"The title of Ravelle Pillay’s solo show Revisitations at Goodman Gallery operates on two planes of meaning – 'revisiting', as in poring over reference materials, and “visitation”, as in haunting.

Emerging after the sudden death of her father in late 2025, Pillay’s latest body of painting extends her practice’s use of personal archives as well as British national ones, investigating the complexities of her lineage (South African Indian, British) through the lens of colonial history. In the artist’s words, these public repositories are 'the centre of knowledge for any place that has been colonised'. She continues: 'if you want to learn more about your [identity], go to where it is kept.'" — Emily Watkins

Revisitations is at until 16 July 2026
