About CPAOH
“The 2025 Crystal Palace Artists’ Open House is a vibrant celebration of our community’s creative spirit. Now in its fifth year, the event offers a unique opportunity to connect with talented artists, designers, and makers who enrich SE19 and beyond with their work. From contemporary art to handcrafted designs, each piece tells a story, reflecting the rich creative heritage of Crystal Palace—a tradition that began with The Great Exhibition of 1854 and continues today. The event is about more than just art; it’s about community. By taking part, you’re helping to sustain the creative energy that makes Crystal Palace such a special place.”
Exhibiting Artists

Tom Norman - @tomonorman_art
Tom’s abstract paintings explore subconscious emotional states and responses to both the existential and the everyday. Working primarily with acrylic paint, his process begins with visual prompts — what he calls “eating with my eyes” — or emotional responses drawn from somatic therapeutic practice. His work is defined by sensitive colour relationships, structural counterpoints, and shallow layering techniques that evoke emotional resonance.

Luana Asiata - www.luanaasiata.com
Luana is an award-winning London based abstract artist. She is a full-time artist, returning to her love of art at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 after raising her young family. Luana works primarily in a semi abstract impressionist style, she employs gestural brushstrokes, utilising oils and acrylics to express how she feels and where she’s been. Her paintings explore the power of nature and immersive landscapes that link back to her childhood. Those memories often find their way into the rhythm of her work.

Jonny lives in southeast London. Graduating with BA English in 2011, he worked as an English teacher until July 2023. He left teaching to pursue a new career as an artist.
He's explored the importance of community through his ‘South Drawood ’exhibition, celebrating the people of South Norwood, his local area. These were drawn in his distinctive style of fine liner pen. In 2023, he was a contestant on Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year, drawing the BAFTA-winning actor Lenny Rush.
