Through this exhibition Somaya Critchlow presents a highly personal observation of interconnection between the artists exhibited, weaving together perspectives on light, shape, and form and the personal through relationship and subject. Delve into works created over sixty years by Lucian Freud alongside early paintings of Professor Keith Critchlow, who studied under David Bomberg with Leon Kossoff and Frank Auerbach, beside pre and post war European works of Käthe Kollowitz, Frank Bowling and Somaya Critchlow that span from the early 1900s until now. £9.50 Day Pass ● Lightbox Members and Under 21s Free Exhibition supported by Associated Events Exclusive Behind-The-Scenes Tour Lucian Freud and The Soul as Sphere 8 February £10 Adults ● £8 Lightbox Members Wed 8 February and 15 March, 09:45am - 10:30am Panel Discussion: Lucian Freud and The Soul as Sphere Thurs 23 February 2023, 7.00pm – 8.00pm.

Presenting new perspectives on established narratives, subjects range from British surrealism and the rise of corporate and public patronage, to nationality and British identity. To celebrate the publication of ‘Revisiting Modern British Art’, this exhibition showcases a selection of modern British and contemporary artworks drawn from The Ingram Collection. Featuring works by artists discussed in the book such as Edward Burra and Graham Sutherland, it reveals the influence of modern British art on contemporary artistic practice today through the display of a monumental sculpture by artist Olivia Bax, who worked as a studio assistant to sculptor Anthony Caro earlier in her career.
