JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY PAINTING 11.1

Special Issue: ‘Carol Rhodes: Seen and Unseen’

This Special Issue compiles contributions from Carol Rhodes: Seen and Unseen, a day-long symposium that took place at the Glasgow School of Art in April 2024. The purpose of this event was to provoke a range of new writing around Rhodes’s paintings, exploring how existing scholarship on her practice might be both consolidated and expanded upon.
