This large solo exhibition will focus on the Barbershop series as a lens through which to understand Hurvin Anderson’s wider practice and key concerns of memory, identity and nationhood.

Alongside the Barbershop exhibition, Hurvin Anderson will curate a display of paintings drawn from public collections in the UK to take visitors on a journey through his formative influences and highlight the importance of art historical references in his work

This exhibition will present the outcomes of a significant research project, Hepworth’s Progeny, hosted by The Hepworth Wakefield (2021-23) in collaboration with art historian Griselda Pollock and sculptor Lorna Green.
