About the exhibition

Alison Watt: From Light

This exhibition presents 18 new paintings by Alison Watt, marking her first major public gallery show in London since 2008. Inspired by Pitzhanger’s architect, Sir John Soane, Watt explores the role of light in shaping space and atmosphere.

Her works draw from historical painting and Soane’s personal collection, including a striking series of rose paintings and interpretations of Oliver Cromwell’s death mask. Watt also brings objects from her own studio, offering insight into the inspirations behind her art.

Through themes of memory, beauty, and mortality, From Light invites visitors to reflect on the connections between art, history, and space
