DESCRIPTION: 

Chadwick was recognised as one of the leading exponents of the controversial late 20th century British art scene and was mentor and lecturer to Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin. A highlight of this exhibition is the inclusion of a rare and highly regarded montage from her ‘Viral Landscape’ series (five large scale photographic montages, 4' high and 10' long, displayed as a panoramic frieze). In each montage the artist's photograph of a rocky and savage coastal landscape is partially overlaid and merged with enlarged images of cells from her own body. There is a strange irony in the choice of title in this work which brought her to such public prominence as she would subsequently die prematurely through a viral infection.
