The biggest names in British art, illustration, ceramics and textiles come together in this eclectic exhibition at The Higgins Art Gallery & Museum in celebration of the work of printmaker, illustrator, watercolourist and designer Edward Bawden (1903-1989).
Join the Keeper of Fine and Decorative Art for a half hour tour of some of the highlights of Edward Bawden & Me.
The exhibition is curated by Bawden’s good friend, the illustrator and printmaker Chris Brown who has invited 30 artists and makers to respond to works by Edward Bawden in The Higgins Bedford Collection. The artists include fashion designer Lulu Guinness, ceramicists Vicky Lindo and Sussex Lustreware, artists Rob Ryan, Angie Lewin, John Broadley and John Lawrence, rag rug maker Lu Mason and stone carver Matt Loughlin and a host of other well known and brilliant artists and makers. Each artist has been invited to look through the archive and pick a work that inspires them. In the exhibition their artistic response is shown alongside the work by Bawden that inspired it.
