Auras: Portraits of Women by British Artists

Opening March 6, Lévy Gorvy Dayan presents Auras, an exhibition exploring connections and divergences between two generations of British figurative painters through their portrayals of women. Among the works included are images of friends and lovers, models and muses, empowered individuals and anonymous enigmas—articulated in ways that range from forceful realism to the symbolic and allegorical. The exhibition includes paintings by Frank Auerbach, Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, David Hockney, R. B. Kitaj, Leon Kossoff, and Paula Rego alongside works by contemporary artists Jenny Saville, Alison Watt, and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye.
