Viewing Birdsong

Singing an eclectic medley, Birdsong has opened at Timothy Taylor’s London gallery. Combining the iconic, the great and the rising stars of the British art scene, Birdsong brings together some familiar names. The exhibition spans genres and generations and features over 25 works in various media. Come and witness the visual harmonies created between the likes of Tracey Emin, Anne Rothenstein, Yinka Shonibare CBE, Annie Morris, Chantal Joffe, Antonia Showering, and Sahara Longe as they explore new ideas and cultivate unique dialogues.

Art with true heart, the exhibition is in support of the Royal Marsden – a world-leading cancer research centre and hospital in London – with all profits from this exhibition will benefit the charity. On a mission to cure Hodgkin’s Lymphoma for young people, this exhibition has a personal narrative. The institute previously supported Taylor while being treated for lymphoma as a young man. Inspired by literature, the exhibition’s title, Birdsong, is taken from Sebastian Faulks’ book as a symbol of hope and resilience in the face of mortality.

“My family has supported The Royal Marsden’s world-leading research efforts since my own experience with lymphoma. I have seen their passion first-hand, and I thank every participating artist for their generosity in supporting this cause. Birdsong embodies the joy that art can lend even in the most challenging circumstances.” – Timothy Taylor
