Fresh was Soma's opening exhibition in June 2004. Anthony Burrill, Jon Burgerman, Container & Anna Rosa Krau, Richard May and Dettmer E. Otto exhibited work.

Fresh represents a different and exciting approach to modern art and design in Bristol. All of the artists exhibiting work in thought-provoking and innovative ways, while most have never exhibited in Bristol before. London based Container and Anna Rosa Krau's imagery combines photography with drawing. Jon Burgerman's characters painted on cardboard are charming and witty. Ex Spike Islander Dettmer E. Otto's screenprints and artist books are loud and bright. Anthony Burrill's prints are graphic and bold contrasting with Richard May's detailed and scratchy illustrations
