This article is a weekly entertainment guide from The Guardian, covering cinema, gigs, art, stage, streaming, games, albums, and brain food. In the art section, it highlights three upcoming exhibitions: Hulda Guzmán's first major European show at Turner Contemporary in Margate (23 May to 13 September), featuring her lush, mystical tropical paintings exploring Caribbean identity; Lewis Hammond's exhibition of dark, old master-inspired portraiture at The Hepworth in Wakefield (23 May to 1 November); and Joanna Piotrowska's show at The Common Guild in Glasgow (23 May to 18 July).
The art listings matter because they showcase significant new exhibitions by contemporary visual artists, including a major debut for Dominican painter Hulda Guzmán in Europe and a young English artist Lewis Hammond engaging with classical traditions. These exhibitions contribute to the broader visual arts landscape, offering audiences access to diverse perspectives and emerging talent. However, the article as a whole is a broad entertainment roundup, with art being just one of many sections, so its primary focus is not exclusively on the visual art world.
