Overview
We are delighted to invite our members to a Members’ Morning preview of Clare Woods: Garden Without Seasons. This unique event grants members of Pitzhanger exclusive access to the exhibition before it opens to the general public, and outside of public opening hours.
Hovering between abstraction and figuration, Clare Woods’ paintings are characterised by fluid mark-making and vibrant colours. Pitzhanger’s parkland setting, historic interiors, and stained-glass windows are sources of inspiration for Woods’ new works in the exhibition. Evoking the passage of time, they invite the viewer to consider the fleeting nature of life. When she was developing the concept for the show, Woods noted that absence and presence are not just abiding themes in her own works, but also powerful elements which characterise the manor and its galleries. Sir John Soane is ever-present in the building’s light-filled spaces and unique architecture, yet also absent following his death almost two centuries ago and the relocation of his collections to his central London town house — now the Sir John Soane’s Museum in Lincoln’s Inn Fields.
The Pitzhanger Café and Shop will be open from 9am, so why not bring a friend and make the most of our beautiful setting with a coffee or a bite to eat.
Entry to this event is free for members. This is a ticketed event so please ensure you have booked your space. Spaces are limited.
