Seeing Each Other: Artists Through The Eyes Of Artists At Pallant House Gallery

A powerful exploration of artistic connection and mutual gaze, Seeing Each Other: Artists Through the Eyes of Artists is a new exhibition at Pallant House Gallery featuring intimate portrayals and tributes of celebrated modern and contemporary artists, from Francis Bacon and David Hockney to Tracey Emin and Lubaina Himid—revealing the creative bonds that shape British art across generations. Highlights include; a projection of Johnny Shand Kydd’s enigmatic images capturing the YBAs when they were young and hanging out at The Groucho Club and Colony Rooms in Soho; and new commissions including a magical portrait by Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year winner Curtis Holder and double portraits by artists and long-term friends Ishbel Myerscough and Chantal Joffe studied together at the Glasgow School of Art. The exhibition features artists’ portraits of fellow artists spanning several genres, movements and locations, starting at the turn of the 20th century with portraits of Walter Sickert, Sylvia Gosse and Nina Hamnett, through to The Bloomsbury Set in London and Suffolk, Newlyn School in Cornwall, pre-war modernism in Paris, to Pop Art art, the London School, YBAs and finally to contemporary artists and photographers such as Cindy Sherman and Mary McCartney and the British Black
