James Hyman Gallery Now Represents Caroline Coon
The James Hyman Gallery has revealed its new representation of Caroline Coon, a British artist, writer, photographer, and feminist activist born in London in 1945. Over the last sixty years, Coon has emerged as a significant figure in counter-culture. The gallery plans to showcase key works from her career, featuring multi-figure compositions, urban landscapes, and still-lifes. Coon's art combines post-war figuration with themes of sexual politics and counter-cultural narratives. With training from Northampton College of Art and Central Saint Martins, she utilizes a sharp, elevated figurative style to explore themes of bodies, desire, and social power with both clarity and humor. In 1967, she was a co-founder of Release, a legal-advice organization.
