Born in Lithuania in 1939, Antanas Sutkus is considered one of the greatest photographers of the former Soviet Union. A self-taught photographer, he built his body of work under the communist regime. Turning the traps of political censorship into anecdotes, he describes daily life with accuracy, tenderness, sometimes irony, with a powerful visual vocabulary and a resistance to systems and outside influences.
Sue Steward is the Photography Critic for the London Evening Standard and for BBC Radio 2. She is a Curator and Editor, who has worked on numerous newspapers and magazines, including the Daily Telegraph Arts & Books, The Sunday Times and Time Out.
We are currently showing: Seeing Through a Glass Darkly, a photographic exhibition of 7 artists from Lithuania and Russia.
