Titian's rare artwork is coming to the East Midlands

In this episode, we head to Lakeside Arts in Nottingham to explore an exciting new exhibition, Drawn Through Time.The exhibition brings together an inspiring group of artists, including George Shaw, James Pyman, Billy Hughes, and Penny McCarthy. At the heart of the show is McCarthy’s work, deeply influenced by the Renaissance master Titian.McCarthy was granted rare access to Titian’s lesser-known piece, The Submersion of the Pharaoh’s Army in the Red Sea, spending six months studying the artwork and his techniques. Her research, alongside rare woodcuts of Titian’s original works, forms a key part of this unique exhibition and will be available to see at this exhibition.In this thought-provoking episode, Kirsty speaks with Penny McCarthy and curator Ashley Gallant about how art created over 500 years ago continues to influence contemporary practices - from modern urban landscapes and painting, photography to comics and even AI-generated art.Drawn Through Time opens this weekend at Lakeside Arts in Nottingham and runs until 26 July. Entry is free, with a range of guided tours and talks available throughout the exhibition.
