Joan Snyder: Six amazing London art exhibitions closing in February 2025 It’s your last chance to get this art in your eyes

By Eddy Frankel

There are lots of new exhibitions coming up in London next month, with plenty to get excited about. But before the new, we must wave goodbye to the old.

Some of London’s best exhibitions are closing in the next few weeks to make way for the new stuff, and chances are you were too busy with mince pies and Traitors to have caught many of these. So here you go, this is your last chance to see some of the best shows of the year. Be quick. 

Joan Snyder: ‘Body and Soul’ at Thaddaeus Ropac, closing Feb 5

While the big, imposing, hefty men of mid-century American abstraction were trying to reshape the course of art, Joan Snyder was doing something quieter, but no less important. Now 84, Snyder has spent her life using abstraction not for grand gestures, but for smaller, personal ones. Written across the walls of this career-spanning show is a lifetime of emotions and feelings, of memories and experiences, in big bursts of shape and colour.

Joan Snyder: ‘Body and Soul’ is at Thaddaeus Ropac until Feb 5.
