Viewing The Guts and The Glory: the heroic and tragic

Six painters and sculptors riff on familiar art historical genres in The Guts and The Glory, while giving them a personal twist, an expressive vigour and good dose of humour. Among them, Tomo Campbell muses on the Neoclassical, depicting abstract figures that are marching, parading or going into battle, while Clare Woods gives the classical still life a visceral, bodily quality. Kim Booker, meanwhile, takes cues from German expressionism and American abstract expression to comment on the female experience today.

It promises to be a rousing journey through history, viewed through an emphatically contemporary lens.
