Flux and Hues | Khloe Baker & Rhubarbs

Exhibition Open Friday 9 May - Friday 20 June
Opening Night Thursday 8 May 5-7pm

We are thrilled to present this joint exhibition as the recipients of the BLANK_ Ones to Watch Award.

Flux and Hues, at BLANK_ University Centre Leeds, features the work of Khloe Baker and Rhubarbs. Selected from Sunny Bank Mills' Ones to Watch 2024, a showcase of Yorkshire’s most exciting art graduates.

Khloe and Rhubarbs’ work stood out for their playful and humourous approaches to their work. From illustrations to ceramics, Flux and Hues brings their work together. 

Rhubarbs’ world is cloaked in garish pinks and brooding greens. At the heart of her work lies a jubilant fusion of creativity and nonconformity, inspired by their intersex identity. Rhubarbs’ work invites viewers to consider  fertility, and ritualistic madness. 

Khloe Baker creates anecdotal illustrations, collecting passing experiences that evoke a sense of belonging or familiarity.  buildings and the stories which inhabit them. The work documents incidental scenes such as the snow outside of a bakery, people gathered outside of a cinema, or a haircut in Hyde Park. Khloe's latest series, Self Portraits is a departure from the artists usual role as an onlooker as she places herself within the narrative, sharing people and places which hold significance to her.
