Pyramid View On… John Atkinson Grimshaw

14th November 2025 - 19th April 2026

Pyramid has partnered with Leeds Art Gallery to create an artistic response that celebrates the inspiration of dusk turning to night-time in John Atkinson Grimshaw’s work.

This artistic response features original artwork created and curated by Pyramid member artists, inspired by the distinctive nocturnal scenes of 19th-century Leeds-born artist John Atkinson Grimshaw.

The project celebrates the atmospheric transition from dusk to nighttime, a recurring theme in Grimshaw’s work. Pyramid member artists will also be running workshops in the Artspace (check website for details) to support visitors to create their own Atkinson Grimshaw-inspired artwork.

The artistic response will run alongside Don’t Let’s Ask For The Moon…: Nocturnes and Atkinson Grimshaw, a major show in the main gallery exploring nocturnal themes in Grimshaw’s work and contemporary responses.
