Katie Paterson and Roger Ackling feature in Abbot Hall's group exhibition Expanding Landscapes: Painting After Land Art, opening 17 May.

 

Engaging with nature and observing our relationship with the landscape around us has been a common theme in painting since Romanticism, with many artists taking inspiration from the Lake District such as J.M.W Turner who explored light, time, and the forces of weather through his work. 

 

The exhibition follows the romantic motifs of earth, sea and sky through a variety of materials and processes, bringing together historical works and contemporary artists.
