5 Must See UK Art Exhibitions 2019/20

"In Eliasson’s captivating installations you become aware of your senses, people around you and the world beyond.

Some artworks introduce natural phenomena such as rainbows to the gallery space. Others use reflections and shadows to play with the way we perceive and interact with the world. Many works result from the artist’s research into complex geometry, motion patterns, and his interest in colour theory. All but one of the works have never been seen in the UK before.

Within the exhibition will be an area which explores Eliasson’s deep engagement with society and the environment. Discover what an artist’s perspective can bring to issues of climate change, energy, migration as well as architecture. And once every other week you’ll be able to communicate with people from Eliasson’s 100-strong team in his Berlin studio via a live link." - Tate Modern

2. Next is Modern Art and St Ives at Tate, St Ives. As a lover of modern and abstract art, I would love to be heading to Cornwall to browse the history of modern art in St Ives.


"For the first time, Tate will be able to dedicate spaces to exploring the history of modern art in St Ives, giving key artists a permanent presence in the town where they lived and worked. This new display will follow those artists across the 20th century, revealing their relationships to international art histories. From the unique perspective of St Ives, visitors will be able to bridge geographical and chronological boundaries and discover new connections through familiar artists." - Tate

Tate St Ives is open daily 10-5:20pm.

3. Are you a fan of portrait paintings? Then you'll be wanting to head to the exhibition held at National Gallery, London at the moment.

The Credit Suisse Exhibition: Gauguin Portraits.
7 October 2019 - 26 January 2020
Location: Sainsbury Wing


This is the first-ever exhibition devoted to the portraits of Paul Gauguin, which I think is a reason to visit in it's self. Experience expressive portraits and get inspired by his self portraits.

"Featuring about fifty works, the exhibition includes paintings, works on paper, and three-dimensional objects in a variety of media, from public and private collections worldwide. It also brings together multiple works of the same sitter from different collections scattered across the world, giving us the opportunity to see how Gauguin interpreted a model in different media over time." - National Gallery

4. I'm certainly a lover of an exhibition with a difference which is why Cut & Paste: Years of Collage quickly became of interest to me.
