Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery - 29 March to 21 September 2025The Castle Museum and Art Gallery's capsule retrospective exhibition titled One Self, by the artist Colin Self has been long awaited. Although he has been generous enough to show selections of his original drawings, collages and prints with us at C&C in our Pop-Up exhibitions, and he has contributed individual works regularly to international shows about Pop Art, Colin rarely shows his work at scale in museums. Having been fully immersed in the art scene in London showing his work at influential galleries during the 60s, he stood back from the art world in the middle of the 1970s, and his last museum exhibition was seventeen years ago at Pallant House, Sussex.

Roger Ackling, Circle Drawing, Isle of Wight 2004Gallery Visit: Roger Ackling, Sunlight
Norwich Castle Museum & Art GalleryI attended the public launch of the Roger Ackling exhibition Sunlight, at the Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery on Friday. Ackling is known among artists as 'the guy who burnt stuff' using the power of the sun. This glib description underserves his rich and complex lexicon of mark making developed during a fifty-year career. Ackling's work is at once all encompassing in its harnessing of an element, and led by that process, as well as beautifully detailed and humane in its conceptual approach.
The exhibition has been long in the planning and includes in excess of 150 individual works by 'the artist's artist', poet and teacher, long-term resident of North Norfolk.
