Hew Locke's new exhibition: 'The Procession' at BALTIC

McKeown - Film Sub-Editor

Anew exhibition has just debuted at the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art. Titled The Procession, the exhibition initially featured at Tate and is the brainchild of Hew Locke.

The exhibition, situated on the fourth floor, invites visitors to "reflect on the cycles of history, and the ebb and flow of cultures, people and finance and power". It opened on Saturday 18th February and will be open until Sunday 11th June.

examining the figures and still spot new details to awe at. For a birds eye view, I recommend going up to the fifth floor as there is a balcony overlooking the exhibition.

Last year, Locke became a member of The Royal Academy of Arts in London.

Taking inspiration from his childhood in Guyana, Locke revisits his "artistic journey so far". The Procession is rich in colour and made up of dozens of figures traveling through space and time. Extremely detailed, viewers can take their time
