Huma Bhabha’s exhibition Against Time, focusses on the figure. Bhabha’s work addresses themes of colonialism, war, displacement and memories of home. Her influences are wide ranging, from ancient Egyptian statuary, African art, Classicism, Cubism and German Expressionism to science fiction and horror films. This exhibition spans the last two decades of Bhabha’s work, bringing together an impressive cast […] In this exhibition, which they have curated, Christine and Jennifer Binnie use their own work to complement pieces chosen from the Gallery's collection. The exhibition guides the visitor through a journey that reflects on and embraces our place in this changing world, exploring themes of nature, the body, meaning and the cycles of life. They […] Can You Hear Me? by Nalini Malani is a commissioned work, which embodys the role of the artist as social activist. In her exhibition Malani gives voice to the marginalised through visual stories which often take the form of multi-layered, immersive installations, exploring themes of violence, feminism, politics, racial tensions and post-colonial legacies. The space of the gallery is transformed by a series of Trulee Hall’s self-contained, elaborate vignettes – the viewer moves through discordant scenes, each presenting a tangled meta-narrative. Installations comprising video, sculpture, paintings, composed soundtracks, and kinetic mechanisms create dense environments that invite the visitor to step around, peep through, and settle in, allowing a […] Installation artist and sculptor Susie MacMurray presents 'Murmur' - a compelling body of work comprising tactile and thought-provoking sculptures, an ambitious new installation, intricate drawings, striking bronze works and silver jewellery. Known for her unique fusing of materials, MacMurray's show promises to be unforgettable. Mainly focusing on the figure, Huma Bhabha’s work addresses themes of colonialism, war, displacement and memories of home. Her influences are wide ranging, from ancient Egyptian statuary, African art, Classicism, Cubism and German Expressionism to science fiction and horror films. This exhibition spans the last two decades of Bhabha’s work, bringing together an impressive cast […] Our latest commission, Forest on Fire, developed by contemporary artist Lucy Skaer is available for viewing digitally. The installation is inspired by the image of the Tauroctony, the iconic centrepiece of Roman Mithraic mysteries. The Tauroctony depicts the god Mithras slaying a bull, surrounded by strange but precise images telling the story of recreation and the […] This is a major exhibition of existing and new work by South Korean artist Haegue Yang, who is renowned for her vast and non-binary artistic languages. The materiality and aesthetics of her work are derived from her inventive methods, from using industrial and everyday materials to labour-intensive and craft-based procedures that create creature-like sculptures. The resulting […] Rajni Perera’s bold and intricately crafted paintings, sculptures, textile works, and installations explore issues of ancestorship, hybridity, futurity, and identity through the lens of science fiction. Influenced by a range of visual references including Indian miniaturisim, Astro-blackness, paleontology, magical realism, scientific illustration and fashion as well as her personal experiences of migration, Perera’s works evoke […] ‘Lost Summer’ is a solo exhibition of new work by Alys Tomlinson. The Lost Summer series consists of Tomlinson ́s recent prom portraits photographed in June 2020 as lockdown eased and is accompanied by ‘Night Wanderings’, taken during lockdown as part of the artist’s daily exercise. The prom portraits capture the poignancy of a lost summer […] In this landmark exhibition, Tracey Emin selects masterpieces by Edvard Munch to show alongside her most recent paintings. The exhibition features more than 25 of Emin’s works including paintings, some of which will be on display for the first time, plus neons and sculpture. These works, which explore The Loneliness of the Soul, were chosen by […] Lynette Yiadom-Boakye is an artist and writer acclaimed for her enigmatic portraits of fictitious people. This exhibition, Fly in League with the Night, brings together around 80 paintings and works on paper from 2003 to the present day in the most extensive survey of the artist’s career to date. The figures in Yiadom-Boakye’s paintings are not real […] This survey exhibition includes paintings and drawings from the past decade alongside recent work. Jennifer Packer is known for painting intimate portraits of friends and family members, and flower still lifes. Working from a combination of observation, improvisation and memory, Packer’s paintings and large-scale drawings reveal an emotional and physical fragility of life. Characterised by […] Works by Kenturah Davis, Mary Kelly and Agnes Martin in Lines of Thought, an exhibition exploring the poetics and politics of language. Important unseen work by Kelly and new ‘text drawings’ and weavings by Davis enter into conversation with the hand-drawn lines and gridded compositions of Martin’s works on paper. Aliza Nisenbaum is best known for her bright, large-scale portraits of community groups. Inspired by the dedication of Liverpool's key workers, the artist created a series of new paintings of NHS staff from Merseyside who worked tirelessly for their community during the pandemic. The exhibition captures the stories of frontline NHS workers and highlights the […] The first in a 12-month programme dedicated to the writings of the German-born, American political philosopher Hannah Arendt, ‘The Modern Age’ extends Arendt’s examination of tradition and the modern age into the twentieth and twenty-first centuries or what she understood as “the modern world.” We are living through a very difficult period of history marked […] Emma Cousin’s figurative paintings feature dynamic, carnivalesque scenarios that explore the space between realism and fantasy, felt experience and communication. Responding to the limitations of language when used to articulate the complexities of human experience and emotions, Cousin considers how we might interact without it, in pre- or post-linguistic states. Taking this idea of ‘the […] Liz Fontaine works with performance, drawing, text and video. Concerned with sex, relationships, people and politics, her live performances are excruciatingly funny: filled with heartbreak, devastation and charm. In Hurt Agony Pain Love It, Fontaine's compulsive, titillating and densely detailed drawings take the viewer on a journey through her mind. Part diary, part fantasy and part […] In ‘Mercy’, Sabine Moritz presents a selection of paintings, works on paper and, for the first time, photographs, encapsulating the full-range of the artist’s practice. Collectively, the works in the show reflect upon and respond to the unprecedented political, economic and environmental shifts of the last 12 months, which, compounded by an incessant, global news […] |

Taking inspiration from Central Core Imagery, this two-part online exhibition explores the work of leading female ceramicists: Lynda Benglis, with her Bird’s Nest Series; Zoe Williams creates unwearable shoes; and Jacqueline Poncelet creates abstract forms infused with sexuality. They all use central core imagery – whether explicitly or not – through the ‘open’ form.
