Installation Views
Birdsong features over 25 works in various media from a diverse mix of established artists and rising talents, and includes several works from artists in the gallery’s program. With many pieces drawn directly from the artists’ studios, the exhibition creates a unique opportunity to explore new ideas and cultivate unique dialogues.
All profits from this exhibition will benefit The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity’s mission to improve the lives of people affected by cancer – supporting an institution where Taylor himself was treated for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma as a young man. The exhibition’s title is inspired by the title of Sebastian Faulks’ book of the same name, evoking a symbol of hope and resilience in the face of mortality.
“My family has supported The Royal Marsden’s world-leading research efforts since my own experience with lymphoma. I have seen their passion first-hand, and I thank every participating artist for their generosity in supporting this cause. Birdsong embodies the joy that art can lend even in the most challenging circumstances.” – Timothy Taylor
