Pyramid View On… John Atkinson Grimshaw – 14 November – 19 April

Pyramid has partnered with Leeds Art Gallery on a new exhibition that celebrates the inspiration of dusk turning to night-time in John Atkinson Grimshaw’s work.

This exhibition features original artwork created and curated by Pyramid member artists, inspired by the distinctive nocturnal scenes of 19th-century Leeds-born artist John Atkinson Grimshaw.

The exhibition celebrates the atmospheric transition from dusk to nighttime, a recurring theme in Grimshaw’s work. Pyramid member artists will also be running workshops in the Artspace to support exhibition visitors to create their own Atkinson Grimshaw-inspired artwork.
