Featured Events in Ealing in April, 2025 (June Updated)

Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery hosts a major new exhibition by painter Alison Watt, marking her first major public gallery exhibition in London since 2008. From Light includes 18 new paintings created specifically for Pitzhanger. The title reflects the centrality of light in both Watt’s work and that of Sir John Soane, the architect of Pitzhanger, in harnessing light to shape space and create atmosphere. For Watt, light is the ‘very substance of painting’, while for Soane, it defined the architecture of Pitzhanger.

Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery presents a new exhibition of sculpture by artist and designer Nicole Farhi. Farhi will display 25 cast ciment fondu busts, each hand painted with acrylic paint and depicting victims of miscarriages of justice across multiple countries around the world over the past 125 years. Running from 19 March to 15 June 2025, the exhibition portrays victims whose wrongful convictions have shaped legal history. The exhibition takes its name from J’Accuse…! — Émile Zola’s famous open letter that exposed the wrongful conviction of Captain Alfred Dreyfus in France in 1898. Inspired by Dreyfus’s case, Farhi has spent the past two years researching and sculpting figures from around the world who have been unjustly accused, from Timothy Evans, whose wrongful execution helped abolish capital punishment in Britain, to Andrew Malkinson, who spent 17 years in prison before his conviction was overturned in 2023, leading to the resignation of Helen Pitcher, Chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
