Imagined Realities:
Pulse and Pattern

Featuring works by Sabri Sundos, Shannon Carroll, and Sophie Kitching

Tyte Gallery is pleased to present Imagined Realities: Pulse and Pattern, a three-artist exhibition on view from February 21 - April 12, 2026. The exhibition brings together painting, embroidery, and layered material practices to explore memory, transformation, and the enduring agency of the hand.

Featuring works by Sabri Sundos, Shannon Carroll, and Sophie Kitching, the exhibition brings together artists whose practices explore memory, transformation, and the continued agency of making art. Working across painting, embroidery, and layered materials, the artists create visual spaces that invite viewers into spaces of contemplation and slowness. Living and working in New York City, the artists respond to environments shaped by control and abundance, where nature is constrained and engineered. Traditional craft and cultural iconography are woven into intuitive gesture and abstract experimentation. Pattern emerges through repetition, labor, and touch. Through cycles of growth, decomposition, and renewal, the works reflect on how memory lives in the body and in materials, shifting through use and time. Through abstraction and gesture, each artist explores worlds marked by a desire for renewal. Together, these works create space for reflection, offering a visual and sensory respite from controlled environments.

About the Artists

Sabri Sundos
Rooted in his experience of being raised in the diaspora, Sabri Sundos’ practice explores identity, labor, and time through painting and textile-based processes. Merging traditional craft techniques with cultural iconography, his work foregrounds the agency of the human hand and the tactile nature of art-making as a way of reclaiming and preserving heritage. Based in New York City, Sundos creates layered surfaces shaped by repetition, touch, and material transformation, fostering dialogue around tradition, memory, and an enduring sense of hope for the future.

Shannon Carroll
Shannon Carroll is a New York-based artist whose abstract paintings explore memory, transformation, and the emotional weight of lived experience. Working on raw canvas with acrylic and oil stick, she creates luminous color fields punctuated by urgent gestural marks and chalkboard-like erasure. Her paintings evoke charged landscapes that simultaneously form and dissolve, inviting viewers into spaces that feel both intimate and expansive. Carroll’s recent body of work emerged following her return to the studio after a period of profound personal loss. Through gesture, layering, and subtraction, her paintings move through cycles of growth, rupture, and renewal, using abstraction as a means of processing time, grief, and continuation. Her work offers contemplative environments where emotion is explored rather than resolved.

Sophie Kitching
Working across painting, installation, and sculpture, Sophie Kitching’s practice responds to natural phenomena and the built environment through found materials, color, and form. Merging nature and architecture, Kitching explores landscape as an active medium, shaped by memory, movement, and perception. Rather than creating images, Kitching builds spaces that invite the viewer into a physical and sensory negotiation with depth, surface, and scale. Her compositions move between gestural brushwork and raw material structure, opening up environments where the seen and unseen, the constructed and the organic, coexist.
