 lude the best works from the artist’s estate\, as well as choice loans f
 rom major public and private collections\, over 60 of the artist’s best

 om Oriel Môn\, which\, measuring over 10 metres long\, is the largest dra

 he loans are supported by the Weston Loan Programme with Art Fund. Created
  by the Garfield Weston Foundation and Art Fund\, the Weston Loan Programm
 e is the first ever UK-wide funding scheme to enable smaller and local aut
 hority museums to borrow works of art and artefacts from national collecti
 ons. The exhibition is a collaboration with Art Space Gallery|Michael Rich
 ardson Contemporary Art\, and the Estate of Leonard McComb RA.\nLeonard Mc
 Comb RA (1930-2018) received acclaim and accolades throughout his career f
 or his work in different mediums including painting\, drawing and sculptur
 e. This exhibition at the Williamson will have a particular focus on McCom
 b’s ecological outlook\, which can be found throughout his work. Whether
  portrait\, still life\, landscape\, or sculpture\, McComb’s work demons
 trates his beliefs on the beauty\, energy\, and interconnectedness of all 
 life.\nCurator Josh Mackarell says that “we are delighted to be able to 
 bring this major exhibition of an important and celebrated artist to Merse
 yside. McComb’s work is not just relevant to our modern times for its be
 auty and technical brilliance\, but also because its environmental outlook
  speaks to the fundamental debates of our time.”\nThe exhibition will op
 en on Friday 14th August 2026 and run until Saturday 31st October.
