Overview
My Mother Seated, by Clare Shenstone
My Mother Seated, by Clare Shenstone
'Looking Backwards, Moving Forwards' is a journey of rediscovery and celebration, which honours the enduring legacy of Clare Shenstone and paves the way for her rightful place in the history of Contemporary Art.

In the annals of art history, the name Clare Shenstone has often been forgotten, overshadowed by the artist's close association with her mentor and close friend, Francis Bacon (28 October 1909 - 28 April 1992). Yet, Shenstone's artistic genius stands alone in all of its power, awaiting rediscovery and reclamation. While Shenstone's works already sit in esteemed collections such as the National Portrait Gallery and the Sainsbury Centre, there remains an imperative to further champion her extraordinary practice in its own right. 'Looking Backwards, Moving Forwards' is a journey of rediscovery and celebration, which honours the enduring legacy of Clare Shenstone and paves the way for her rightful place in the history of Contemporary Art.
