Put ‘Em Up!
Curated by Omar Mazhar and Robin Katz
11 June – 17 July 2025
Tristan Hoare Gallery, London
The exhibition traces a sustained preoccupation with what hands do and what they signify. Raised in blessing, closed in resolve or laid open in address, the hand persists as one of the most economical and exacting forms by which art has represented the human.
It is at once the most ordinary and the most miraculous of instruments — the site where thought becomes action, where inner life reaches outward and leaves its mark upon the world. To paint or sculpt a hand is, in some sense, to portray the very faculty of making itself.
Susan will be exhibiting Venus and Adonis XVIII.
