A Quiet Meeting of Light with Form: Gregor Törzs and Gwyn Hanssen Pigott at Erskine, Hall & Coe

Gazing at a simple object we gloss over in the bustle of daily life for a long time can reveal its hidden light and formal existence. Erskine, Hall & Coe gallery in Mayfair brings together two distinct disciplines united by a passion for material and form in the same serene atmosphere in the exhibition “Where Light Meets Form,” running from September 3 to 26, 2026.

Juxtaposing the works of German photographer Gregor Törzs and Australian ceramic artist Gwyn Hanssen Pigott (1935–2013), the selection proves how light, arrangement, and attentive gaze can transform objects. Törzs brings fluorescent uranium glass vessels photographed under ultraviolet light to the exhibition with 13 platinum-palladium prints on Japanese paper. Filtered through the photographer’s lens, these glass vessels gain an unexpected radiance and a unique character, virtually emitting their own light in the dark.

Ceramic master Gwyn Hanssen Pigott, whom we lost in recent years, aligns her porcelain vessels to transform the traditional understanding of still life into a poetic spatial arrangement. Observing a delicate balance between form, color, and void, these arrangements take shape through the quiet dialogue individual ceramic objects establish with one another.

Though producing with different materials and techniques, both artists harbor a shared sensitivity to the unpretentious presence of objects and the transformative power of the gaze. Continuing through the end of September, this gathering invites the viewer to slow down, feel the distance between objects, and discover that fragile threshold where light meets form.
