If you are planning a trip to Shepherd’s Bush Market this May, make time for Rosebud at FreddieFoulkes Gallery. The exhibition runs from 6 to 30 May 2026 and brings together new paintings by Dan Coombs and Sophie Ives. It offers visitors another strong reason to explore the Market and enjoy its growing cultural scene.
The title Rosebud draws on the final word from Citizen Kane, and the exhibition explores memory, longing and the pull of time past. That idea gives the show real emotional depth. However, the work still feels open and inviting, so visitors can connect with it in their own way.
Sophie Ives shows works on paper, collage and paintings on board. Her pieces blur the line between painting and drawing, and they bring energy, movement and strong feeling into the space. Dan Coombs presents figurative paintings that explore solitude, reflection and pleasure. Together, the two artists create a thoughtful exhibition that feels intimate, expressive and human.
This is a good exhibition for regular gallery visitors, but it also suits people who simply want to see something new in West London. You do not need specialist art knowledge to enjoy it. The work speaks through mood, colour and emotion, and that makes the show easy to approach.
FreddieFoulkes Gallery sits at Arch 165 in Shepherd’s Bush Market, so you can easily build your visit into a wider day out. You can spend time with the exhibition and then enjoy the food, shops and character of the Market. That mix of art and local atmosphere makes Rosebud especially appealing.
If you would like to visit, FreddieFoulkes Gallery opens from Wednesday to Saturday. Opening hours are 12pm to 3pm on Wednesday and 11am to 5pm from Thursday to Saturday. You will find the gallery at Arch 165, Shepherd’s Bush Market, Uxbridge Road, London W12 8DF.
This exhibition offers a thoughtful and welcoming way to experience contemporary art in Shepherd’s Bush. So, if you are looking for a cultural stop within the Market, Rosebud is well worth your time.
