A solo exhibition of multi-disciplinary visual artist Florence Peake. The exhibition presents new installations, sculptures, canvases, and works on paper that continues the artist’s research into the possibilities of painting and complements her major solo exhibition at Southwark Park Galleries, running from 16 April to 2 July and touring to Fruitmarket Edinburgh in late 2023, and Towner Eastbourne in 2024.
Florence Peake produces paintings, sculptures, films, and immersive performances rooted in the body, which are at once sensual and witty, political, and intimate. Focusing on the notions of materiality and physicality, her work explores narratives around the experience of aliveness, our bodies, and their multiplicity of being.
Peake’s performances employ dancers, performers, and communities to create lavish choreographies that encourage a seemingly chaotic relationship between the bodies and the material. The artist’s sculptures and paintings are a result of this interaction.
