Overview
A striking new body of paintings by Clare Woods is incorporated for Kabinett.
Bringing together diverse visual styles, the presentation features dynamic paintings and tapestries, alongside ceramic, bronze and wooden sculptures. Many of the artists are inspired by their immediate surroundings, with vibrant and vivid depictions of place juxtaposed with abstract representations.
Paintings in the presentation include works by Mamma Andersson. Her theatrical interior scenes are rendered with a striking variety of painterly techniques, combining thick and near-transparent brushstrokes. Jeffrey Gibson’s vivid works fuse his Choctaw-Cherokee heritage with references that span club culture, queer theory, politics and art history. Employing vibrant colour and rhythmic pattern, his paintings echo the psychedelic palette of disco music whilst synthesising Native American geometric designs. In a new work, Hulda Guzmán conjures a timeless sense of harmony, as stylish architecture meets exotic natural forms. A unique focus on nature can also be found in works by Clare Woods, who presents large, visceral paintings for Kabinett. Hovering between abstraction and figuration, they depict climbing plants and foliage and are characterised by fluid mark-making and vibrant colours.
Artists working with sculpture feature throughout the presentation. Leilah Babirye and Woody De Othello have created new figurative ceramic pieces which are presented alongside works by Stephan Balkenhol, Tom Friedman and Yinka Shonibare CBE RA.
Artists include Mamma Andersson, Leilah Babirye, Jonathan Baldock, Stephan Balkenhol, Caroline Coon, Andreas Eriksson, Denzil Forrester, Tom Friedman, Jeffrey Gibson, Sky Glabush, Pam Glick, Wayne Gonzales, Hulda Guzmán, Izumi Kato, Woody De Othello, Anne Rothenstein, Yinka Shonibare CBE RA, Kehinde Wiley, Yooyun Yang and Luiz Zerbini.
