The Victoria Miro Gallery is one of the largest commercial art spaces in London today. Like many others of its kind its success can be attributed to its juxtaposition of established names with younger talent. This approach means that a visit can be full of surprises; works veer from the famous to the unknown as quickly as you turn a corner.
Renowned for nurturing younger artists, Victoria Miro knows the scene like the back of its hand. Any art aficionado worth their weight in canvas should definitely check it out.

Reviews
Poetic
Monday, 17 January
Francesca Woodman
The exhibition is a series of black and white photographs that are both playful and morbid. Woodman's abstract nudes, each in turn captivating and intriguing, use innovative camera techniques and composition. She plays with blurred movement against barren backgrounds to create an atmosphere of melancholy and secrecy. Her partially hidden subjects and grim locations lends to the sense of abandonment her images evoke. Her self-portraits give an insight into her short, but very creative life.
With a subtle hint of surrealism, Woodman's mixture of the mischievous and the demure in this collection will make this interesting for photographers wishing to find inspiring portraiture. However, be quick. The exhibition is due to close on the 22nd January.
In January 1981, American photographer Francesca Woodman committed suicide at age 22 by jumping off a building. She left behind an extensive body of work, consisting of more than 800 pictures. Since 1986 her work has been exhibited globally and has been subject of critical study.
