Hurvin Anderson: Salon Paintings opens tomorrow at Kistefos Museum, Norway.

Hurvin Anderson first painted a Birmingham-based barbershop in 2006. For more than 15 years, Anderson has repeatedly reworked the same barbershop in a multitude of ways to explore key painting styles, shifting from figuration to abstraction, and experimenting with the classic genres of still life, landscape and portraiture.

The exhibition focuses on Anderson’s Barbershop series of paintings as a lens through which to understand his wider practice and central concerns of memory, identity and nationhood.

Hurvin Anderson: Salon Paintings is part of a European tour in collaboration with The Hepworth Wakefield and Hastings Contemporary, and marks the artist’s first solo exhibition in Norway.
