A Tragedy of Infinite Beauty is a solo exhibition by Doug & Mike Starn at HackelBury Fine Art, London W8.  On the exhibition website Doug & Mike explain “The cloud is the inevitable thought, the thing with no permanent shape, drifting through the clarity of blue and silent mind. As the cloud changes continually, the watcher only watches it until losing interest, and as awareness of it slips by, the thought’s gone out of sight. They always will be — old, worn, and always new.” 

The exhibition runs from 8th October 2025 to 28th February 2026 and in it the artists present new works which reflect on impermanence, perception, and the tension between beauty and destruction. The two series on view, Under the Sky and Everything Is Liquid, explore the overwhelming yet often unnoticed forces – atmospheric, emotional, geological, and cultural – which shape our lives.
