Reality as something charged and exciting is what Ishbel Myerscough also keeps noticing in a fine showing at the Lyndsey Ingram gallery. Entitled, cheekily, Stay at Home, Save Lives, it features paintings and drawings made during the Covid lockdown when she and her family were cooped up at home with only themselves and their situation for subjects. The result is a mix of interiors, still lifes and figure studies that sizzle with claustrophobic edginess.
