About

Join Gallery Director Simon Martin for an introduction to our current exhibition British Landscapes: A Sense of Place, a landmark exhibition exploring how artists from the 18th to the 20th century have responded to the landscapes of the British Isles. Bringing together works by more than 60 artists, the exhibition reveals landscape not simply as scenery, but as a powerful expression of memory, identity and emotion.

Spanning Romanticism, Modernism and postwar abstraction, Simon Martin will trace a rich lineage from Thomas Gainsborough and the golden age of British watercolour to the postwar works of Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, Barbara Hepworth, Paul Nash, and Eric Ravilious, reflecting on how Britain's landscapes have been lived in, remembered and reimagined – and how they continue to shape our collective sense of belonging and resilience.

Your ticket includes entry to the exhibition following the talk.
