Spotlight : Lubaina Himid

Small exhibition at Tate Britain looking at the art of Lubaina Himid.

The show looked at the common theme in her work of women together including how textile becomes a secret yet visible language between women. I loved a collage inspired by a Picasso of two women joyfully walking dogs who have escaped.  I love Himid’s vivid used of colour.

My favourite piece was a painted piano lid called “Chopin’s Heart” shades of the Pre-Raphaelites except it was no longer attached to the piano.
