"In the 80s and 90s, black women artists were not part of the mainstream debate," Lubaina Himid recalls, as she prepares to represent Britain at the next Venice Biennale. "The YBAs were incredibly strong and making very dynamic work that spoke to the moment."
It was originally used to describe the first art exhibition in Venice.
A century later, artist Pardeep Singh put on display his oil-on-canvas work, ‘Moonlit’, to convey his impressions of a tree whose leaves are flickering a silvery hue in the celestial beams of the night.
