The exhibition features new and important historical works that explore a breadth of media including painting, sculpture, textiles and drawing and brings together a diverse and esteemed group of artists from around the world.
New and recent work by Leilah Babirye, Jeffrey Gibson and Yinka Shonibare CBE RA, who all feature in the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, are included. Artists who recently joined the gallery are highlighted, and they include Claire Woods’ imposing new still life painting and Woody De Othello’s bold and theatrical sculptures and paintings. Kenturah Davis’s striking double portrait and Jim Hodges’ large new hand- stitched denim panel painted with 24 carat gold are also exhibited.
