Live Tours: St James’s

Please note, this tour includes walking up and down stairs.

The tour starts on Bennet Street at Modern Art with Terry Winters’s second presentation with the gallery, Along the River.

We then make our way to Edel Assanti’s new space on Bury Street to see Lonnie Holley’s inaugural show featuring three paintings on quilt. The works combine Holley’s compositional painting technique with his sculptural practice of using found materials to reveal embedded everyday histories.

A few steps away, Ben Hunter brings together a group of artists who have redefined the human figure in British art over the last hundred years. 

Our next stop is Thomas Dane Gallery with new work by Caragh Thuring. Thuring’s unique language relishes but undermines the inherent flatness of painting, destabilising the viewer into reassessing how they have been conditioned to look and see. 

At Larkin Durey, Anina Major presents a collection of works inspired by the poem Seedling by A. L. Major, considering how identity is formed through movement, memory, and transformation.

Our last stop is Henrik Godsk’s exhibition at Vigo Gallery. A seventh-generation traveller, Godsk grew up in his family’s travelling fair and began painting at the age of seven as an apprentice to his grandfather and father, restoring fairground facades.

Before leaving Mason’s Yard, be sure to view Shao Fan’s meticulously rendered ink-on-rice-paper paintings at White Cube in your own time.
