SUMMARY:Beyond the Brotherhood: The Legacies of the Pre-Raphaelites
DESCRIPTION:Formed in 1848\, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood\, shook the foundations of the British art world with their bold colour palettes\, truth to nature\, and symbolism. \nThe Williamson collection holds some of the finest examples of works showing this artistic legacy. \nThe exhibition will also showcase the various ways in which Merseyside has been influenced by\, and instrumental in forging new directions for these legacies. \nThis will include Birkenhead’s Della Robbia Pottery Company\, and the ‘Liverpool School’ of landscape painters.

SUMMARY:Echoes of the Floating World
DESCRIPTION:The Williamson possesses a small but notable collection of woodblock prints in the Japanese Ukiyo-e style. \nThese were made by some of the most important names in the period\, from Hiroshige to Hokusai. \nTheir motifs of flat perspectives\, high vantage points\, and bold colour distinctions\, were a radical influence across European art\, including by artists from Wirral. \nAs such\, this exhibition will show local artworks alongside Ukiyo-e prints\, communicating how Wirral artists have been influenced by\, and in dialogue with\, artists from across the world. \n  \nEnds 6th February 2027

SUMMARY:Guest Artist: Kerry Dunning
DESCRIPTION:‘I love to create\, design\, draw\, scrawl and doodle\, which lends itself nicely to a visual representation of the world around me. My work is a constantly evolving process.\nObservational drawing is key to all the work I create. I make a daily habit of sketching the world around me\, practising looking and observing the small details. I then get very experimental trying to create colourful\, bold and playful pieces. \n \n  \nAfter managing the children’s department in a bookshop I re-trained as a graphic designer with the award winning ninefootone.co.uk\, focusing on print. Following that excellent training I have developed my own style of digitally illustration using detailed layered illustrations to mimic the depth in tone of colours in nature. \n  \n  \nMore recently\, as a student at The Royal Drawing School\, I have moved away from digital work entirely. I have concentrated on developing and broadening my practise. MY current practise focuses on florals and faces using ink\, pencil\, charcoal\, paint and print. Living in the Lakes\, the Peaks and now by the coast I am inspired by the shifting and vibrant shades in the sky and water.’ \n  \nKerry’s work is currently on display and to purchase at the Williamson. \n10th August – 2nd October 2026 \n  \nMore about  KERRY DUNNING ILLUSTRATIONS \n  \nFollow on  Facebook  &  Instagram \n
