Unquiet Landscapes, a collaboration between Yorkshire Artspace and Contemporary British Painting, brings together thirty-eight artists in response to Christopher Neve’s 1990 book that lends the exhibition its title. Neve wrote about post-war painters – Nash, Sutherland, Minton – who turned to landscape after experiencing the trauma of war, seeking something stable in a world that had revealed itself as anything but. Guest curator Joanna Whittle, herself a painter, describes this show not as an addendum to Neve’s text but as ‘papers slipped between the pages’ – a conversation across decades about what landscape painting can hold when the world feels impossible.
