Jennifer Packer @ Serpentine Gallery

“My inclination to paint, especially from life, is a completely political one. We belong here. We deserve to be seen and acknowledged in real time. We deserve to be heard and to be imaged with shameless generosity and accuracy.” – Jennifer Packer

This exhibition, The Eye is not Satisfied With Seeing, includes paintings and drawings from the past decade alongside recent work.
