Parwich artist Lewis Noble is to spend a year working with Chatsworth, making a body of work in response to the estate. The project starts in May 2008, and will culminate in a major exhibition in London, in May 2009. The paintings will also preview at Chatsworth, probably in April 2009.
Lewis spent two months at Chatsworth in 2001 as part of the Vickers Art Award. He will be working both on site and in his Parwich studio.
“I’m relishing the idea of returning to Chatsworth and I want to produce paintings that reflect the many different aspects of place. I can’t say exactly what form the finished work will take as I always like to respond directly to what I see and experience. I don’t want to put any limitations on it”
From May 2008, you will be able to follow his progress on the Lewis Noble Chatsworth Project website. Here you will find the artist’s blog, his image diary, and a chance to view the artwork as it is completed.
