Defiant women and daring paintings: Emin, Webster and Wylie create a buzz in the UK's exhibition calendar

The UK art scene is currently dominated by major survey exhibitions from three prominent female artists: Rose Wylie, Tracey Emin, and Sue Webster. Rose Wylie, at 92, makes history as the first woman painter to occupy the Royal Academy’s main galleries, while Tracey Emin presents a raw, thematic survey at Tate Modern reflecting on her life before and after cancer. Simultaneously, Sue Webster marks her institutional solo debut at Firstsite, showcasing a transition from her famous collaborative practice to deeply personal oil painting.

Godfried Donkor: It’s a Numbers Game

Ghanaian-British artist Godfried Donkor is set to debut his first UK institutional solo exhibition, "It’s a Numbers Game," at Firstsite in Colchester. The exhibition features a diverse array of media including collage, painting, embroidery, and installation, highlighted by a gallery transformed into a boxing ring to symbolize migration and endurance. Donkor utilizes materials like Financial Times pages and Adinkra symbols to explore the "triangle of commerce" between Britain, West Africa, and the Caribbean, while specifically linking the local history of Boudicca to the resistance of Ashanti leader Yaa Asantewaa.
