- Summary
- One of the pioneers of the British Black Arts Movement, Lubaina Himid first came to prominence in the 1980s when she began organising exhibitions of work by her peers, whom she felt were under-represented in the contemporary art scene. Himid?s work challenges the stereotypical depictions of black figures in art history, foregrounding the contribution of the African diaspora to Western culture.0'Invisible Strategies' brings together a wide range of Himid?s paintings from the 1980s to the present day, as well as sculptures, ceramics and works on paper. The exhibition opens with Himid?s monumental Freedom and Change, 1984, which appropriates and transforms the female figures from Picasso?s 'Two Women Running on the Beach' ('The Race'), 1922, into black women, powerfully and humorously subverting one of the most canonical paintings in Western art history. Containing many works shown for the first time in decades alongside pieces never-before seen in a public gallery, this exhibition highlights Himid?s consistently thought-provoking and distinctive visual style.00Exhibition: Modern Art Oxford, UK (21.01. - 30.04.2017).
