The Mayor Gallery
Explore the second instalment in a three-part series, marking the gallery's hundred year history. This exhibition bring together a group of post-war European artists who, through radical experimentation and a shared search for structure, light, and material innovation, helped define the language of modern abstraction.
RWS Gallery
In this new exhibition, American artist John Ransom Phillips bring together two extraordinary figures, Mary Lincoln and Frida Kahlo, in a dialogue across time, geography, and experience. Though separated by century and culture, both women confronted lives marked by love, loss, illness, and public scrutiny. Their stories, reimagined through Phillips’ expressive artworks, reveal the shared struggle between visibility and vulnerability, and the search for selfhood beyond history’s frame.
Exhibition: Mary Lincoln & Frida Kahl

Blending personal experiences and memories with broader references to politics, history, literature and poetry, in her compositions, Rankin combines geometric and organic forms.
