Panel Discussion: ‘From Near and Far’ Chaired by Katy Hessel

We are delighted to present a panel discussion on Friday 22 July, 5-6pm (BST) chaired by Katy Hessel (art historian and founder of The Great Women Artists) featuring artists Kenturah Davis, Genevieve Gaignard, Deborah Roberts and Amy Sherald. The panel will discuss the ideas explored in the current group exhibition ‘From Near and Far: Collage and Figuration in the Contemporary Age’ at Stephen Friedman Gallery, London.

Curated by Katy Hessel and Deborah Roberts, ‘From Near and Far’ focuses on collage as a concept and an art form; from the traditional method of splicing together imagery to amalgamating figures, forms, gestures and viewpoints. The exhibition features over twenty works, many of which have never been shown before. Gallery artists Sarah Ball, Deborah Roberts, Anne Rothenstein and Caroline Walker all present new works. Other highlights include significant, large-scale paintings by Jordan Casteel and Amy Sherald; a series of collages by Lubaina Himid that have never previously been exhibited; and new and historic works by Kenturah Davis, M. Florine Démosthène, Genevieve Gaignard, Kudzanai-Violet Hwami, Chantal Joffe, Aubrey Levinthal, Martha Rosler, Betye Saar and Mickalene Thomas.
