Seurat and the Sea

13 February – 17 May 2026

The Griffin Catalyst Exhibition: Seurat and the Sea – Opening soon. The first ever exhibition dedicated to the seascapes of the French artist Georges Seurat (1859–1891). This major, focused display will be the first devoted to Seurat in the UK in almost 30 years. It will chart the evolution of his radical and distinctive style through the recurring motif of the sea.
