echoes

july 10th - 24th 2026, The summerhouse gallery, marazion

A solo show by Kit Johns

Drawing inspiration from Cornwall’s coastline, Echoes is a new collection of paintings exploring the enduring connection between sea, shore and memory. Created through an instinctive and expressive approach to painting, the works capture fleeting moments of light, atmosphere and emotion, from tranquil horizons to restless seas. Incorporating vintage nautical charts, historic printed materials and found surfaces, the collection reflects on the traces left behind by time and place. Rich in depth, texture and feeling, Echoes invites viewers to reconnect with the restorative power of the sea and discover their own memories and reflections within the landscape.

Echoes opens at 6pm on Friday 10th July, with a private view from 6-8pm. Everyone is welcome
