Viewing Shaqúelle Whyte: Winter Remembers April at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery

Winter Remembers April is Shaqúelle Whyte’s second solo show at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery running to 8 November 2025. The title is a homage to the jazz standard “I’ll Remember April” as interpreted by Wynton Marsalis, signalling from the outset the exhibition’s interest in memory, temporality and musical references.

In this new body of work, the British painter deepens his exploration of non-linear time: past, present and future converge in his canvases as figures unfold in multiple physical and psychological permutations. Whyte also sustains his interest in the Black male body and the arc of Black cultural experience, with works reinterpreting mythological narratives to critique the way Black creators and culture are treated in society.

Whyte’s painterly approach remains vigorous: loose, energetic brushwork, large-scale format, elements of theatre and film suggest both urgency and reflection. Winter Remembers April positions Whyte as a painter capable of capturing the shifting, slippery nature of memory, myth and identity in captivating narratives. Essential viewing.
