Visited Being Here by Barbara Walker at @arnolfiniarts.bsky.social today. Wow, what
powerful works, beautiful in execution but also unsettling and definitely thought-provoking. Brilliant show 👏
Collage of photos from Barbara Walker's Being Here exhibition at Arnolfini. Includes large portrait drawings over documents, a newspaper portrait, embossed historical figures, intimate paintings of daily life, patterned wallpaper with Black figures, and a historical portrait with black figures in circle.

I've just been to two brilliant shows, which just opened at the Royal West of England Academy, including one on Paule Vézelay—an artist I (shamefully) didn’t know before. Painter, sculptor, textile artist, war artist— what didn't she do? Such a creative force.
