NOW OPEN - at Pallant House, Chichester is British Landscapes: A Sense of Place (https://pallant.org.uk/whats-on/british-landscapes-a-sense-of-place/)- which explores through works by more than 60 artists from the 18th to the 20th century responses to the landscapes of the British Isles. Spanning Romanticism, Modernism and postwar abstraction, the exhibition traces a rich lineage from Thomas Gainsborough and the golden age of British watercolour to the postwar works of Prunella Clough, Terry Frost, Barbara Hepworth, Paul Nash, Ben Nicholson and Eric Ravilious. Barns-Graham is wonderfully represented by two works from the Pallant House Collection, a drawing of St Ives from 1955, previously owned by George and Ann Dannatt which is hung alongside works by Ben Nicholson and Alan Reynolds and 'Snow at Wharfedale' 1957, presented to the gallery by the Trust in 2015, which can be seen displayed between two works by her St Ives contemporary, Terry Frost.
Running alongside 'British Landscapes' is Haroun Hayward’s first solo institutional show, Path through Trees (https://pallant.org.uk/whats-on/haroun-hayward-path-through-trees/) , showcasing a new body of work rooted in his experience studying the Sussex landscape. Hayward combines this engagement with landscape with ideas from abstract expressionism, 90s dance music, rave culture, graffiti, and his mother’s South Asian and West African textiles. oil stick techniques that echo embroidery. This series of new works was inspired by postwar British art by artists such as Edward Burra, Ceri Richards, Paul Nash, Graham Sutherland and Wilhelmina Barns-Graham!
Both shows run until Sun 1 Nov - not to be missed!!
