Juanita McNeely

On January 20, 2026, Lévy Gorvy Dayan opens an exhibition of Juanita McNeely’s revolutionary oeuvre, marking the first solo presentation of the late New York painter in London. Spanning paintings and works on paper from the 1960s to the 2010s, the exhibition charts five decades of her uncompromising practice, defined by a fearless and provocative approach to the human body.

A foundational feminist voice, McNeely worked amid shifting artistic, social, and political backdrops with visceral clarity and force. The works on view reflect her lifelong commitment to breaking taboos and speaking out about women’s experiences—touching on the highs and lows of pleasure and pain, sexuality, bodily functions, and disability. Inviting a timely revisitation of McNeely’s life and practice, the exhibition recognizes a historical visionary whose work remains urgently contemporary.

The opening will be from 6–8 PM on Tuesday, January 20.
