How does Michael Armitage charge his paintings with such electricity? This show features just 15 of his works but their power is tangible. Alongside them are 31 works by figurative East African artists, selected by Armitage in honour of their critical impact on his practice. All of Armitage’s paintings here are made on lubugo bark and for an artist who was born in Kenya but trained at art schools in London, you can see why a distinctly East African textile would appeal. With all the vitality of its imperfections, the fibrous grain of the cloth, scarred with the seams where patches have been stitched together, energises his compositions.
