Poetry & Magic - Celebrating Anita Seppilli

This exhibition explores the themes of Poetry & Magic, as analysed by Anita Seppilli, in the context of today’s London and through the works of four contemporary artists: Stephen Chambers RA, Marcelle Hanselaar, Junko Theresa Mikuriya and Ana Maria Pacheco. The paintings by Chambers exhibited here are respectful interpretations of enigmatic and prophetic prints by William Blake. In Hanselaar’s etchings of Rebel Women of the Apocrypha we encounter powerful and magical female figures like Lilith, Sheba and the Witch of Endor. Mikuriya’s surrealist-inspired photographs, created especially for this show, pursued William Blake through the streets of London. Finally, Pacheco’s haunting drypoints draw on her Brazilian culture and mythical imagery to evoke dark moods and events.
