Discover acclaimed artist Shani Rhys James’s unflinching portraits, provocative still lifes and thrilling interiors at a major new exhibition, 'tea on the sofa, blood on the carpet' at Charleston.
Often returning to distilled childhood memories and her own mirrored image as the basis for her emotionally-charged subjects, the exhibition charts Rhys James's painterly challenge of the cyclical and relentless passage of life in the artist's frank, expressive and exuberant style.
Tea on the sofa, blood on the carpet (1 February - 19 April 2020) is a curated survey of the artist's latest body of work in which she explores the transience of being; contrasting her early iconic painting of a child's cot with startling images of the female figure ravaged by decay.
