The epic works of Edward Burra

Recognised as one of the most original British artists of the 20th century, Edward Burra is celebrated for his dynamic watercolours that capture the raw energy of urban life and queer subcultures during the 1920s. His work defies the gentle conventions of watercolour, using the medium to craft bold, often satirical scenes infused with colour and intensity.

This is the first major London retrospective of Burra’s work in four decades. It highlights his fascination with global cultures and his role as a perceptive observer of society. From haunting depictions of war-torn landscapes to surreal portrayals of industrial change, Burra’s art reflects the turbulence of his time. His personal experience with disability also shaped his empathetic lens, often focusing on those living on the margins.

Featuring over 80 works, including paintings, drawings, and rare archival materials from the Tate’s Edward Burra collection, this exhibition offers a comprehensive look at his extraordinary artistic journey.

The iconic Ithell Colquhoun

A pioneering figure in British Surrealism, Ithell Colquhoun was a fearless artist, writer, and occultist whose work explored the unconscious, the mystical, and the magical. Active in the 1930s and 1940s, she developed a deeply personal approach to art that blended surrealist techniques with esoteric symbolism.

This landmark exhibition brings together over 140 pieces, including rarely seen paintings, drawings, and archival documents. It traces Colquhoun’s artistic evolution—from her early academic studies and engagement with Surrealism to her later explorations of sexuality, ecology, and the occult. A highlight of the show is a dedicated space for her visionary interpretation of the Taro deck, a powerful synthesis of her artistic and spiritual practices.
