Gabriel Moses: Selah

180 The Strand
28 March – 27 July 2025

Step into the prismatic world of Gabriel Moses, as 180 The Strand is transformed with two floors of more than seventy photographs and ten films (including a brand new work, The Last Hour) by the 26-year-old South London-born artist whose work honours his British-Nigerian heritage in a myriad dazzling ways.

Moses’ rich and varied career has spanned fashion, music and sport, as well as short films and music videos – for the likes of Travis Scott and Playboi Carti, and Schoolboy Q. He has shot for Louis Vuitton, Burberry and Dior, and has photographed Little Simz, Sketpa and Alek Wek, to name only a few. His inimitable, signature style combines deep, lustrous hues, minimal details and an otherworldly edge, impossible to recreate without Moses’ visionary touch.

It’s hard to believe Moses is still only at the start of his career (he started making photographs just five years ago, in 2020) and this is his first major solo exhibition – his images already transcend time and carve a space for so many possibilities and voices in the future. As the artist once told Dazed: “I imagine things in my head and find a way to make it happen”.

Chantal Joffe: The Dog’s Birthday

Skarstedt Paris
April 3 – May 31 2025

British painter Chantal Joffe – a recent Monday Muse at The Wick – has a new solo exhibition at Skarstedt’s Paris gallery, running to May 31. The Dog’s Birthday sees Joffe’s work return to the French capital for the first time since 2001, paintings concerned with domestic duties and the passage of time.

“I made this show,” Joffe has said, “thinking about Paris – about Vuillard in particular and how he painted in apartments his family lived in, and how the family dramas play out against the changing wallpaper and the newspaper reading of the everyday – and how for him colour is tone and tone is everything.’

As well as formal concerns, there is also mourning, grief and a sense of grappling with time in these paintings, that psychological pull that often underscores Joffe’s portraits and self-portraits – several of the latter are also included here. It is an exhibition that gets at the very meaning of painting itself, and its complex relationship with memory and mortality.

The Power of Trees

Kew Gardens
12 April – 14 September 2025

The latest seasonal show at Kew is now open, and ode to the enduring power and beauty of trees, in nature, art and culture. Kew itself is home to 14,000 trees – and is the perfect place to honour them as a muse to artists over the centuries.

A range of works is on show until September at the Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art, a hub for botanical art opened a decade ago by Sir David Attenborough to house the astonishing collection of Dr Shirely Sherwood, with Kew’s own collection numbering more than 200,000 pieces of Botanical art.

A highlight of The Power of Trees is a multi-sensory piece by Finnish visual artist Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Horizontal–Vaakasuora, a portrait of a 30-metre spruce found in Finland’s boreal forest. With sound effects evoking the tree’s natural habitat, it’s a captivating and poignant piece, and a testament to the grandeur and majesty of one of our greatest natural wonders.
