Suzanne Blank Redstone: Catching Light

CLOSE Gallery
Somerset, TA3 6AE
10 May – 28 June 2025

Head out to the pretty village of Hatch Beauchamp in rural Somerset this weekend for a rare exhibition celebrating the decades-long practice of Suzanne Blank Redstone, an American-born, UK-based artist who has made light her muse.

Continuing their programme bringing attention to overlooked artists and in particular women, CLOSE has organised an in-depth and awe-inspiring look at Redstone’s sixty year career to date (the artist turns 80 this year), from early plaster reliefs to light sculptures, works that explore timeless themes of colour, form and energy.

It’s an exhibition that will also never look quite the same on any two visits, evolving with the environment. As Redstone puts it: “my practice is concerned with interrupting the available light that surrounds us, creating environments that attract, catch and release light to produce a changing visual experience.”
