Two Sides Of Sunday by Theo Bardsley
Sept 20th - Oct 11th 2025


Court Tree Collective is please to announce the debut solo exhibition by Theo Bardsley. Through a mix of observation and memory, Two Sides of Sunday explores the tension between solitude and connection, ritual and randomness. The quiet intimacy and unexpected encounters that define the week’s most reflective day.

Theo Bardsley is a London-based figurative painter whose large-scale portraits blur the boundaries between past and present. While each work begins with reality—often grounded in a direct reference photo—the paintings frequently take on a life of their own. Everyday encounters, whether moments in the pub, intimate exchanges, or fleeting daily interactions, are transformed into scenes charged with narrative depth and layered with art historical resonance.

With his background in Art History, Theo draws on a wide range of influences to build rich textures and meanings across the canvas. His work invites viewers to pause and reflect, uncovering echoes of both personal memory and collective history within his portraits.












Court Tree Collective is an art gallery committed to pushing boundaries in close collaboration with the artists it represents. Its program is rooted in original, thought-provoking work that resists easy categorization, rejecting the confines of traditional labels in favor of a distinct energy and point of view. More than a conventional gallery, it operates as a living, evolving space driven by instinct
and a shared creative momentum that challenges the norms of the art world.

Founded and run independently by Stephen Lipuma and Amy Ng, Court Tree Collective exists outside the influence of corporate structures and the often exclusionary traditions of the industry. Sustained through alternative means and guided by an artist-first ethos, the gallery reflects the lived experience of its founders, who continue to embrace risk as an essential part of their practice. Drawing from counterculture, heritage, pop, skateboarding, music, and everyday life, the gallery cultivates a hybrid sensibility, where outsider perspectives and formal training intersect to create something immediate, raw, and resonant.︎
