More than 80 paintings from across Hurvin Anderson’s entire career are going on display at Tate Britain in what will be the first major show on the artist. The youngest of eight and the first to be born in the UK after his family moved to Birmingham from Jamaica in the 1960s, Anderson’s work reflects his experiences of belonging and diaspora. His rich, colourful works often include family members, experiences from his youth and places of significance, like the barbershop, which he sometimes layers as a way of exploring the ideas of memory and tension around cultural heritage.
