On view 23 January–9 May 2027, the exhibition comprises a new body of still life paintings inspired by the Holburne’s vast and eclectic permanent collection.
The exhibition marks Woods’ return to Bath, more than 30 years after graduating from the Bath School of Art.
Woods reinterprets familiar objects through her distinctive and dynamic painting style. Reflecting on the word “unmutable” – that which remains unchanged over time – the exhibition asks what has endured since Sir William Holburne first assembled his collection, and how it continues to inspire more than a century later. In an age of constant image-making and sharing, the exhibition offers a rare invitation to pause and reflect.
