Sean Scully’s Exhibition - 'Uninsideout'

Blain|Southern Gallery is presenting Sean Scully’s first exhibition with the gallery, named 'Uninsideout'. Featuring large-scale, multi-panel paintings, as well as works on paper, sculpture and a group of his celebrated Landline paintings, the exhibition will offer an overview of the artist’s multi-faceted oeuvre. 

Rhythm has always been of central importance to Scully, and much of the work in Uninsideout has a palpable musical structure. Rhythm emerges from both his sources of inspiration, such as music and poetry, but also in his process, visible in the fluid handling of his medium and his own powerful movement as he paints. The geometric structure that characterises his work creates a background rhythm, opening up space for improvisation and new pictorial ideas. 

Art Exhibition - Erkka Nissinen

For his first solo exhibition in the United Kingdom, Erkka Nissinen presents nine new ink drawings, in which he trains his characteristically absurdist humour on the subject of surveillance and shame. The setting for these works is a series of bare, windowless rooms, all of which seem to belong to the same sprawling, Kafka-esque facility. 

Here, men indulge in various kinks (urophagia, autofellatio, disappearing up to their necks in the rectum of a pig), observed either by anonymous, silhouetted onlookers, or their own horrified wives and kids. In other images, these men become subject to seemingly arbitrary arrest, interrogation, and cartoonish punishments.

'Fashion Rules Restyled' Exhibition

A fascinating exhibition which provides an exclusive glimpse into the public wardrobes and personal style of three of the most prestigious royals – the Queen, Princess Margaret and Diana, Princess of Wales.  

Held within the suitably impressive surrounds of Kensington Palace, you will be able to see statement dresses and accessories worn by each of these stylish women, from the swinging Sixties to the Nineties. You will be able to learn how different roles within the monarchy impacted on the way they dressed, and how the royals created their own rules. It is truly an exhibition not to be missed.
