Soho Revue in London presents "Behind the Curtains," a group exhibition running from January 14 to February 29, 2026, featuring eight female artists—Lorena Lohr, Lucrezia Abatzoglu, Nettle Grellier, Drea Cofield, Kim Booker, Joline Kwakkenbos, Harriet Gillet, and Abigail McGinley—who reframe feminine sensuality outside the male gaze. The gallery is draped in deep red velvet, creating an intimate, private chamber that echoes Renaissance curtain conventions and the scale of 16th-century portrait miniatures, with each artist working in small formats to slow visual consumption and challenge who controls the frame.
