Throughout the summer, Petworth House and its sweeping grounds are transformed by the monumental porcelain sculptures of Felicity Aylieff. Her new body of work draws directly from the house’s own treasures: highly decorative floral fencai-enamelled vessels echo the virtuoso woodcarving of Grinling Gibbons, while other pieces take inspiration from Petworth’s exceptional holdings of 17th-century Chinese […]
The Chichester gallery opens its summer season with a sweeping look at how artists reimagined the British landscape between 1910 and 1970.
