Current Exhibition
Phyllida Barlow
Until 5 January 2025

The work of Phyllida Barlow (1944 – 2023) takes over our Somerset gallery in a celebration of the British artist’s transformative approach to sculpture; marking the gallery’s 10th anniversary that was inaugurated by Barlow’s solo exhibition ‘GIG’ in 2014. Over a career that spanned six decades, Barlow took inspiration from her surroundings to create imposing installations that can be at once menacing and playful. Barlow’s restless invented forms stretch the limits of mass, volume and height as they block, straddle and balance precariously. The audience is constantly challenged into a new relationship with the sculptural object, the gallery environment and the world beyond.
