Inside the exhibition

Join us for the first major UK exhibition of Beatriz González, a pioneering Colombian artist who explores the power of the images we see every day.


Featuring over 150 works—many shown in the UK for the first time—this exhibition follows González’s incredible journey from the 1960s to today.


From large-scale paintings to everyday objects like furniture and wallpaper, all inspired by things she found in postcards and newspapers.

With her bright colors and unique style, González takes a playful yet serious look at the world, inviting us to think about power, memory, and the strength of community.
