Championing London’s Creative Future with Fantastical Autonomy by Jorge Jobim
London’s art scene just got a serious shake-up. Enter Tache, a daring new gallery in the heart of Fitzrovia, throwing open its doors on 7 March 2025. Forget stuffy galleries and unreachable highbrow spaces—Tache is flipping the script. Its mission? To nurture and showcase emerging artists who are ready to break free from the industry’s tired barriers. This isn’t just another white-walled exhibition space—it’s a creative playground designed for experimentation, mentorship, and real artistic growth.
And what better way to launch than with a spectacle of colour and sound? Tache’s inaugural exhibition, Fantastical Autonomy by Jorge Jobim, promises an immersive journey through vibrant oil paintings, hypnotic photography, and—yes—a live jazz performance at the gallery’s official launch on 6 March, 6–8 pm. This is not your typical Thursday night.
Tache Gallery: A Fresh Hub for Creative Innovation
Located at 33 Percy Street in Fitzrovia—a buzzing hub of artistic energy—Tache isn’t here to play it safe. Founded with a laser focus on early-career artists, the gallery champions fresh talent through mentorship, advocacy, and an artist-first commission model. It’s designed to break down the barriers many emerging artists face, offering a space that feels supportive, not stifling.
Inspired by the energy of London’s famed degree shows, Tache brings international voices and diverse practices to the forefront. For creatives hungry for their first solo show or professional exhibition, this gallery is set to be a game-changer.
Fantastical Autonomy: Jorge Jobim’s Bold Exploration of Self
Leading the charge is Tache’s debut exhibition, Fantastical Autonomy, featuring the unmistakable work of Jorge Jobim—a force of creativity who effortlessly bridges painting, photography, and jazz. Running from 7 March to 10 April 2025, the show is a psychedelic journey into the depths of the self, blending spontaneity with introspection.
Jobim’s large-scale oil paintings explode with colour, pulling viewers into hypnotic patterns that blur the line between chaos and clarity. His process thrives on improvisation—much like his jazz background—where intention meets pure chance in a swirl of visual harmonics. Think vibrant branches intertwining with octopuses, creating symbolic nods to personal entanglements and inner conflict.
Where Music Meets Visual Art: A Multi-Sensory Experience
What makes Fantastical Autonomy truly unique is how it echoes Jobim’s musical side. Each canvas hums with a quiet rhythm, patterns colliding like notes in a melody. During the launch event on 6 March, guests can witness Jobim in his element as he brings this connection full circle with a live jazz performance.
One of the exhibition’s most striking features is a 10-meter-long canvas suspended from the ceiling. Visitors are invited to sit beneath this vibrant masterpiece, letting the waves of colour and form wash over them—an experience designed to engage the senses fully.
Photography That Grounds the Psychedelic
Jobim’s exploration doesn’t stop with paint and melody. His photographic works, also showcased in Fantastical Autonomy, offer moments of grounding. Shot at Speakers’ Corner in London and Tinghir, Morocco, these images bathe in bright, dreamlike light. They carry the same ethereal quality as his paintings but offer moments of stillness and reflection.
For Jobim, photography is a deeply personal act—a way of connecting to his surroundings and himself. “I view the self as a fire—something you can’t get too close to or define by shape,” he reflects. This philosophy burns through every piece, igniting an emotional resonance that lingers long after the exhibition ends.
