Antonia Showering

Gentle Hands is on display in the Walker Art Gallery @walkerartgallery from 16 May till 31 August. The show is called Gender Stories, and explores the role art can play in questioning traditional gender roles, tracing the spectrum of genders through personal stories across time and place. Featuring artworks by David Hockney, Catherine Opie, Grayson Perry, Zanele Muholi, Yinka Shonibare, Ebun Sodipo, James Tissot, Sarah Biffen and Lawrence Alma-Tadema, among others. I first visited the Walker Art Gallery in 2018 during the Liverpool Biennial, it feels very special to now have a painting on display there !

NEW ACQUISITION We are delighted to announce that @pallanthousegallery has acquired the painting “Secret Language” (2024–25) by Antonia Showering. Antonia Showering (b.1991) is a British figurative artist known for her enigmatic and psychologically complex works. Her paintings often unfold in domestic and interior spaces, where figures appear absorbed in their own thoughts, relationships, and emotional worlds. In “Secret Language,” these qualities take on added significance when considered in relation to motherhood, for the painting reflects the artist’s own experiences as both artist and mother. Historically, motherhood has been both central to art and curiously obscured within it - frequently depicted yet rarely expressed from the inside. Showering’s work contributes to a growing number of contemporary artists (including @carolinewalkerartist whose exhibition ‘Mothering’ is currently on show at the Gallery) who reclaim this space, foregrounding the psychological depth, ambiguity, and complexity of maternal experience. By engaging with these themes, “Secret Language” also speaks to a broader rethinking of artistic production itself — challenging outdated distinctions between the studio and the domestic, and recognising how creativity and caregiving can coexist, inform, and reshape one another. The painting was the centrepiece of Showering’s New York debut at @timothytaylorgallery and has been generously funded by an anonymous donor. We are planning to place it on display @pallanthousegallery next week.

»Girl trägt ihre berühmten Tränen wie Schmuck. Wie aus Kummer geblasene Glasperlen. Jede Träne braucht etwa fünf Sekunden, um sich in ihrem Augenwinkel zu bilden. Man muss vorsichtig sein, wenn man Girl fragt, wie es ihr geht.« – Deborah Levy, BILLY & GIRL 💎 Billy und Girl sind jeder Junge und jedes Mädchen, die vom Schmerz ihrer Kindheit gezeichnet sind, die vergessen, was sie vergessen müssen, die Welten erfinden, von denen sie argwöhnisch hoffen, dass sie besser sein könnten. Unverfroren, multiperspektivisch, bissig und skurril zeichnet Levy in diesem frühen Roman – 1996 erschienen, nun erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung – das Porträt einer verlorenen Jugend, die sich durchschlägt in einer Welt, die so kalt ist wie die Tiefkühltruhen in Freezerworld. ❄️ BILLY & GIRL von Deborah Levy, übersetzt von Marion Hertle @muedemarion , lektoriert von Vivian Tresch @viviantresch , mit Coverkunst von Antonia Showering @antoniashowering , gestaltet von Naomi Baldauf @pigeonvoyageur_papeterie und gesetzt von Jan Kermes @__herr_k__ erscheint am 16. September. Es ist schon vorbestellbar! #deborahlevy #antoniashowering #akiverlag

A distinct shift in bodily and spatial awareness often emerges after a woman becomes a mother. ⁠ ⁠ As both a painter and a new mother, British artist @antoniashowering seems to have fully channeled this heightened consciousness into her latest body of work in her New York debut at @timothytaylorgallery . ⁠ ⁠ Read more by @elisartgal at the link in our bio
