This summer, for the first time, a group exhibition at the gallery in London and a presentation at Art Basel share a common theme. In these works, a number of which have been created especially for the occasion, artists convey aspects of intimacy in its many forms: maternal, erotic, platonic, domestic. Here, intimacy is revealed through subject matter and also through aspects of scale, colour and touch, a reminder that the intimate is as much a communion between an artist and their work as it is a depiction of private spheres, or lovers, family and friends.
