Denzil Forrester Itchin & Scratchin

8 February 2020—11 April 2021
Nottingham Contemporary; Spike Island, Bristol, UK

Spanning more than 40 years, Itchin & Scratchin is Denzil Forrester’s most significant institutional show to date, bringing together a wide range of paintings and drawings by the Grenada-born British artist. The exhibition roams from London to Rome and New York, from Jamaica to Cornwall. Pulsing with music and movement, these nocturnal scenes are by turns intimate and ecstatic, singular records of the Afro-Caribbean experience in Britain.

This exhibition was a partnership between Nottingham Contemporary and Spike Island in Bristol.
