SUMMARY:Meet The Artist
DESCRIPTION:We are welcoming back Janine Pinion to work live in the gallery.  \nJanine lives in New Brighton and has specialised in watercolour for the past decade. Her semi-abstract technique is based on natural processes.  \n  \n“Working mainly in watercolour (as well as oils\, collage and drawing techniques) it’s usually  the light\, and the way light alters colour and sculpts the visual world\, which makes me interested in making a picture. I’m also interested in lines\, both natural and man-made\, deliberate and accidental\, and how these affect the way we look at our surroundings.” \n  \n \nCome along to see Janine working live in Gallery\, surrounded by the inspirational pieces of the exhibitions. You can ask her questions or just enjoy watching the art come to life. \nDates \n  \nMore about Janine \n  \nFollow on Facebook   &   Instagram

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

SUMMARY:Leonard McComb: Nature & Humanity
DESCRIPTION:The Williamson Art Gallery & Museum will present the largest ever exhibition of work by one of the most important British artists of the 20th century\, Leonard McComb. \nLeonard McComb: Nature and Humanity will include the best works from the artist’s estate\, as well as choice loans from major public and private collections\, over 60 of the artist’s best pieces\, including painting\, watercolour\, drawings\, and sculpture\, will be brought together. These will include ‘Rock and Sea Anglesey’\, from Oriel Môn\, which\, measuring over 10 metres long\, is the largest drawing on paper held by any UK public collection. There will also be a selection of choice loans from Manchester Art Gallery and the Royal Academy. \nThe loans are supported by the Weston Loan Programme with Art Fund. Created by the Garfield Weston Foundation and Art Fund\, the Weston Loan Programme is the first ever UK-wide funding scheme to enable smaller and local authority museums to borrow works of art and artefacts from national collections. The exhibition is a collaboration with Art Space Gallery| Michael Richardson Contemporary Art and the Estate of Leonard McComb RA. \nLeonard McComb RA (1930-2018) received acclaim and accolades throughout his career for his work in different mediums including painting\, drawing and sculpture. This exhibition at the Williamson will have a particular focus on McComb’s ecological outlook\, which can be found throughout his work. Whether portrait\, still life\, landscape\, or sculpture\, McComb’s work demonstrates his beliefs on the beauty\, energy\, and interconnectedness of all life. \nCurator Josh Mackarell says that “we are delighted to be able to bring this major exhibition of an important and celebrated artist to Merseyside. McComb’s work is not just relevant to our modern times for its beauty and technical brilliance\, but also because its environmental outlook speaks to the fundamental debates of our time.” \nThe exhibition will open on Friday 14th August 2026 and run until Saturday 31st October. \n  \nExhibition Events: \nCurator Tours \n\n2nd Sep & 2nd Oct\n\nArt Meets Mindfulness: Yoga & Sound Bath \n\n3rd Sep\n\nLandlines Studio: Workshops \n\n19th Sep &  3rd | 17th Oct

SUMMARY:Landlines Studios – Leonard McComb Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Join artist duo Landlines in three participatory workshops based around our current exhibition ‘Leonard McComb: Nature and Humanity’. \n In three separate sessions\, which can be booked individually\, participants can use naturally foraged materials and inks to create their own works inspired by McComb’s practice. \n  \nIn session 1\, an elaborate botanical display of colourful flowers and foliage will be elevated centrally on plinths in the gallery space in bright vases and urns\, based on McCombs notable floral paintings. Participants will be able to move around the display to view it from all angles and draw as they wish using the botanical ink collection. \n  \nFor session 2\, in response to ‘Rock and Sea\, Anglesey’\, 1983\, participants will draw from photographs of cliff faces\, shorelines and landscapes taken on Anglesey\, abstracting the images through mark-making and crosshatching with natural tools and brushes. Should they wish to leave their drawings with us\, we will use them to create a community artwork\, collaging each piece together as McComb did\, to idealise an imagined landscape which could be displayed at the close of the exhibition. \n  \nIn the final session\, based on ‘Still Life with Persian Rug’\, 1998\, an autumnal still life of seasonal harvest produce will be displayed on a vintage rug in wooden crates and wicker baskets\, with antique vessels displaying dried flowers\, seed heads and grasses. As in the August workshop\, participants will be able to move around the display to view it from all angles and draw as they wish using the botanical ink collection. \n  \nWorkshop Dates: \nSaturday 19th September\, 10:30-12:30 \nSaturday 3rd  &  17th October\, 10:30-12:30 \nBOOK HERE \n  \n  \n
