Aspects of Landscape is the first exhibition to give a comprehensive overview of John Hitchens’ work created over a period of almost six decades, which traces his journey from early descriptive paintings to increasingly abstract ways of interpreting landscape. The exhibition opens with his most recent paintings and sculpture, and works back through the decades, ending with his earliest paintings.
