Seductive Stitches and Warhol in Nottingham Lead the Art Scene This Week
New York-based artist Jessica Rankin's abstract works, which hover between embroidery and painting, are now on display at White Cube Mason's Yard in London until 28 February. The show promises a seductive, lyrical beauty that will captivate art lovers.
Andy Warhol, the iconic American artist who defined his generation, is also making waves this week. His work is on display at Lakeside Arts in Nottingham from 24 January to 19 April. Although Trump's America may have lost its relevance, Warhol's art remains timeless and thought-provoking.
Meanwhile, a fascinating exploration of how drawing can grow from performance art or vice versa is underway at Patrick Heide Contemporary Art in London until 7 March. The exhibition features the works of Carali McCall, Jaanika Peerna, and others.
Art enthusiasts will also want to visit Bernard Jacobson Gallery in London from 29 January to 27 February to see a tribute to John Constable, one of Britain's greatest landscape artists. Other notable exhibitions include Mario Merz's protective and welcoming igloo sculpture at Sprovieri in London until 13 March.
A poignant portrait of Henry, 78, taken by Stuart Edwards for the Portrait of Britain competition is also worth mentioning. The image showcases Henry's striking style and wit, making it a heartwarming addition to this year's competition.
On a different note, researchers have uncovered what may be the world's oldest rock art in an Indonesian cave – a 67,800-year-old hand shape that sheds new light on human history.
The week also saw the publication of Ai Weiwei's new book On Censorship, which offers insightful commentary on the role of AI in shaping our perceptions. Additionally, Colombian artist Beatriz González has passed away at the age of 93, leaving behind a legacy of powerful political art.
Lastly, Montez Press is championing queer and feminist art globally, while Sally Tallant will be taking over as director of the Hayward Gallery in London.

And what's with the whole seductive, lyrical beauty vibe going on? It just feels like a bunch of pretty pictures to me. Where's the edge, where's the controversy?
. like, he was basically a master of capturing the banality and superficiality of modern life, but somehow that feels more relevant now than ever. meanwhile, the fact that researchers have found rock art from 67k years ago is mind-blowing... it's wild to think about how human history has been shaped by all these different cultural movements 
. anyway, i'm also super stoked to see more women and queers getting recognized in the art world, like ai weiwei and beatriz gonzález... they're total legends 
like who else but Andy Warhol 
is bringing his iconic vibes to Nottingham from Jan 24 - Apr 19 
his art may have been created back in the day, but it's still giving us life 
and showing that some art really does stand the test of time 
I mean we've got exhibitions galore this month 
at White Cube Mason's Yard in London, Patrick Heide Contemporary Art, Bernard Jacobson Gallery...and let's not forget the Portrait of Britain competition 
which has some seriously stunning entries 
can you even imagine creating something that long ago? 
it's crazy how our ancestors were already experimenting with art and self-expression back then... and Ai Weiwei has a new book out about censorship and AI 
I'm low-key worried about the impact of technology on art, but at the same time, it's cool to see artists pushing boundaries. 
but hey, his impact on pop culture can't be denied. and omg, ai weiwei's new book is like, exactly what we need right now 
i've been following his work for years and it's always so thought-provoking. can't wait to dive into the new book and learn more about censorship and AI's role in shaping our perceptions 
. Montez Press seems like a great platform for showcasing queer and feminist art - we need more representation in the art world! 
and btw has anyone seen the portrait of henry from portrait of britain? its so heartwarming 
embroidery & painting blended together creates this whole new aesthetic... i'm intrigued to see the show in london, def adding it to my bucket list 
also, sad to hear about beatriz gonzález passing away... her art was so impactful & i'm interested in learning more about montez press's mission 
. I mean, let's not forget about Montez Press and Sally Tallant, they're making some amazing waves in the art world 
! anyway, back to this art scene in london - love that they're showcasing andri warhol's work, he's like a legend! also, carali mccall's stuff is really interesting, exploring the lines between performance art and drawing is so cool 
.
... I mean, it's always those little details that get me, like what type of flour do you use? Anyway, back to this news article... have you ever noticed how some artists just get more interesting with age? Like, Ai Weiwei is still going strong at 75 and he's written a new book about censorship 
...
first off jessica rankin's abstract works are giving me LIFE - i love how she combines embroidery and painting to create these stunning pieces that look like they were made by a fairy 
. and can we talk about andy warhol for a sec? his art is still so relevant and thought-provoking even after all these years 
. what do u think about ai weiwei's new book on censorship? 
. And Ai Weiwei's new book on censorship is super timely - we need more conversations about AI and its impact on our world 
. And have you seen Montez Press' queer and feminist art projects? They're doing some amazing work 
like, do we ever see the truth anyway?
So yeah, Nottingham's definitely got the vibe this week
