Barbara Freeman: A Retrospective
The F.E. McWilliam Gallery is delighted to announce Barbara Freeman: A Retrospective. Born in London in1937, Freeman studied at Central St. Martins and Camberwell Colleges of Art, followed by postgraduate study at the University of Leeds before moving to Belfast where she has lived and worked for over 40 years. Utilising a wide range of media including sculpture, painting, print, installation, sound and film, Freeman鈥檚 constantly evolving practice fluctuates between figuration and abstraction to explore themes including time, memory and history.
Collaboration is at the heart of Freeman鈥檚 art. She has often worked with composers and musicians to create installations that combine sound and image and respond to a particular place, both as a physical space and a sonic environment. In 2020, she joined NA CAILLEACHA, the collective of formidable older women artists based in Ireland, with whom she continues to work and exhibit.
The first large-scale survey show of Freeman鈥檚 work, the exhibition aims to introduce the public to this award-winning artist who has exhibited internationally and now in her late 80s, continues to experiment and push herself to create new innovative work.
