A fascinating yet comical exhibition has opened at London’s prestigious Tate Britain art space called Rude Britannia.
The show, which is running until September 5th, will allow visitors attending from their London hotel to discover all manner of saucy or rude artwork from the 1600s to the modern day.
Rude Britannia is split into several sections, with each room being curated by a different person, many of whom are well-known outside of the art world.
For instance, the Absurd room is curated by comedian Harry Hill, while cartoonists from the Viz have combined with Gerald Scarfe and Steve Bell to organise the display of items relating to politics and social satire.
“Gasp, cringe, or have a sly chuckle: Rude Britannia will certainly cause a reaction. See politicians brought down to size and the great and the good exposed,” noted the venue.
There are all sorts of pieces on show in this unique exhibition, ranging from postcards and photographs to sculptures and paintings.
While there is plenty to laugh at, there is also a more serious side, as the organisers intend to show visitors the power of comic art in terms of satirising politics and society.
Entrance costs £10, with the venue opening from 10:00 to 18:00 BST.
If people are interested in pursuing a similar topic they could even head along to the Comedy Art Forum on July 15th, with Harry Hill confirmed to appear.
