SUMMARY:Eileen Cooper: Ambivalence and Desire
DESCRIPTION:This summer\, a new exhibition of unseen drawings by Eileen Cooper RA\, spanning the years 1977 to 1983\, will go on display at Huxley-Parlour\, London.  \nAs well as giving an insight into Cooper’s early practice\, this exhibition looks to contextualise her work as fundamentally linked to the radical feminist politics of that era. The exhibition also highlights her as a bold\, uncompromising voice of the time. \n\n\n\n\nIn this seminal group of works on paper\, unseen until now\, Cooper presents the fraught energy of this period in history\, including the fight for sexual and political freedom. The drawings chart a formative six years for the artist\, between graduation from the RCA and the birth of her first child. Cooper’s drawings from this period chronicle an intense investigation of personal identity and sexuality\, but also represent experimentation with process\, material and form. \nThese works come from a time when many of her female contemporaries were eschewing drawing and painting in favour of performance and conceptual practices. Cooper’s unflinching and figurative works on paper are therefore radical in both their choice of medium and their subject matter. Although many works are abstracted\, the subject matter remains highly personal and highly charged. Cooper states that the works ‘laid the groundwork’ for themes and motifs that her later career would come to encompass. \n\nVisit Huxley-Parlour’s website for more details.

SUMMARY:Nicholas Ferguson / Perspective
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition explores the topic of Perspective\, recognising as stated in the poem\, that there are as many perspectives in any given situation as there are eyes in a room. An exhibition by Nicholas Ferguson at Coningsby Gallery. \n  \n“What if art is the elixir to human suffering?” \nI believe imagination\, expressed through the arts\, has the power to transform lives and society. \nMy work explores this premise. \n  \nNicholas Ferguson is a British-Swiss artist and poet\, born and raised in Lausanne\, Switzerland. In 2005 he moved to London\, feeling the pull of the ‘big smoke’\, and the city has been his home ever since. His work features playful and occasionally provocative illustrations of life\, often poking fun at himself\, society and our human idiosyncrasies. The intention is to cause the viewer to consider how they’d rather see the world. \nHis practice centres mainly around oil painting and makes use of collage and other mediums to create impact. This exhibition explores the topic of Perspective\, recognising as stated in the poem\, that there are as many perspectives in any given situation as there are eyes in a room. \nFind more information and how to visit here.

SUMMARY:Trash Dolls - Aurel Schmidt Solo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:GLASSHOUSE presents Trash Dolls\, a solo exhibition of recent drawings by New York based artist Aurel Schmidt. \nThe works that make up Trash Dolls are the latest in an ongoing series of the same name: since 2019\, Schmidt has been transforming the detritus of her environment into characters that embody the psychosomatic effects of a fast-paced life in the big city. The are formed out of an urban vernacular\, the rot and refuse found lining the gutters of New York’s streets or littering an apartment in the aftermath of a late night. Using exquisite draughtsmanship\, Schmidt catalogues and reconstitutes the sediment of downtown parties and alley way trash heaps\, at once satirising and playfully celebrating hedonistic city living. \nFor more details click visit GLASSHOUSE’s website.

SUMMARY:WAVE: Currents in Japanese Graphic Arts
DESCRIPTION:Explore the vibrant diversity of Japanese graphic arts in this bold exhibition which bridges the worlds of fine art\, commercial illustration and counterculture. Presented by Japan House in London. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe work of a selection of 60 Japanese artists is presented\, with late 20th-century innovators Tanaami Keiichi and Yumura Teruhiko featured alongside a number of emerging artists being exhibited for the first time in the UK. \nGraphic arts featured in the exhibition include elements of pop art\, surrealism and illustration\, as well as the concept of heta-uma\, which translates as ‘bad\, but good’\, and refers to apparently unskilled art which reveals greater merit upon close inspection. Emerging in the underground manga magazine GARO in the 1970s\, heta-uma challenges our perspective of what is ‘ugly’ or ‘beautiful’ and our definitions of art itself. \nVariety and anarchy are ever-present in WAVE\, with Jenny kaori’s bold\, punky depictions of girlhood juxtaposed against Yukishita Mayu’s brooding photorealist portraits and husband and wife team tupera tupera’s delightful children’s book illustration. \nInspired by an annual exhibition in Tokyo of the same name\, and curated by artists Hiro Sugiyama and Takahashi Kintarō\, WAVE: Currents in Japanese Graphic Arts presents a rare opportunity to experience the diversity of Japanese illustration and graphic arts in one place outside Japan. \nFind more information and how to book a visit here.

SUMMARY:She is My Daughter: All of Her is Me - Ella Baron
DESCRIPTION:In 2019\, the NGO Médecins Sans Frontières – also known as Doctors Without Borders or MSF – commissioned award-winning cartoonist Ella Baron to travel to its field hospital in Pibor\, South Sudan. \nShe spent several weeks interviewing and sketching staff and patients about the difficulties in accessing maternity care in this remote rural region. Rising star Ella Baron\, who had scooped the Philip Geddes Prize for Foreign Reporting and Young Cartoonist of the Year already by this point\, created an intimate and personal piece of graphic reportage out of her experience in the field. Her nine-page graphic short story follows the lives of three generations of women; Chacha\, her daughter Laito\, and Laito’s daughter Maria. Their story is the subject of The Cartoon Museum’s latest In-Focus capsule exhibition. \n\n“She is my daughter; all of her is me” – Chacha \n\nSouth Sudan is in the grip of a desperate humanitarian crisis. This graphic short story focuses on maternity care\, and how access to it is severely limited by rural disconnect\, social unrest and environmental disaster. But at its heart\, this artwork isn’t limited to the country it depicts. Chacha and Laito’s story is a testament to the lengths that a mother will go to protect her child wherever she may be from. \nThe Cartoon Museum will be selling a print version of the graphic short story Ella Baron created alongside prints and other pieces of merchandise to do with the exhibition. \nFind more information about the exhibition here.
