Hayward Gallery Gallery in London

Known for deceptively simple figures and childlike faces, Nara’s practice links punk music, memory, solitude, rebellion, spirituality, and popular culture through paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, and room-like installations.

Thomas creates rhinestone-rich portraits, staged interiors, photographs, and installations that foreground Black women, queer desire, glamour, and art-historical quotation while challenging inherited conventions of beauty and representation.

A feminist artist associated with punk and post-punk culture, Linder uses photomontage, photography, performance, and sculpture to dismantle gender stereotypes, consumer imagery, and the visual codes of desire.

Yang builds multisensory installations from everyday and craft materials, connecting abstraction, folklore, migration, modernism, and social histories through blinds, bells, light, scent, paper, and sculptural assemblage.

Strachan’s conceptual practice combines sculpture, immersive installation, neon, research, and performance to recover overlooked explorers and cultural figures, linking Black history, science, mythology, and ideas of visibility.

Sugimoto’s precise photographic series investigate time, perception, memory, architecture, and illusion, often using large-format cameras and historical processes to question what photography can record or invent.

Nelson is known for immersive, psychologically charged environments made from salvaged materials, constructing fictional worlds that evoke countercultures, failed ideologies, dark histories, and unstable systems of belief.

Bourgeois developed a deeply autobiographical practice around memory, sexuality, trauma, and repair, using sculpture, fabric, cells, spiders, and bodily forms to transform private anxiety into powerful symbolic structures.
