A lot of the work this week might best be classed as experimental. Or at the very least, highly contemporary.

Much less party than protest, at times I was amused, confused, maybe even a little scared… and I can’t wait to go back.

Five group shows share the stage this week. Will you pick one closest to you, or try to see them all?

Works by emerging and established artists, linked to the theme of coffee and coffee culture. 

Under 90 min from Central London and 7 miles from the Hastings seafront, Battle is a worthwhile side trip to add to your UK bucket list.

Paintings that draw you in, make you want to know more and reward you with a little extra research.

A new gallery, an old shark, two solo shows at Cromwell Place and, quite literally, ”other stuff”.

Colourful, puffy people sandwiched in-between stark white IKEA style furnishings. So far, so London.

An exhibition that comprehensively shows how artists were struggling to make sense of a post-war world.

Frogs, dogs, cubism, concrete, glitter, glass and the great American road trip.

Optical illusions, early 80s LGBTQ+ artefacts, dreamy cloud-like paintings, anti-authority mixed-media and two group shows. There’s a lot this week!

An exhausting representation of works from places beyond Paris, the spiritual home of the surrealists.
