Description
Join us for an exclusive private view of Alison Watt’s new exhibition, From Light, at the beautiful Pitzhanger Manor. The UK Friends of NMWA are being offered the opportunity to visit the exhibition the day before it opens for the public, joined by the artist. Alison will walk us through her new body of work and talk to us about the inspiration behind the new series of paintings which resonate with the architecture and collection of Sir John Soane, the architect of Pitzhanger Manor. Watt’s practice, rooted in a fascination with light, echoes strongly with Soane’s innovative manipulation of light to shape space and create atmosphere. This is Alison’s first exhibition in London since her show as Associate Artist at the National Gallery, London.
Members will also be treated to a private tour around Pitzhanger Manor, the country home of Sir John Soane, led by Director Clare Gough.
