Black Presence, has been curated by artist Nahem Shoa, who has chosen a large selection of his striking oil paintings of black sitters, that will be shown alongside key portraits by a wide range of British artists from the 18th century to the present day. Nahem Shoa is especially keen to increase the number of positive images of black people in British art collections and has donated many of his own works to this effect. This exhibition includes, among others, work by Joshua Reynolds, Desmond Haughton and Sonia Boyce, as well as Allan Ramsay’s outstanding ‘Portrait of an African (probably Ignatius Sancho)’.
Some of the paintings in the exhibition are from The Atkinson’ collection and the contrast with Nahem’s work is immediately obvious. Historic images including those from The Atkinson’s collection tend to be negative and based on a limited number of stereotypes – Stephen Whittle, Principal Manager, The Atkinson |

Nahem Shoa was born in London in 1968. His parents are from Jewish, Scottish, Yemeni, Eritrean, and Russian backgrounds and he grew up in Notting Hill, London one of Britain’s most culturally diverse neighborhoods. In his teens he worked as a graffiti artist before studying at Manchester Collage of Art, the Princes Drawing School and with Robert Lenkiewicz.
Shoa states, “Without all these friends sitting for me for free, who believed in me and my art I would have been unable to follow my artistic dream. I appreciate them giving so much of their valuable time by posing for me over long periods of time. I hope the final portraits and naked portraits are a fitting testimony to this shared passion and commitment.” |
Desiree Sanderson speaks about the process of sitting for artist Nahem Shoa's painting DESIREE ON THE BED. She talks about friendship, racism, learning to love herself and how powerful she felt sitting for Nahem Shoa over many years.
Multiculturalism is now acknowledged as a fact of life in 21st century Britain. Shoa’s paintings of his friends are a unique contribution to celebrate this mix of race. The exhibition is on Saturday 21 September 2019 until Saturday 23 November 2019, open Mon – Sat, 10am – 4pm and is free entry. An illustrated catalogue of the exhibition will be available to purchase.
