Billy Apple®: Rainbows 1965 | The Mayor Gallery
Showing until 27th July 2022
Billy Apple was a contemporary artist credited with being the first to use electric light as a sculptural medium, a method and form of art that was beginning to attract attention and galvanise the art world and its observers in the 1960s. Apple was scientifically curious and motivated, his works always innovative and demonstrating an acute understanding of both current and upcoming technologies. In his solo exhibition in 1965, Apple used the rainbow as his central motif and his vessel to communicate his fascination with light and colour, and now - for the first time since this exhibition - all the pieces that were presented then will be back together on show at the Mayor Gallery. The exhibition transports us back to a time where electric art was a rarity and the conventional art was pigments and paint. Apple termed his studies as an exploration of an ‘electric palette’ and a visual representation of refraction, reflection and pure physical form of light.
Feminine Power: The Divine to the Demonic | The British Museum
Showing until 25th September 2022
Female power and divinity has been a source of interest and contention throughout different cultures for many millennia. In this landmark exhibition at The British Museum, artworks and artefacts from around the globe tracing back to ancient societies are exhibited together to explore femininity, feminine power and its varied depictions throughout history. Women have been represented since time began as multi vessel beings, with the potential for purity, wisdom and power but also war, wickedness and vengeance. The exhibition is complemented with ‘thought pieces’ throughout, in which special guest contributors offer their musings and knowledge of different topics within the complex discussion of the representation of female energy and life. This powerful exhibition combines ancient and contemporary observations of femininity and is enhanced by the engagement of contemporary religious and spiritual communities, as well as the discernments of high-profile feminists such as Bonnie Greer, Mary Beard, Elizabeth Day, Rabia Siddique and Deborah Frances-White. Utilising the past, the exhibition explores the legacy of these pieces, as well as what they can tell us about the perception of femininity today
Angela Santana | Saatchi Yates
Showing until 31st August 2022
Saatchi Yates is currently home to over 14 pieces by the wondrous Angela Santana, a contemporary Swiss artist who lives and works in New York City. Her style is unique characterised by a synergy of digital and classical painting. Currently on display at Saatchi Yates are over fourteen of her paintings, which both explore and reject the male gaze and its coupled fantasy. Her works utilise the numerous illicit images that populate the internet today and seeks to transform digital objectification of the female body to the subject of empowering art. Santana’s large-scale oil paintings are based on the layering and combining of hundreds of digital artworks – her practice radically disrupts the traditional approach to painting and rejects the male gaze.

Female power and divinity has been a source of interest and contention throughout different cultures for many millennia. In this landmark exhibition at The British Museum, artworks and artefacts from around the globe tracing back to ancient societies are exhibited together to explore femininity, feminine power and its varied depictions throughout history. Women have been represented since time began as multi vessel beings, with the potential for purity, wisdom and power but also war, wickedness and vengeance. The exhibition is complemented with ‘thought pieces’ throughout, in which special guest contributors offer their musings and knowledge of different topics within the complex discussion of the representation of female energy and life. This powerful exhibition combines ancient and contemporary observations of femininity and is enhanced by the engagement of contemporary religious and spiritual communities, as well as the discernments of high-profile feminists such as Bonnie Greer, Mary Beard, Elizabeth Day, Rabia Siddique and Deborah Frances-White. Utilising the past, the exhibition explores the legacy of these pieces, as well as what they can tell us about the perception of femininity today
Angela Santana | Saatchi Yates
Showing until 31st August 2022
Saatchi Yates is currently home to over 14 pieces by the wondrous Angela Santana, a contemporary Swiss artist who lives and works in New York City. Her style is unique characterised by a synergy of digital and classical painting. Currently on display at Saatchi Yates are over fourteen of her paintings, which both explore and reject the male gaze and its coupled fantasy. Her works utilise the numerous illicit images that populate the internet today and seeks to transform digital objectification of the female body to the subject of empowering art. Santana’s large-scale oil paintings are based on the layering and combining of hundreds of digital artworks – her practice radically disrupts the traditional approach to painting and rejects the male gaze.
