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.

Designer Tom Dixon has had an illustrious 40-year career that has seen his furniture and lighting become ubiquitous in restaurants and hotels the world over. But his early work had a decidedly more punk aesthetic, as his retrospective – Tom Dixon: Metalhead – at Themes & Variations can attest.

In 1987, the gallery showed a series of welded metal chairs fashioned from scavenged objects by the young, up-and-coming designer. They featured everything from kitchen frying pans and bicycle forks to street railings. These delightful mash-ups star alongside some of his greatest hits and new works in metal that tap back into this experimental spirit, while revelling in the handmade. Come along and pull up a pew.
