E.Q. Nicholson exhibition at the Grange Gallery

Rottingdean Heritage at The Grange Gallery Rottingdean is presenting the third in its series of acclaimed exhibitions on the life and work of members of the family of the celebrated artist William Nicholson, who lived there from 1910-1914.

in 2022 William himself was the subject, followed in 2024 by his wife Mabel Pryde Nicholson – the first comprehensive exhibition of her paintings for more than a century.

Now The Grange are delighted to showcase the work of E.Q. Nicholson (William and Mabel’s daughter-in-law who married their son Christopher, known as Kit) and in particular the paintings she produced in the 1940’s, a remarkable decade when she lived at Alderholt Mill in Dorset.

The exhibition shows some of her finest work from that period – the landscape and garden around the house and interiors with ceramics and flowers – joyful, idiosyncratic depictions of life in the English countryside.

The painting pictured above is ‘Still Life With Quinces’ by E.Q. Nicholson.
