THE ARTS CLUB, LONDON PRESENTS TWO SPRING EXHIBITIONS

The Arts Club is exhibiting the work of 92-year-old American artist Ida Applebroog, focusing on works from her recent Angry Birds of America series. A pioneer of the American and international feminist movement since the seventies, this exhibition is an example of Applebroog’s use of animal portraits as a medium of political investigation and criticism. The Arts Club’s exhibition coincides with the artist’s major solo show at Hauser & Wirth Somerset.
Reginald Sylvester II: Feelin’ Blue

The Arts Club is also exhibiting paintings by American artist Reginald Sylvester II in Reginald Sylvester II: Feelin’ Blue. Sylvester’s radical abstract works recall such artists as Elaine de Kooning and Joan Mitchell, informed by a range of experiences and research. Focalising Sylvester’s recent blue paintings, Feelin’ Blue sees a departure from his usual warmer palette in favour of cooler tones, inspired by Portishead's 1994 avant-garde trip-hop album Dummy.
