Thornton Dial: From Bessemer to the Cosmos
Edel Assanti until 14 March 2026
Coinciding with the ten year anniversary of American artist Thornton Dial's passing, Edel Assanti is opening ‘From Bessemer to the Cosmos’, marking the artist's first UK solo show. The exhibition brings together largely unseen works from a pivotal decade of his career from 1988-98. Dial drew on decades of manual labour and Southern traditions like 'yard shows' and quilting to create a bold, distinctive style that defied conventional art-world labels.
