In her first solo exhibition at a UK institution, Tala Madani will present a large selection of both new and recent works at Nottingham Contemporary. Combining the figurative and abstract in comic, paradoxical paintings and stop-motion animations, Madani’s work often reflects on masculinity, group dynamics, sexuality and power play. While resonating with the legacies of modern painting in her formal use of bold brushstrokes and striking compositions, the artist’s gleeful and sinister middle-aged protagonists serve as agents of the absurd.
