Free exhibition of large-scale paintings and immersive works by Lincoln artist Emma Chippendale, inspired by nature and environmental conservation.
Emma Chippendale is showing at the Barbican Creative Hub from Thursday 22 to Saturday 24 October, the latest in the Creatives in Residence Showcase. It's a three-day run, open from 11am each day, and it's free to get in.
Chippendale is a Lincoln-based freelance artist, designer and muralist, and a Fine Art graduate of the University of Lincoln. The exhibition brings together large-scale paintings, immersive visuals and experimental works, all drawn from the rhythms, textures and beauty of the natural world. She works with scale, materials, surfaces and space to push painting into new territory, and the work focuses on critically endangered species and the importance of environmental conservation.
This isn't a standalone show, though. It's part of the Creatives in Residence Showcase, a season of five events developed between July 2025 and summer 2026. The whole thing gathers the outcomes of a year-long period of research, experimentation and making by Lincoln's Creative in Residence, so what you're seeing here is the result of a full year of work rather than a few months' preparation.
