It starts with a body. Or rather, five of them. Not the kind you scroll past on your feed, but ones reimagined by figurative artists who use flesh, gesture and scene to ask what it means to be human. The Figure Out exhibition isn’t just about looking – it’s about peeling back the layers of selfhood, and maybe spotting fragments of your own reflection in the paint. Art has always been a conversation starter, a way of speaking without opening your mouth. Here, it becomes something more intimate, a diary written in colour and line. Life’s highs and lows are stitched into these works: bruises, longings, quirks, joy. The result? A reminder that identity is messy, tender and gloriously individual. You don’t need to fit a template – only to figure yourself out.
Until September 28. Free. ARDEL Gallery of Modern Art, 10am-6pm
