Zoë Buckman: Bloodwork
Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, London

2 September — 1 October
https://www.houldsworth.co.uk/exhibitions/123-zoe-buckman-bloodwork/press_release_text/

For a dose of arresting art, see Zoë Buckman at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, the first solo show of the feminist artist in the UK. Working predominantly with embroidery and vintage textiles, she explores experiences of gendered violence and trauma from a personal and societal perspective.

Central to her new body of work are portraits of survivors embracing moments of joy in the face of adversity. Inspired by photographs Buckman has taken of people she knows, they brim with raw, untrammelled emotion. Standout works include she was hungry & it was your work (2022) and a portrait of a cancer survivor, her hands thrown up in a moment of ecstatic exaltation.

This is a hard-hitting show that demands slow, considered looking. Add to your autumn agenda now.
