Event Summary

A major survey of 3 decades of Heidi Wigmore's diverse practice including large canvas banners, drawing and found objects. Known for her bold visual strategies and psychologically charged imagery, she explores the complex ways femininity is constructed and performed

Event Description

'State of Her' occupies the entire ground floor of the Beecroft, Southend-on-Sea's City Gallery, one of the venues for New Contemporaries 2027. Wigmore has developed a hybrid visual language drawing upon mass media imagery, female archetypes and art histories as a wry commentary on contemporary womanhood. The exhibition celebrates her longevity as an artist: she has never stopped making work since graduating from Norwich School of Art in 1985, Art and Life are inseparable and the DIY spirit endures
