Lynette Yiadom-Boakye Selects from the V-A-C collection: Natures, Natural and Unnatural
Turner Prize nominated artist Lynette Yiadom-Boakye (b.1977) known for her striking figurative paintings of imagined characters, selects works inspired by nature from the rarely seen V-A-C collection.
Featuring leading artists David Hockney, Peter Doig, Gary Hume and Andy Warhol. The works featured represent the different aspects of nature from the benign to the threatening and cover a range of media from still life painting to photography and film.
Highlights include David Hockney鈥檚 30 Sunflowers (1996), a vibrantly coloured oil on canvas, and Peter Doig鈥檚 large-scale painting Green Trees (1998) depicting an imagined, lush, tropical forest. Also featured is a video by Estonian artist Jan Toomik, Dancing with Dad (2003), which shows the artist dancing in a sunlit woodland where his father was buried and Andy Warhol鈥檚 brightly coloured screen-print of a cow.
The exhibition highlights the V-A-C collection, Moscow as part of the Whitechapel Gallery鈥檚 programme of opening up rarely seen collections from around the world.
