About Arthaus
Arthaus is an inclusive community of young people aged 15 – 19 years who share a passion for art. It is an opportunity to meet regularly at the gallery to connect with like-minded individuals, socialise, collaborate and embrace new experiences. It is a space for alternative voices, self-expression, inspiration and creative freedom.

About ‘An Uncommon Thread’
‘An Uncommon Thread’ features 10 contemporary artists living and working in the UK. The group exhibition highlights the transformative power of unconventional mediums in evoking personal and collective memories. Through individual investigations of identity, tradition, nature, fantasy and the environment, the artists invite viewers to engage with the rich stories woven into each work.

This multidisciplinary exhibition follows ‘Present Tense’ (2024) and is part of an ongoing initiative at Hauser & Wirth Somerset that champions emerging and mid-career artists beyond Hauser & Wirth’s roster. The exhibition is in collaboration with Alice Black, Berntson Bhattacharjee, Carl Freedman Gallery, Gathering, Ginny on Frederick, Pippy Houldsworth Gallery and Union Pacific.

‘An Uncommon Thread’ is on view from 8 February – 21 April 2025.

About Georg Wilson
Georg Wilson is a British painter whose practice explores ecology and history, translated through personal experience and folklore. Her paintings follow the seasons, so that her subject and palette changes with the turn of the year. Wilson aims to confront the historical painterly narrative of England, and she tells strange stories of an imagined landscape in which humanity is absent. Her scenes are populated with creatures, more ‘animal’ than any particular gender.

Wilson’s work has been exhibited internationally including: Berntson Bhattacharjee Gallery, London, UK; Public Service Gallery, Stockholm, Sweden; Palazzo Monti, Brescia, Italy; and Saatchi Gallery, London, UK.
