    Once Upon a Time

    The Scottish Gallery

    Lachlan Goudie’s latest collection of fairy tale-inspired works are to be showcased at The Scottish Gallery this month – a reflection of this year’s unprecedented events and the way in which fantastical stories can provide escapism. “Fairy tales, nature and the tide of springtime flowers and birdsong that seemed to envelope the place we had escaped to, provided almost all the necessary distractions,” says Goudie. From illusive rural landscapes to a dark reimagining of Sleeping Beauty’s castle, Goudie’s new works will transport audiences to the fairy tale settings we read about as children, ‘once upon a time’. 28 October – 25 November. scottish-gallery.co.uk

    Art & Action: Making Change in Victorian Britain

    Watts Gallery

    Can art change the future? This question lies at the heart of Watts Gallery’s new exhibition, which looks at the Victorian roots of art activism. Art & Action: Making Change in Victorian Britain explores times when artists sought not only to comment on social problems, but to help solve them. Works from Sir Luke Fildes, Thomas Kennington and William Morris will sit alongside a radical series of early social realist art from the gallery’s co-founder, G F Watts. 17 November 2020 – 21 March 2021. wattsgallery.org.uk

    Joana Vasconcelos: Beyond

    Yorkshire Sculpture Park

    Portuguese artist and sculptor Joana Vasconcelos has graced Yorkshire Sculpture Park with her largest exhibition yet. Exploring female creativity, the spectacle comprises an array of large-scale sculptures designed by Vasconcelos over the past twenty years, from Pop Galo, a giant rooster comprised of ceramic tiles and LED lights, to a colossal ring – seven metres tall, in fact – crafted with gold wheel rims and crystal whisky glasses.

  • Ancient Deities

    Ancient Deities

    Arusha Gallery, Edinburgh

    Curated by Rhiannon Rebecca Salisbury and Agnieszka Prendota, Arusha Gallery’s new exhibition sees eighteen selected artists reflections of an ancient deity. Presented physically in the gallery as well as online, the collection is all about mystical entities: gods, demons and spirits all feature. ‘I wanted to invite a group of artists whose work excites and inspires me to come together and invoke a whole world of otherness, apart from the seen reality around us,’ says Salisbury. ‘Calling upon or selecting an Ancient Deity to make an artwork from is an entirely subjective process. Whether your belief in the Deity is literal, or you resonate with the ideas they form has come to symbolise, each artist’s choice and research reveals something about their current position and standing in today’s world.’ 10 September – 18 October 2020. arushagallery.com

  • Young Rembrandt

  • Andy Warhol

    Andy Warhol

    Tate Modern, London

    Despite having to close early due to the pandemic, Tate Modern’s Andy Warhol exhibition is certainly worth the wait. The highly anticipated retrospective presents over 100 of the legendary artist’s most iconic and inspiring works. From quintessential Warhol works such as the Green Coca-Cola bottles and Marilyn Diptych, to the largest showcasing of his equivocal Ladies and Gentlemen series portraying members of the 70s New York transgender sphere, the major exhibition demonstrates the artist’s creative and cultural legacy. Until 15 November 2020. Read our review of the Warhol exhibition here.
