ERASURE
Featuring Laís Amaral, Solange Pessoa and Dana Awartani
ERASURE
Opening 22 November | ERASURE brings together three international artists who address the destruction of the environment, social histories and cultural heritage through their work.
Featuring painting, sculpture, installation and moving image, this poetic exploration of how cultural memory and ecological health are intrinsically bound is held across the Foundation’s gallery spaces.
Laís Amaral
Rising Brazilian artist Laís Amaral presents a series of mixed-media paintings that grapple with environmental collapse, desertification and the erosion of cultural memory – many in relation to the Afro-Brazilian communities in which she worked as an activist.
Featuring paintings exhibited for the first time, this is her debut institutional presentation in Europe.
Solange Pessoa
One of Brazil’s most celebrated living artists, Solange Pessoa (b.1961) will present a collection of her carved pedra-sabão or soapstones across the floors of The Gallery.
Reminiscent of runes or cave paintings, these sculptures carry a profound sense of urgency, echoing our present moment of environmental crisis and the depletion of cultures and species.
Dana Awartani
Palestinian Saudi artist Dana Awartani’s multi-media installation references the craft, history and traditions of the Middle East, and serves as a poignant meditation on cultural destruction and the fragility of the natural world.
Featuring a geometric floor composition of coloured sand alongside a single-channel film, it resonates with renewed urgency in the current political climate.
Art in the Landscape
Experience a shift in perspective with the changing season, where works from the summer 2025 exhibition remain on view across our 70-acre landscape. Featured artists include Rachel Whiteread, Rose Wylie, Veronica Ryan, Susan Philipsz and Isamu Noguchi.
