Beryl Cook's saucy postcard paintings meet the homoerotic leather and jeans typified by Tom of Finland, both artists pushing societal boundaries in their own ways.
The exhibition cleverly juxtaposes the artists' works, showcasing the contrast between Cook's more rounded and realistic figures and Tom of Finland's fit and toned men.
Beyond the art, the exhibition sheds light on the artists' soft politics, with Tom overtly pushing against the criminalisation of being gay, while Cook subtly challenges societal barriers in her depictions.
