Hidden UK, Hidden Ireland is currently taking place at the Flowers Gallery Kingsland Road this summer, featuring the works of more than twenty artists. In this selection of works, Scully reflects on an "entire society of devoted, dedicated, faith based painters, who work quietly in studios large and small, in towns and villages all over the UK and Ireland." He says, "For the most part, they make something with their hands, that is material based, coaxing an image with a body, into being – working, not so differently from other painters throughout history. I haven’t actually curated an exhibition, I’ve chosen work and people who interest me, and put them together, with myself included... I wanted to bring what I could of this work together, and shine a light on it."

Exhibiting artists include:
Johnny Abrahams, John Bratby, Matthew Collings, Diana Copperwhite, Maysaloun Faraj, Liza Giles, Jane Goodwin, Andrew Graves, Jane Griffin, Bill Henderson, Nicholas Herbert, Steve Joy, Denis Kelly, David Lendrum, Abhayavajra Newman, Kathryn Maple, Jim MacAirt, Hannah Ní Mhaonaigh, Aaron Moroney, Mark Osborne, Declen Patten, Sam Peacock, Liam Scully, Sean Scully, Bill Stewart, and Adam David Taylor.
