Spike Island presents the first major survey of Guyanese-British artist Donald Locke. Born and raised in Guyana, Locke moved to the UK in 1954 as part of the Windrush Generation. The exhibition includes early ceramics inspired by natural forms and the human body, and larger scale paintings and sculptures exploring issues around history and identity. The show will then tour to Ikon Gallery, Birmingham and Camden Art Centre, London.
