- Tuesday – Saturday: 10am – 5.30pm
- Sunday: 12pm – 5pm
As the public are welcomed back to Exeter Phoenix, Phoenix Gallery reopens with another chance to see work by London based artist Cherelle Sappleton. This exhibition features works previously exhibited in her exhibition Among Other Things, which was showing in our galleries when the UK entered lockdown in March, alongside some previously unseen pieces in a condensed and re-imagined solo presentation.
Cherelle Sappleton’s practice centres on an exploration of photographic media, utilising abstraction and collage to address problems she identifies with representing blackness and the (female) body as an artist. Using traditional, hand cut paper-collaging techniques alongside digital overlays and manipulation of scanned original images, she explores and responds to issues of representation, agency and the materiality of photographic imagery.
This redux presentation includes a new, fundraiser print, Rosso, available to buy in the gallery, the proceeds of which raises funds to support both Black Lives Matter and Exeter Phoenix.
Fundraiser Print
To accompany her exhibition Cherelle Sappleton has generously made a new digital print available for sale, the proceeds of which will be divided between Black Minds Matter and Exeter Phoenix to support their charitable work.
Black Minds Matter UK support free access for black individuals and families to mental healthcare and black healthcare professionals. Exeter Phoenix provides opportunities, training and support to develop young and emerging artists in the South West.
To purchase the print, use the embedded merchandise page below.
