Spring has sprung in the British capital and it’s time to get out and about and see some shows,  to make it easier we’ve put together our list of the top six exhibitions opening in London this month especially for you.

1. Keiji Uematsu “Invisible Force” at Simon Lee
This exhibition of work by the conceptual artist Uematsu will include works dating from 1973 to 2016 documenting the artists entire career up to date.

Featuring sculpture, photographs, and drawings, “Invisible Force” explores the ideas behind Uematsu’s body of work in which natural forces of gravity, tension, and material attraction are central concerns.

“Invisible Force” will be on on view at Simon Lee, London, from April 8- May 6, 2016.

5. “John Latham: Spray Paintings” at Lisson Gallery
John Latham saw spray paint as a medium which would allow him to unite art and science, mind and matter. This particular aspect of his practice, explored in his seventh show for Lisson, is seen as being a key concern in his oeuvre; one which allowed the artist to develop ideas for later works.

“John Latham: Spray Paintings” is on view at Lisson Gallery, London, from April 1- May 7, 2016.

6. “Conceptual Art in Britain 1964-1979”  at Tate Britain 
This exhibition explores a time of great change in British culture, cutting off at the dawn of Thatcherism. It brings together art and artists that pushed the limits of what was considered to be art against the context of politics in Britain at the time.

“Conceptual Art in Britain 1964-1979“ in on view at Tate Britain, London, from April 12 –August 29, 2016.
