Viewing Room opens:

Running from 4 April to 29 June 2025 Impressions: Selected Works from the Jerwood Collection features 20 exceptional works by internationally renowned artists, including Hurvin Anderson, Frank Auerbach, Gerald Leslie Brockhurst,  Ian Davenport, Tracey Emin, Lucian Freud, Angela Gill, Maggi Hambling, David Hockney, John Hoyland, Augustus John, Kim Lim, Ben Nicholson, Paula Rego, Bridget Riley, Eva Rothschild, Yinka Shonibare, and Julian Trevelyan.

 

Though predominantly featuring the intricate process of etching this exhibition also showcases other printmaking techniques, including screenprinting, lithography, linocut, and monotype. Together, these pieces offer a vivid exploration of the rich and varied possibilities of printmaking. The variety of works on display in Impressions are a testament to this, from the vibrant and abstract works of Ian Davenport and John Hoyland to the intimate and figurative examples of Tracey Emin and Lucian Freud. Practitioners have also used printmaking as a type of visual commentary to address current themes of identity, culture, and history as demonstrated by Yinka Shonibare and Hurvin Anderson.

 

This exhibition has been supported by Jerwood Foundation with loans from Jerwood Collection. The Jerwood Collection of modern art gives public access to a privately-owned collection to enhance the understanding and enjoyment of 20th and 21st century art.
