Coinciding with Frieze London 2026, HOFA Gallery presents States of Becoming, a compelling group exhibition bringing together seventeen international contemporary artists whose practices challenge the boundaries of material, form and perception.

Bringing together seventeen international artists, the exhibition investigates the space between what we see and what we feel. Through intricate processes of construction, layering, fragmentation and transformation, each artist challenges the boundaries of their chosen medium, revealing new dimensions of meaning beneath the visible surface.
The exhibition also introduces Bernardo Peruta and Jane Puylagarde within HOFA's evolving artistic programme, placing their practices in dialogue with established gallery artists and creating fresh connections across disciplines, cultures and artistic languages.
At its heart, States of Becoming asks a simple question: What lies beyond what the eye can see?
