<\/svg><\/span>Vision on \u2026 Frank Bowling\u2019s Swan, 1964.<\/span> Photograph: Anna Arca\/Frank Bowling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Frank Bowling<\/strong>
The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, <\/em>27 March<\/em> to 17 January<\/em>
This mesmerising visionary paints on a heroic, historical scale in haunting abstract veils of molten colour. He was a contemporary of Hockney and other British pop artists but, unlike them, embraced the sublime modernism of the American abstract expressionist school, whose grandeur helps him to evoke personal and global maps.<\/p>\n

Hurvin Anderson<\/strong>
Tate Britain, London, <\/em>26 March<\/em> to 23 August<\/em>
Paintings that subtly nudge realistic, well-observed scenes, indoors and out, into a lyrical poetry of colour. Greens and blacks, blues and yellows bloom on Anderson\u2019s brush. His landscapes lead your eye deeper and deeper into worlds that at first seem ordinary and quiet but reveal multitudes. A very fine artist.<\/p>\n

Bruegel to Rembrandt<\/strong>
Compton Verney, Warwickshire, to 28 June<\/em>
The visions of Pieter Bruegel the Elder delight and fascinate with carnivals and monstrous wonders. Yet his fine drawings reveal what a precise and organised artist he is. This exhibition takes his designs as its starting point to survey north European Renaissance and baroque drawings up to Rembrandt\u2019s great sketches.<\/p>\n

Catherine Opie<\/strong>
National Portrait Gallery, London, to 31 May<\/em>
Identity is held up to the light in Opie\u2019s full-faced, highly formal yet profoundly ambiguous photographs. Her people look at you defiantly, and she honours them with portraiture in a grand vein, in pictures that echo such old masters as Ingres and even Rembrandt \u2013 but queered. A provocative, powerful artist. Jonathan Jones<\/em><\/p>\n

David Elms<\/strong>
The Old Hairdresser\u2019s, Glasgow, <\/em>22 March<\/em>; touring to 30 May<\/em>
David Elms Describes a Room is a soothing improvised show whose premise \u2013 the comedian fields contributions to build up a picture of an imaginary room \u2013 is both emotionally involving and understatedly clever. Rachel Aroesti<\/em><\/p>\n
