Six female artists explore the body as storyteller in Skin Deep, an exhibition of fierce and complex works by RWA Academicians in the Kenny Gallery, curated by Wendy Elia RWA.
Featuring artworks by Eileen Cooper RA RWA (Hon) OBE, Valda Jackson MBE RWA, Charmaine Watkiss RWA, Adelaide Damoah RWA FRSA, Jessa Fairbrother RWA, Wendy Elia RWA.
From the trauma of escaping a war and the voices of slavery and migration, to confronting the journey into pregnancy and ageing, Skin Deep brings together six contemporary artists whose work places the female body at the centre of complex, layered narratives. Through painting, drawing, video, performance, stitchwork, and photography, the exhibition explores how lived experience, both personal and collective, is held, remembered, and expressed through the body.
Meet the Artists event on Saturday 12 July 2025, 2-3pm. Drinks reception 3-5pm.
