Online Exhibitions - Tomorrow: London | Week 1 - White Cube

‘Tomorrow: London’ presents the work of twenty graduates of Fine Art Masters courses from the London colleges of Central Saint Martins, Goldsmiths, Royal College of Art, Royal Academy Schools and Slade School of Fine Art. Each week, work by five artists is featured, concluding with a showcase bringing together all the exhibited graduates.

In celebration and support of Fine Art education in London, ‘Tomorrow: London’ offers a platform for a diverse range of artistic voices engaged with many current and urgent cultural debates including identity politics, de-colonialisation, shared and personal histories and environmental issues.

Graduates have been selected by members of White Cube’s curatorial team: Irene Bradbury, Hannah Gruy, Susannah Hyman, Toby Kamps, Capucine Perrot and Soraya Rodriguez. 

All sales proceeds will go directly to the artist.

Week 1

Lydia Pettit | Peter Spanjer

Anna Perach | Alice Bucknell | Januario Jano

‘My works are confrontational depictions of my own inward gaze, forcing the viewer to reckon with the realities of my body and mind, and their own viewpoints on the struggles women face with sexual abuse, trauma, body politics, and mental health.’

 - Lydia Pettit, 2020

‘My work has always had a layer of sensuality, sexuality and a certain softness and vulnerability which can be traced to my personal battles with breaking away from identified gender roles within a black household.’

 - Peter Spanjer, 2020

‘Informed by the dynamic between personal and cultural myths, I explore how our private narratives are deeply rooted in ancient storytelling and conversely how folklore has the ability to tell us intimate, confidential stories about ourselves.’

 - Anna Perach, 2020

‘Conceived in my second year of study at the RCA and while in lockdown, E-Z Kryptobuild is a project that responds to architecture’s role in global inequity and the current climate emergency. Utilizing tactics of speculative fiction and working across multiple media including moving image, sculpture, and environmental design, the project reflects on the language and aesthetics of disaster capitalism.’

 - Alice Bucknell, 2020

‘My work deals with personal and cultural identity to explore historical and contemporary narratives within a globalised context. The body plays a pivotal role as the main motif and leads the way to link the present and past.’

 - Januario Jano, 2020
