The first-ever solo exhibition dedicated to the celebrated artist, illustrator, and author Helen Oxenbury. A cornerstone of childhood and parenthood for generations, Oxenbury’s work is beloved for its universal appeal, subtle celebration of diversity, and ability to connect with readers of all ages.
From the joyous Afro-Caribbean family gathering in So Much (1994) to her award-winning reimagining of Alice in Wonderland (1999), and the iconic We’re Going on a Bear Hunt (1989), Oxenbury’s illustrations have captivated hearts worldwide. This exhibition will showcase her original gouache paintings and sketches, exploring the artistry behind her timeless creations and her significant contributions to children’s literature.
