SUMMARY:The Gallery Liverpool: The Gallery Liverpool: Caroline Coon - The G
 reat Offender
DESCRIPTION:Caroline Coon - The Great Offender\n4 May - 27 May (Preview 3 M
 ay)\n\nCaroline Coon\, the radical and provocative London artist\, as The 
 Great Offender\, brings her large feminist paintings to The Gallery Liverp
 ool. \nHer exhibition is one of the highlights of the gallery’s 2018 pro
 gramme\, ‘Perpetual Provocateurs’\, presenting the voices and artists 
 of the British counterculture curated by DuoVision. \nCaroline Coon\, a li
 felong political activist\, has worked at the vanguard of cultural movemen
 ts that have provoked social change in Britain\; the hippie ‘peace and l
 ove’ underground\, punk rock and feminism.\nIn the late 1960’s\, as st
 udent of fine art at Central St Martins\, she founded RELEASE\, the welfar
 e service that is today the national centre of expertise on drugs\, the la
 w and human rights. The RELEASE BUST CARD\, the first ‘know your rights
 ’ bust card in the world\, was designed\, created and distributed from h
 er studio in July 1967. In the 1980’s she managed The Clash\, and design
 ed the global revolution poster for their second album\, ‘Give em Enough
  Rope’. Her early punk photographs have been published around the world 
 and used as covers on The Clash single ‘White Riot’\, The Police's ‘
 Roxanne’ and Babyshambles ‘Janie Jones/Strumerville’.\nHer artwork i
 s didactic\, structured around narrative and imprinted by Pop Art\, Femini
 st Art and the politics of sexual liberation. With hermaphroditic\, she/he
  human or queer figures she confronts and destabilises patriarchal\, binar
 y sexual stereotypes. \nIn contrast to society's acceptance of the female 
 nude\, Coon's honest depiction of the male nude has been considered shocki
 ng - in 1995 the Tate Gallery banned her 'Mr Olympia' painting because it 
 showed an erect penis. \nThis is her first solo painting exhibition.
