About
Presented in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Arts, Hide and Seek is a remarkable collection of unique works on paper spanning almost 40 years, and complimented from a selection of hand-picked drawings from the Swindon Collection by Eileen Cooper RA.
Cooper’s practice as a painter and printmaker is underpinned by highly individual drawings, which reveal her working methods and strongly autobiographical preoccupations. Celebrating themes including sexuality, birth, family, creativity and identity, Cooper’s distinctive imagery has afforded her much recognition and critical acclaim.
To accompany the exhibition we have a number of events taking place. Please visit our events page for more information.
