Gillian Jason Gallery presents Heart of the Matter, curated by Mollie E Barnes, Founder of She Curates.
Launched on International Women’s Day 2021, this group exhibition opened in the gallery’s 3D Virtual Viewing Room
Heart of the Matter features new and recent works from Tracey Emin, Bridget Riley, Chantal Joffe, Jasmine Pradissitto, Sikelela Owen, Emma Prempeh, Layla Andrews, Eleanor Johnson, Sarah Jane Moon, Sahara Longe and Cecily Brown. Each artwork offers unique visions and explorations into the artist’s contemporary practice.
Through Heart of the Matter, and in support of International Women’s Day theme of 2021, both Gallery and Curator will #ChooseToChallenge gender inequality in the art world while providing a platform for emerging and established artists.
With strongly figurative works, contrasted with expressionist and abstract pieces, Heart of the Matter presents a timeless look at contemporary female artists in and from Britain: a snapshot of the present with a powerful and positive look towards the future.
‘The last twelve months have been tough for many people in the arts. If we are able to take a step towards connecting with the upcoming young collectors and at the same time correcting some of the gender inequalities that have existed for so long in the artworld then we can sincerely see great change within our reach. GJG is committed to this change and the artists that we work with.’ Elli Jason Foster, Director
