Atelier Ellis x The Hepworth Wakefield

This May, we introduce a creative partnership with The Hepworth Wakefield for the Spring/Summer 2025 exhibition season.

Atelier Ellis have created seven bespoke colours for the exhibitions of Helen Chadwick and Caroline Walker, which will be on view at The Hepworth Wakefield until the 27 October 2025. The paints will also be available to purchase, with 10% of proceeds going to support the gallery.

Working closely with the exhibition curators, the colours have each been specially created to respond to the artists’ work. Chadwick’s practice embraces the sensuous aspects of the natural world and often incorporated unexpected mediums, such as chocolate, flowers, snow and milk, while Caroline Walker’s intimate paintings offer a lens into the everyday lives of women. The palette has been meticulously crafted to enhance the viewing experience of the exhibitions, in quiet support of the curatorial expertise.

“Crafting a bespoke palette for The Hepworth Wakefield has been a joyful experience for me. Humans, art, materialism, research, and belonging are at the foundations of Atelier Ellis. To create colours that quietly support the Helen Chadwick and Caroline Walker exhibitions is a dream partnership. I really am thrilled.” - Cassandra Ellis
