Group Show
21 Apr-2 Jul 2023
Aspex Portsmouth
Portsmouth PO1 3BF
Overview
Group Show paints a picture of who makes our communities. It explores how diverse communities can intersect and coexist, bringing attention to the power of togetherness. Consisting of a wide range of relationships and group dynamics; such as families, friends, allies and partners, the works demonstrate the human need for company.
Colours and shapes layer together to represent the various walks of life in our local communities. Amongst the vibrant space, the exhibition includes works from five contemporary artists – Rakibul Chowdhury, Eileen Cooper, Alice Hayes, Udehi Imienwanrin, and Janet Sainsbury, whose portraits invite for slow contemplation and display moments of care. Group Show is a gentle reminder to support and learn from one another regardless of our differences and/or commonalities.
As part of Group Show, Aspex Portsmouth will be launching ‘Let’s Paint Together’, a new programme of workshops and drop-in activities taking place at community spaces and events across the city. Work made as part of this programme will also be shown in the exhibition.
