Our Members evening private views allow you to view the exhibitions outside of Gallery opening hours. The Portrait Restaurant will also be open for Members and you can book a table in advance directly with them by calling 0207 312 2490. These two exhibitions look at how portraiture is represented by use of different mediums and interpretations. Gillian Wearing and Claude Cahun: Behind the mask, another mask brings together work of the French Surrealist artist Claude Cahun and British contemporary artist Gillian Wearing. The exhibition focuses on the parallels of their works including fascination with self-portraiture and self-image. Howard Hodgkin: Absent Friends explores Hodgkins paintings, which are characterised by rich colour, complex illusionistic space and sensuous brushwork. By emphasising these pictorial elements his work frequently appears entirely abstract.
