Viva Lewes Issue #160 January 2020

ART
Out of town
200 Seasons, the expansive retrospective of work by British
sculptor David Nash continues at Towner. With only a
month left to run (the exhibition closes on 2nd February),
we highly recommend a visit to see the galleries filled with
Nash’s monumental wooden sculptures. Brink – an exhibition
of works from the Towner collection curated by Caroline
Lucas – continues alongside. Both Nash and Lucas are
strongly influenced by landscape and environment, creating a
dialogue between the two shows.
Also coming to an end this month, Post-Impressionist Living:
The Omega Workshops continues at Charleston until the
19th January. 100 years after the pioneering Workshops
closed their doors, the exhibition explores their philosophy
and beginnings and brings together a huge selection of
their decorative homewares, furniture and fabrics against a
fittingly Bloomsbury backdrop.
