Liss Llewellyn is delighted to announce a new online exhibition The View From Within.
This collection explores the relationship between interior spaces and the views they frame. Harry Bush’s Interior of Spean Cottage, captures the quiet domesticity that earned him recognition as the “Painter of the Suburbs,” while Charles H.H. Burleigh’s 7 Wilbury Crescent, Hove (c.1900) offers a compelling dual perspective – objects arranged in his studio foreground give way to terraced houses visible through half-drawn curtains, literally framing the outside world from within.
Frederick Austin’s The Artist Dreaming, invites contemplation of the artist’s inner world, while Hubert Arthur Finney’s Sunset over Milwaukee (1966) captures Finney’s sense of excitement on taking a transatlantic flight, to Wisconsin, on a one year exchange program which gave him a new lease of artistic life.
Completing this exploration is Bush’s The Shower, mid 1920’s, depicting a transient atmosphere of a private ritual. Together, these works demonstrate how British twentieth-century artists transformed the boundary between interior and exterior into a rich visual language, whether through literal window views, the psychological space of the studio, or the memory of place.
