A collection of flower paintings on canvas from Anne-Marie Butlin's own garden.
Martha Jungwirth's exhibition centres around a new body of large-scale, oil on paper paintings mounted on linen. These works continue to develop Jungwirth’s expressive language that combines the haptic physicality of brushstrokes, hand gestures, paint splashes and splatters with a sensitive restraint, often leaving large sections of her brown paper empty and allowing the residual oil of her […]
This show, Together, presents a group of Sikelela Owen's most recent paintings following her residency at the British School at Rome. Sikelela paints the people that give her a sense of belonging, ranging from family and friends to other Londoners in her community.

‘Of Course You Are’ the title of Diane Dal-Pra’s exhibition, is the response to a preceding question, the demand for approval and the response an affirmation to the subject delivered despite the masking of each large scale portrait. Dal-Pra’s principal concern is that of identity, the choices we make in the presentation of our bodies to […]

This exhibition celebrates the remarkable influence of women gallerists in post-war Paris. At a time when it was still confoundingly hard for women artists to get established, in 1951 one in three galleries in Paris were actually run by women. Often referred to as the “Papesses de l’art abstrait”, loosely translated into "high priestesses of […]
The exhibition, The Abstract Truth of Things features drawings by Charmaine Watkiss and paintings by Andrew Pierre Hart, plus the feature of a soundscape. The lockdown in the UK created an opportunity for the artists to meet and engage on social media platforms where they conducted a series of discussions to develop the meeting point of […]

It continues the spirit of our Modern Masters series and allows for the celebration of the pioneering, persistent, creative women artists at the end of the 19th century, and all the curators, gallerists and individual talents who […]

Aimée Parrott's practice encompasses painting, printing, sculpture, artist books, murals and installation. The artist's understanding of painting, her primary medium, informs the ideas expressed throughout her practice as a whole. Approaching the canvas as a fragile and permeable boundary - a metaphorical skin or body that holds the trace of time, thought and gesture - […]

Evelyn and William De Morgan have been described as ‘two of the rarest spirits of the age’. Evelyn’s paintings bear the influence of early Italian Renaissance art as well as that of her Pre-Raphaelite contemporaries, yet have a distinctive style. In addition, her paintings projected her political concerns, and she created many pictures in response […]

Toyin Ojih Odutola proposes speculative fictions, inviting the viewer to enter her vision of an uncannily familiar yet fantastical world. Working like an author or poet, she often spends months creating extensive imaginary narratives, which play out through a series of works to suggest a structure of episodes or chapters. Drawing on an eclectic range […]
Tamar Mason’s practice encompasses textiles, sculpture, ceramics and architecture. The artist’s choice of media, traditionally associated with women's work, ornament, and domesticity, confronts perceived divisions between art and craft, and allows Mason to integrate artistic practices more closely into daily life. Her work further explores the intersections of male and female, urban and rural, Western and African, […]

Simultaneously celebrating, exploiting and subverting feminine craft skills such as crocheting and embroidery, Richardson's home-made objects stir the unconscious of domesticity and femininity and their […]
