"The exhibition traces Armitage's long career from her earliest linocuts to recent work, bringing together more than 40 prints, objects, and archival materials."
"Despite her exposure in the commercial realm, Armitage's process remains resolutely manual, with designs built up from single colours into dense, repeating motifs."
"A partial interior installation features a four-poster bed dressed in Armitage fabrics and upholstered furniture, showcasing her textiles in a domestic setting."
"Working drawings and watercolours in the exhibition point to a broader range of influences, including Kew Gardens and objects in the V&A's collections."
Pitzhanger Manor hosts an exhibition celebrating Marthe Armitage's artistic journey, featuring over 40 prints, objects, and archival materials. The display includes her early linocuts and recent works, alongside preparatory studies that reveal her manual design process. Armitage transitioned from creating wallpaper for personal use to a broader commercial venture, maintaining a focus on manual techniques. A partial interior installation showcases her fabrics in a reworked bedroom. The exhibition runs until July 19, 2026, and is included with paid entry to the main building.
