Join us for the opening night of Autograph's solo exhibition by Maxine Walker, reintroducing a pioneering artist whose practice focused on representations of black womanhood.

Maxine Walker: Untitled is a poignant exploration of identity by a young artist at the height of her career - using photography to interrogate the intricacies of skin, blackness and being. Active between 1985 - 1997, this is Walker’s first solo exhibition in more than twenty-two years.

In her seminal series of self portraits Untitled (1996), a sequence of ten portraits share a charged visual journey as she seemingly peels away layers of her surface skin, conjuring a narrative that is more sinister than playful, intimating that her blackness cannot - and must not - be stripped away. Magnifying the delicacy of her skin, we are invited to consider complex notions of beauty, masquerade, and vulnerability.
