Online Exhibition Features Four Major British Artists on Artsy Platform

Calder Contemporary is presenting an online exhibition titled 'Perception & Provocation' on the Artsy platform from March 12 to April 12, 2026. The digital showcase brings together four prominent British artists: Bridget Riley, Damien Hirst, Banksy, and David Hockney. The exhibition focuses on works that create immediate visual impact and emotional engagement rather than requiring intellectual analysis. Bridget Riley contributes pieces spanning six decades of her optical art career, including 'Nineteen Greys Portfolio' from 1968 and 'Rose Rose AP' from 2011. Damien Hirst presents works exploring themes of beauty and mortality, such as 'Untitled B (Spot Drawing)' from 2025 and 'The Currency' from 2016. Banksy includes politically charged works like 'Love Is In The Air' from 2003 and 'Girl with Balloon (Signed)' from 2004. David Hockney showcases his mastery of light and space with works including 'Paper Pools' from 1980 and 'David Hockney No 778 My Window' from 2019. The exhibition features transparent pricing for all works, with pieces ranging from £10,000 to £210,000. Calder Contemporary emphasizes that the online format makes significant contemporary art accessible to a global audience regardless of geographical location. The gallery positions the exhibition as an opportunity for viewers to experience art that connects directly with emotional responses rather than purely intellectual interpretation.
