The British artists Maggi Hambling and Sarah Lucas are friends. Good friends. They first met on 23 October 2000, their shared birthday, at the legendary Colony Room Club in Soho, introduced by mutual friend, artist and Soho dandy Sebastian Horsley (1962- 2010), who featured at various times in each of their works. This winter, Sadie Coles HQ and Frankie Rossi Art Projects will present a unique exhibition by Maggi Hambling and Sarah Lucas spanning two galleries on Bury Street. The exhibition will reveal the affinities between the artist’s distinct approaches – above all, their sense of life’s proximity to death, and their defiant – defining – exuberance.
