Viewing Bathers

Summer is coming, so unearth that swimsuit and be ready to lounge in the sun because this week, Saatchi Yates unveils their blockbuster exhibition, ‘Bathers’. Opening today at their new space on Bury Street, the show pays homage to the enduring fascination with the bathing figure, which has long captivated artists from classical antiquity to the present day. The exhibition showcases a diverse collection of artwork by esteemed artists both from art history and today. 
 
Witness a historical moment as ‘Bathers’ explores the intertwining themes of landscape and the nude, offering a unique perspective on the human condition. The show features an array of contemporary artworks alongside renowned Post-War and Historical Masterpieces. From Paul Cezanne, J. M. W. Turner, and Pablo Picasso to prominent contemporary artists such as Hurvin Anderson, Peter Doig, and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, the exhibition is a tapestry of artistic expression reflecting the breadth and diversity of the theme. Toying with the connotations of the nude, both as biblical innocence and human lust, guilt and death, this exhibition evokes a flurry of emotion and is not to be missed. So join the crowds and head to Bury Street this weekend for a historical union where modern masters bathe in the presence of historical game changers.

Viewing The Power of She

Bowman Sculpture and Guerin Projects present ‘The Power of She: A Tribute to Women in the Arts,’ curated by Marie-Claudine Llamas and Mica Bowman. Held in London’s St James’s district, the exhibition features 14 artists and celebrates the overlooked history of female artists, and explores themes of women’s roles, nature, and the human condition. By showcasing works from the 18th century to the present, ‘The Power of She’ challenges the male-dominated art world and provides a platform for women artists to shine. 

Renowned sculptors like Camille Claudel and contemporary artists, including Emily Young, are featured. The exhibition goes beyond artworks, offering performances, talks, and discussions to amplify women’s voices and address gender inequality. It is a powerful statement about the enduring significance of art in breaking down societal barriers and recognising women’s contributions. ‘The Power of She’ honours the creativity and spirit of women artists, past and present, as it calls for greater representation and appreciation in the arts. Alongside the exhibition runs a six-week programme of events, including a performance by Natascha Mair, Prima Ballerina of the English National Ballet, female musicians and DJs and talks from several participating artists.
