Edward Burra, Ithell Colquhoun. Two exhibitions, two influential British artists, one ticket. Burra is a Master watercolour painter and is considered one of the most distinctive British artists of the 20th century, renowned for his vibrant and satirical scenes of the uninhibited urban underworld and queer culture of the "Roaring Twenties". His practice encompasses a rich spectrum of imaginative work influenced by everything from music and performance to popular culture, literature and art history. The first London retrospective in 40 years, it will showcase Burra’s interest in the experience of society and culture abroad. Ithell Colquhoun was a major figure in British Surrealism during the 1930s and 40s. An innovative writer and practicing occultist, Colquhoun developed her artistic practice by investigating Surrealist methods of creating unconscious images and fearlessly delving into the realms of myth and magic. This landmark exhibition of over 140 artworks and archival materials traces Colquhoun’s evolution, from her early student work and engagement with the Surrealist movement, to her fascination with the intertwined realms of art, sexual identity, ecology and the occult.
