‘Mixing It Up: Painting Today’

Painting is the artform that just won’t quit, and this survey show – featuring dozens of brilliant contemporary brush-wielders– proves that the medium is alive, kicking, and ready to get into a fist fight.

Hayward Gallery. Sep 9-Dec 12. £12.

‘Helen Frankenthaler: Radical Beauty’

Frankenthaler was one of America’s most important mid-century painters, a genre-defining abstract expressionist whose big canvases stand shoulder to shoulder with any of the men of the movement, all of whom get way more attention than she does.

Dulwich Picture Gallery. Sep 15-Apr 18 2022. £16.50.

Theaster Gates: ‘A Clay Sermon’

This brilliant American artist uses material like tar, roofing tiles and – in this instance – clay to create big, heavy, conceptual works about community building, race relations and global trade.

Whitechapel Gallery. Sep 29-Jan 9 2022. Free.
