Nocturnes brings together a group of artists who together examine the concept, tone and subject matter of night time. The show encompasses painting, drawing, printmaking and sculpture. Ideas of sleep, nocturnal activity and the moon are investigated alongside dream-like imagery and the strange, surrealism of nightmares. Artists use night scenes to convey a sense of strangeness, detachment, loneliness and emotional trauma, as well as peace, meditation and undisturbed beauty.
Night time for artists is often a period of intense activity; Miles Aldridge and Frank Auerbach, for example, have used this period where the world is asleep to make memorable and lasting images. It also provided artists such as Walter Sickert, Vija Celmins and David Hockney opportunities to experiment with complex printing techniques; using new processes to convey diffused light.
Featured artists include: Miles Aldridge, Frank Auerbach, Martha Beaumont, Sara Berman, Gareth Cadwallader, Fred Clark, Anna Calleja, Vija Celmins, Camilla Engström, Cristián Fernandez Ocampo, Lucian Freud, Maggi Hambling, Tom Hammick, David Hockney, Howard Hodgkin, Esme Hodsoll, Gwen John, Lee Johnson, Kasmin, Roy Lichtenstein, Eugenie Livanos, John Martin, Henri Matisse, James A. McNeill Whistler, Suzy Murphy, Ishbel Myerscough, C.R.W. Nevinson, Pablo Picasso, Paula Rego, Lucy Sparrow, Katy Stubbs, Weegee, and Anne-Laure Zevi
