Nicole Eisenman invites us on a captivating journey through her three-decade career, showcasing a powerful collection of over 100 artworks never before seen in the UK. This exhibition seamlessly interconnects a diverse array of artistic forms, from monumental paintings to sculptures, monoprints, animations, and drawings.

Delving into eight meticulously arranged chronological sections, the exhibition illuminates Eisenman’s insightful and often humour-infused exploration of contemporary socio-political concerns. 

From issues encompassing gender, identity, and sexual politics; to the dynamics of protest movements, activism, and the impact of technology on personal relationships, each section offers a profound and thought-provoking commentary on the urgent matters of our era.
