Battersea's local art gallery will be reopening on Wednesday January, 12 after the Christmas period.

Visitors can be sure to enjoy the works of Anna Perach and Anousha Payne until Friday February, 4.

Cooke Latham Gallery said: "The artists have collaborated to create an immersive installation in which their contracting aesthetic practices are united by the shared themes and concepts that permeate their work."

The exhibition entitled As She Laughs has filled the gallery with four large sculptures which dominate the space, three figurative works and a giant head which hangs suspended by chains in the centre of the gallery.

Payne and Perach have said that myth and folklore act as inspiration behind both artistic practises.

This is the first act of the exhibition and visitors can enjoy the second where the sculptures will be undressed and their limbs scattered across the gallery walls.

Cooke Latham says that these are sculptures without a comfortable resolution.

"The fractured body parts echo the fractured narratives from which they emerge; they have been captured in the moment of transformation," said a spokesperson of the gallery.

Visits to the gallery are free and it is open Wednesday-Friday from January, 12.

Cooke Latham at 41 Parkgate road, SW11 4NP.
