Pyramid View On… John Atkinson Grimshaw

Pyramid has partnered with Leeds Art Gallery to create an artistic response that celebrates the inspiration of dusk turning to night-time in John Atkinson Grimshaw’s work.

This artistic response 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 project 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 visitors to create their own Atkinson Grimshaw-inspired artwork.

The artistic response will run alongside Don’t Let’s Ask For The Moon…: Nocturnes and Atkinson Grimshaw, a major show in the main gallery exploring nocturnal themes in Grimshaw’s work and contemporary responses. 

This project is in partnership with Leeds Art Gallery. ‘Pyramid view on… John Atkinson Grimshaw’ features artwork made using recycled canvases, kindly donated by Pinot & Picasso.
