Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Carol Robertson's new exhibition is her first in London since she took part in a "Quality of Light" at the Tate Gallery St Ives in 1997. There she had a number of works with circles set against soft toned backgrounds. One in particular has stayed very clearly in my mind. It was of two pale yellow rings - the effect was deeply contemplative.
In the two years since then her basic repertoire of shapes hasn't much changed, but the new work has a very different feel. There's a new energy and intensity. As before, the paintings are precisely and beautifully made, but instead of gentle hues there's a striking mix of cobalt blues with citrus yellows and reds. This work has a more instant appeal, only time will tell if it will be as lasting.
