INSIGHT 2.0 is an exhibition series presenting new works by artists in the Pippy Houldsworth Gallery viewing rooms. Reviving the format of the gallery's INSIGHT programme inaugurated online in 2020, each solo presentation is accompanied by a video of the artist in their studio, shedding light on their working practice and inner world.
For the first edition, London-based artist Liorah Tchiprout presents Unlock a new door, featuring a series of paintings on panel and board, alongside works on paper, on view both virtually and in person at the gallery. In this new body of work, the artist offers a fresh perspective on her signature handmade dolls, depicting them in novel compositions and expanding the narrative of their imaginary world. The title of the exhibition quotes the Rabbi Nachman of Breslov: 'All that new beginnings require is you to unlock a new door'. Tchiprout has spent the past few months creating a coterie of new dolls from which to draw inspiration, grounding herself with a series of ink drawings and smaller paintings as these figures evolve, unlocking a new door.
