Galleries often showcase their most recognisable and conventional works, while many intriguing pieces remain in storage. Objects that resist easy categorisation, challenge aesthetic expectations, or simply sit outside familiar narratives remain unseen.
Strange Company brings together unusual, unseen and overlooked works from the LRG Collection. Some are playful, or experimental, others bold, excessive, or unsettling. Many push against traditional ideas of scale, material, subject or taste.
Rather than labelling these works as strange, the exhibition recognises the richness that exists beyond conventional definitions of beauty or importance. Seen together, these works keep strange company, revealing unexpected connections and reminding us that collections are shaped not only by what is displayed, but also by what remains unseen.
