Explore the quiet intensity of Gwen John’s art in a major retrospective celebrating her 150th birthday. The exhibition gathers rarely seen paintings and drawings from international collections, offering fresh insight into her delicate technique and thoughtful subjects.

Discover how her muted colours, attentive compositions and sensitive portraits reveal a unique way of seeing the world. Both newcomers and long-time admirers will find themselves drawn into her intimate vision, experiencing the subtle power of her work and the modernity that continues to resonate more than 40 years after her last major exhibition.
