Open Your Heart

Bringing together the works of UAL Chelsea artists Ella Kemp, Lili Shabani, Jean Kwak, Ovieya Edafeadhe, Lisa Tang and Pippi Clothier, 'Open Your Heart' explores the multifaceted nature of intimacy through six unique perspectives. This exhibition considers whether intimacy can truly be defined, conceptually or through physical process and presentation. The works on show offer visitors the chance to not only view paintings, installations and sculptures, but also to fully immerse themselves in the space and, in one case, touch the pieces on display.

We invite viewers to consider questions about interaction, human connection, and how intimacy affects the relationships we share with each other. Pieces on display include: ‘Reflection’, ‘Daydream Portraits’, ‘Number 139’, ‘Hysterica’, ‘Intimate’ and ‘Camping with the Putty Pals’.
