A new exhibition from Michael Landy CBE RA – his first in Sussex – drawing on his personal life experience
Michael Landy may be best known for his large installations and participatory works, but this exhibition celebrates his skill as a draftsman, revealing a quieter and more intimate consideration of the world around him.
Visitors will encounter a group of intensely personal drawings relating to Landy’s experience of testicular cancer and his father’s tunnelling accident. Through deep observation and focus, Landy has created a body of work that reflects on memory, vulnerability and the bond between father and son.
These works are accompanied by a new self-portrait made for this exhibition, and Landy’s Nourishment etchings that render the often overlooked weed in exceptional detail, celebrated as icons of survival and endurance.
