British Art Fair – Modern and Contemporary British Art
Saatchi Gallery, London, SW3 4RY
Thursday 26–Sunday 29 September 2024
Siobhan McLaughlin, member of ECG 2020-21, has been selected by the Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Trust to show three new paintings at this year’s British Art Fair.
As part of a special exhibition of works by the pioneering modernist artist Wilhelmina Barns-Graham (1912-2004) at the British Art Fair, the Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Trust are showing work by six contemporary artists who undertook an exchange residency via Visual Arts Scotland funded by the Trust. These artists are Siobhan McLaughlin, Andy Harper, Jonathan Michael Ray, Clare Wardman, Rachel Duckhouse, and Lynsey Mackenzie.
Wilhelmina Barns-Graham was at the forefront of Modernism, and her outstanding contribution to post-war British art is currently gaining ever greater recognition. A new book, Wilhelmina Barns-Graham: The Glaciers, is to be published by Lund Humphries with a book launch at British Art Fair on Saturday 28 September at 14:00 BST. The book provides the first comprehensive account of Barns Graham’s unique, and life-long, artistic response to Switzerland’s Grindelwald Glacier. Three original works on papers made following her time in Switzerland 1949-50 will be shown alongside the release of a spectacular new tapestry made in a collaboration between the Trust and Edinburgh’s Dovecot Studios. This new textile work presents an interpretation of the amazing 1951 painting Glacier Ice Face.
Alongside the Glacier series, the British Art Fair exhibition will show a selection of the artist’s late career screenprints, which are a great colourful, energetic, and affordable, introduction to the artist’s late work, in particular the works she made with Graal Press.
