On view 15 May–1 November 2025, the exhibition includes two major new bodies of work. The first series of four large-scale paintings shows Joffe’s partner, Richard. The second series depicts the writer Charlie Porter in the immediate aftermath of the death of both his parents. These are accompanied by smaller portraits that explore masculinity as a fluid state, full of possibilities of tenderness and change.
‘After my father’s death, I came face to face with grief in a painter’s studio’ – read Charlie Porter in the Financial Times
