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. 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 […] ‘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 […] 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 […] 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 […] 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 […] 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 […] An online exhibition of works by Rachel Kneebone forms a dialogue with the artist Robert Morris and the avant-garde choreography of Mary Wigman and Merce Cunningham. ‘I have always been fascinated by dance: how bodies meld and merge, how new forms are created by dancers and how dance allows us to escape to a different […] A major new commission and solo exhibition by Candice Lin, comprising a virtual reality animation, flesh-like sculptures and a large-scale medieval trebuchet. The exhibition Nomi presents a focused body of work that was born from grief and trauma. Over the past two years, Zoe Buckman has undertaken a difficult, complex and spiritual journey resulting in a tentative yet defiant proclamation of love and joy as an antidote to the darker side of life. From a real voyage in […] 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. Jessie Homer French’s exhibition, West Coast, brings together a vast range of works that encompasses a thorough investigation of the artist’s long-time practice. Elene Chantladze's exhibition, August War, includes a selection of both new and earlier work, showing her breadth of painterly technique and, material, exploration. Vanessa Baird’s work is story telling of a kind that is both potently provocative and emphatically individual. Her charged creations, made in pastel and watercolour, range from room-size murals to intimate self-portraits and draw on a wide range of references from her own lived experiences, as well as from Scandinavian folklore and literature. This exhibition, If ever there were an end to a story […] On the deeds of many houses in Southchurch there is a covenant stating; residents are not allowed to make bricks or tiles from the clay underneath their feet, a seam nestled in the soil they walk on daily. Emma Edmondson will be exploring the untold history of local brickfields to create a permanent artwork formed […] |

Her figurative paintings frequently begin with writing, a way of sketching with words that offers an unconventional path to pictorial themes, accessing what she has termed the ‘natural order of your random imagination.

As with any group exhibition, it is always intriguing to note the threads that connect the work.
