Viewing Ekkyklema at Gagosian

Craving an artful winter escape? Jenny Saville’s exhibition, Ekkyklema, gracing London’s Davies Street gallery symbolises her quest for a visual language that navigates our dual existence in material and screen-centric realms—a universal theme encapsulating the moment and enigma of conception.

Inspired by colossal digital screens at major venues, Saville dissects body parts into angular, panels, echoing desktop interfaces and news broadcasts. Over the past year, she has refined this system, merging figuration and abstraction to capture our interwoven physical and electronic realities. The reclining figures resonating Picasso’s fragmented portraits reference the Greek myth of Danaë, with a palette drawn from watercolour studies of the Greek sky at sunset.

Pay A Visit to the Oracle with artist Alice Instone

Feeling a little flat at the moment? Pay A Visit to the Oracle, Alice Instone’s enchanted world of magical beasts and golden forests in Borough Yards. Harnessing art’s power to comfort, uplift and reassure, this spellbinding exhibition takes you on an interactive journey where you can leave your troubles in a giant bird-woman’s mouth and look into your past and future by playing a game with Alice’s new Grandmother’s Oracle Cards.

Along the way you can roam through shimmering trees and sit in a monstrous cat’s jaws while contemplating the universal condition. Take it from us, you won’t want to leave.

Experience Paradise at Claridge’s ArtSpace

Head to a higher place at Like Paradise, a multidisciplinary group show curated by writer Ekow Eshun at Claridges ArtSpace that brings together artists from the African and South Asian diaspora, including Julianknxx, Jade Montserrat, Miranda Forrester and Samuel Ross.

The exhibition spotlights works that place images of Black people in natural landscapes to dispel the stereotype that the Black experience is an inherently urban one – a perception that marginalises people of colour from narratives about the natural world. Miranda Forrester addresses the invisibility of Black women in western art history, while British designer and artist Samuel Ross shows a work made from mostly organic materials. Here, nature is fertile ground for the imagination. See what happens when it’s let loose.
