Synopsis of the Exhibit
Discover the creative power of pattern in art.
Drawing upon Pallant House Gallery’s collection, this exhibition showcases how artists have used pattern, repetition, and rhythm to engage our senses and communicate ideas. Working across different times and mediums, artists from Pierre Bonnard to Hormazd Narielwalla have been inspired by the cultural, political and religious significance of pattern. The works on show highlight the ways in which repeating line, shape and colour express how we perceive objects, how we present ourselves, and the harmony found in nature.
