William Nicholson at Pallant House Gallery
2025-11-22 - 2026-05-10 | Pallant House Gallery, 9 North Pallant, Chichester, PO19 1TJ
This is the first major exhibition of the celebrated artist William Nicholson (1872 – 1949) in more than 20 years.

Spanning Nicholson’s entire career, this landmark show reveals the breadth of his artistic vision – from world-renowned still lifes, insightful portraits and evocative landscapes to his poster designs and playful book illustrations.
Highlights include the bold posters he produced with his brother-in-law James Pryde as ‘J. & W. Beggarstaff’, his celebrated woodcuts from An Alphabet (1898), original illustrations for The Velveteen Rabbit, works created during travels to India, and poignant wartime paintings, as well as his glittering still lifes, which showcase his mastery of light and texture.
Visitors can view rarely seen works, and intimate depictions of family and friends – including a newly displayed portrait of his son, artist Ben Nicholson.
The exhibition offers a rare opportunity to rediscover one of Modern British art’s most beloved and versatile figures and is accompanied by a new catalogue, with contributors including Stephen Calloway, Simon Martin, Miriam O’Connor Perks, Jane Pritchard, Patricia Reed, and Melanie Vandenbrouck.

Caroline Walker: Mothering at Pallant House Gallery
2025-11-22 - 2026-04-26
Explore the beauty, strength, and unseen labour of childcare in the powerful exhibition, Caroline Walker: Mothering.

Celebrated for her luminous brushwork and moving depictions of women’s lives, Walker transforms everyday acts of care into striking scenes. From maternity wards to nurseries, her paintings reveal the tenderness, intensity and resilience of motherhood and the often-unacknowledged work that shapes our society.
Featuring highlights from the past five years alongside new works, this exhibition brings together Walker’s lively pencil sketches, delicate ink studies, intimate panels and large-scale canvases. Her use of light, colour and scale creates works that feel both universal and deeply personal.
Caroline Walker: Mothering is organised by The Hepworth Wakefield in collaboration with Pallant House Gallery. Shown within the unique setting of the historic townhouse, this is a rare chance to experience Walker’s work in an environment that resonates with her themes of home, family and care.
Caroline Walker: Mothering is accompanied by an illustrated monograph of the same title, published by Lund Humphries in September 2025. See below.
