Group Exhibition
1 March–31 December 2023
Clare Woods is featured in 'Image of the Artist'
Collection Gallery, Royal Academy, London, UK
'Image of the Artist' brings together self-portraits by current and recent Royal Academicians from the last 50 years.
In the year of the 300th anniversary of the RA's first President Sir Joshua Reynolds, the works in this display reconsider the role of the artist in society today. Aspects of self are revealed or concealed, as these artists explore the power of images and image-makers and investigate wider questions of identity and belonging.
See a self-portrait by Dame Paula Rego RA, on public display in the UK for the first time, recently acquired Diploma Works by Hew Locke RA and Clare Woods RA, alongside self-portraits by Anthony Green RA, Patrick Procktor RA, Chantal Joffe RA, Gillian Wearing RA, and Sir Sidney Nolan RA.
