Hastings Contemporary is excited to present the first major solo exhibition in a UK gallery of work by the leading German-Brazilian artist, Janaina Tschäpe. Filling Hastings Contemporary’s largest gallery space, the exhibition features a dramatic new series of paintings and works on paper created by Tschäpe in direct response to her experience of visiting the wet and stormy Hastings in the winter of 2025. The works will be complemented by a film piece.

Moore / Freud will be the first exhibition to explore the distinctive ways in which Henry Moore and Lucian Freud drew upon familial bonds and intimate relationships as crucial sources of artistic inspiration. Bringing together a focused selection of 20 works, including maquettes, works on paper, and paintings, the exhibition presents two towering figures of the 20th century side by side through a shared and deeply personal theme.

This summer, Hastings Contemporary is delighted to present the first solo show in a major UK gallery of work by the internationally celebrated Argentinian-born artist, Miguel Rothschild. Referencing the unique location of Hastings Contemporary as a gallery facing the sea and situated directly on the beach, the exhibition will include a dramatic new, site-specific seascape installation, shown alongside recent works which explore the elemental power of the sea.
