During July, galleries will be returning to more regular opening hours and we are here to help you make the most of the cultural calendar coming back to life by sharing our selection of exhibitions to view online and by appointment only.
For July’s by appointment only exhibitions LAF Recommends the solo show by Helen Beard at Thrown, group shows Summer Reflections at JGM Gallery and Radical Figures at Whitechapel Gallery. On the online exhibitions front LAF Recommends: Andrew Litten solo show at Anima Mundi, Architectural Obscura group show at Anise Gallery and the 2020 Slade Degree Show.
ANIMA MUNDI
Andrew Litten depicts the fragility of life with emphasis on the recent world crisis.
His large scale figurative paintings, bronze sculpture and mixed media works on paper are unguarded and raw with nerves and emotion.
JGM GALLERY
An exhibition of diptychs and pairings invoking the power of two. Summer Reflections reveals a deeper understanding of the artist’s intention, as this double act creates an experience that enhances their narratives.
WHITECHAPEL GALLERY
A new generation of artists have revitalised the expressive potential of figuration, charging their vibrant canvases with a social and political undertow. The colourful nature of these paintings after months of sombre narrative is uplifting.
ANISE GALLERY
For London Festival of Architecture Digital (LFA), Anise Gallery is hosting a virtual exhibition exploring our capacity to transform the spaces in which we live and work, investigating the relationship between outside and inside that has become so strained in recent months.
THROWN
Inspired by local landmarks, people and places, Helen Beard uses clay and paper to create works of her everyday surroundings, portraying the familiar ‘sense of space’. Sense of Place highlights the slower pace of life during lockdown and its influence on Beard’s work.
SLADE SCHOOL OF FINE ART
Fine Art students will be hosting two live online events running alongside the showcase – Slade Stream, a video and performance event and Slade Radio, a radio show broadcasting audio work, discussion and talks from graduating students.
