In her paintings, figurative cut-outs and installations, Lubaina Himid approaches questions of identity through the celebration of Black creativity and political agency. In Leave to cool, Staying in and Going out (2020), paintings created during the COVID-19 lockdown, the artist uses complex constellations of colour to explore intimacy and proximity.
