Handpicked: Painting Flowers From 1900 to Today

25 Apr 2026 – 6 Sept 2026

Inspired by the fresh-cut flower displays and paintings in the Kettle's Yard house, such as Winifred Nicholson's Cyclamen and Primula, this exhibition gathers paintings of flowers by artists spanning the 20th and 21st centuries. Works by major 20th-century figures including Vanessa Bell, Henri Rousseau, Winifred Nicholson and Christopher Wood appear alongside contemporary artists such as Lubaina Himid, Jennifer Packer, Chris Ofili, Caroline Walker and Alison Watt, breathing new life into a much-loved subject. The exhibition was organised with the help of the Kettle's Yard Community Panel.
