About the Artist
As leader of emerging art collective Solar Collective 22, Axematic creates stunning contemporary portraits inspired by Renaissance masters like Caravaggio and Van Eyck.

Set within Sir Henry Tate's stunning 1890s Grade II listed library, this FREE exhibition showcases powerful social commentary on history, race, community and culture - creating conversations that are thought-provoking and inspiring at this crucial time.
This is more than an art opening - it's a celebration of Black excellence, community and the stories that bring us together.
