'“BIG WOMEN” comes with an emphasis on the word “Big”. This is a big group show of 24 leading British women artists, each of whom is a big character in her own right. The focus is on the experience of women in later life, the show having grown out of one organised by the curator, Sarah Lucas, in 2020, which derived from discussion of the experience of becoming a Señora rather than a Señorita ...
In “times dominated by male aggression, politicking, greed, war and pig-headedness”, Lucas suggests that we need the mix of seriousness and humour, thoughtfulness and light-heartedness, brashness and sensitivity, and spirituality and humanism which characterises this exhibition.'
