Back to Front: Nettie Wakefield & Edward Haslam

About

Something in the Attic is thrilled to introduce Back to Front, a two-person exhibition of drawings by Nettie Wakefield and Edward Haslam. Both artists have worked in conjunction for the first time to produce a new body of figurative portraits revealing the front and back of their subjects. Nettie's work captures a focused representation of the back of the head, a lucid snapshot of reality, whilst Edward's work subtly subverts reality, exploring an area of the face that is disconnected from the figure. The collaboration brings vigour to their respective style, as they play off one another's ideas in a dialogue that runs through this series of drawings.
