  • TRATE

    TRATE: Technicolour Malaise

    15 Bateman Street

    Canadian artist TRATE (who works under an enigmatic alias) is set to showcase his third London exhibition at Soho gallery 15 Bateman Street, an evocative and vibrant collection of his signature large-scale figurative paintings.

    In light of the current situation, the exhibition will be available to view via virtual studio tours taking place on the 9th-12th April, whilst personal virtual tours can also be booked. aliastrate.com

  • Sunset on the River, Turner

    Turner and the Thames: Five Paintings

    Turner’s House

    Turner and the Thames: Five Paintings features a selection of rare oil sketches seldom seen by the public, all depicting scenes close to his house near the Thames – from Isleworth to Windsor. The paintings were all created from Turner’s boat, which he acquired while living in Isleworth so he could record first-hand impressions of the river, an inspiration for Turner throughout his life. Unusually, the five pieces in this exhibition – which are on loan from Tate – are painted in mahogany veneer, and it’s thought Turner may have made them using parts of recycled furniture. The house is an artwork in itself too, having been designed by Turner for him and his father to live in back in the 1800s.

    With the temporary closure of Turner’s House, the exhibition is sadly no longer open to the public. turnershouse.org

  • Picasso, Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe' after Manet

    Picasso and Paper

    The Royal Academy of Arts

Featuring over 300 works – including quick doodles and Femmes à leur toilette, a gigantic collage of over five metres – it showcases a huge range of Picasso’s paper-based creations, from his childhood cut-outs of birds and dogs (confirming the artist’s precocity and mastery of proportion, aged 9) to studies of work by Manet and Delacroix. By Dina Nagapetyants.

    This exhibition is temporarily closed; tickets purchased can be refunded via the website. royalacademy.org.uk

In regards to the exhibition’s startling title, Offenbach faced initial resistance, but insisted ‘A large part of the project was to re-own that word – it shouldn’t be seen as an insult’.
