Ishbel Myerscough : Grief, Longing, and Love

4 Mar-11 Apr 2020

Overview

An exhibition of new works by British artist Ishbel Myerscough. 'Grief, Longing and Love' draws together intimate self-portraits and portraits of family to explore a universal journey of loss and longing. Myerscough is recognised for her highly detailed and meticulously observed portrayal of her subject matter, which over the past three decades has primarily included herself, her close friend and fellow artist Chantal Joffe, and their families. In this exhibition, Myerscough combines a focused study of youth and coming-of-age with adult experiences of parenthood, desire and bereavement, evoking the complex cycle of human experience.
