Nature / Nurture
16 - 21 July, The Department Store, Brixton
Six years in the making, this show brought together two interconnected bodies of work exploring identity, and queerness in relation to the natural world.
The exhibition featured new, large scale portraits of influential LGBTQIA+ figures alongside work made in Aotearoa New Zealand of native birds, flora and the land.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Private View.

Sarah Jane Moon (1982) is a New Zealand British painter known for her bold, large scale portraits that explore identity, gender and connection to place. Her work is characterised by the use of dynamic colour and expressive gesture that loudly proclaims her admiration and respect for those who are living lives on their own terms.
Moon's work is collected and exhibited internationally and held in major collections including that of the National Portrait Gallery, the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford, Soho House, the Alexander Turnbull Library and the James Wallace Trust.
She is Chair of the Contemporary British Portrait Painters.
