The Stillness Between, a solo exhibition by Mark Charlton, launching in four weeks’ time and opening the gallery’s 2026 exhibition programme.
Charlton has been exhibited by Tom Cox Gallery since its inception in 2021 and following a phenomenal 2025 with his acclaimed Atom Series, this solo presentation marks a significant moment in the evolution of his practice. Working across collage and mixed media, Charlton is an interdisciplinary artist whose work draws inspiration from Brutalism, mid-century design, and the micro and macro structures of the cosmos.
His artworks possess a rare temporal quality, simultaneously grounded and otherworldly, with compositions that feel both ancient and future-facing. Each work is the result of meticulous, evolving experimentation; no two surfaces are alike. The exquisitely rendered patinas of his artworks invite close inspection, while bold geometric forms anchor each piece with quiet confidence.
The Stillness Between presents a new body of work that continues Charlton’s exploration of structure, form and emotion, offering viewers a contemplative encounter with artworks that seem to exist outside of linear time.

From the artist, Mark Charlton
The Stillness Between is an exploration of slow, silent growth formed by fleeting moments that pass quickly, leaving only traces in memory.
Geometric collages inspired by atomic structure explore the slow rhythms of growth shaped by transient moments, reflecting the persistence of time and continuity. Abstract gestures capture moments of emotion, memory and presence that arrive and vanish, sometimes leaving only faint echoes.
The works consider the delicate interplay between permanence and impermanence, structure and feeling, the visible and the remembered. They invite reflection on what endures, what is lost, and the traces left behind in the passage of time.
