The Williamson Art Gallery & Museum in Birkenhead has announced the largest-ever retrospective of the influential 20th-century British artist Leonard McComb. Titled "Leonard McComb: Nature and Humanity," the exhibition will feature over 60 works, including the monumental 10-meter drawing "Rock and Sea Anglesey" on loan from Oriel Môn, alongside pieces from Manchester Art Gallery and the Royal Academy.
This exhibition is significant for its scale and its focus on McComb’s ecological perspective, highlighting the interconnectedness of life through his diverse practice in sculpture, painting, and drawing. Supported by the Weston Loan Programme with Art Fund, the project demonstrates a successful collaboration between a regional museum, national collections, and a commercial gallery to bring high-caliber art to local audiences in Merseyside.
