About

‘…I owe a lot to my father – especially his poetic ideal and his still-life theme. That didn’t come from Cubism as some people think, but from my father – not only from what he did as a painter, but from the beautiful striped and spotted jugs and mugs and goblets…. which he collected. Having those things throughout the house was an unforgettable early experience for me’.
Ben Nicholson, William; Sunday Times, 26th April 1963

The ‘Project Lab’ is an experimental space at Nottingham Castle where we can test themes and ideas which will help to determine the detailed content of The Power of Art and Making. Colour and Shape in Still Life and Ceramics will present a display of some key 20th century ceramic pieces and Still Life paintings from Nottingham City’s collection. A visual dialogue between these fine and decorative art objects will act to inspire visitors and inform a number of workshops, details of which will be available soon.
