A collection of unique, art cased pianos from the height of European piano making on display at Besbrode Pianos Leeds.

Around the turn of the twentieth century a period of prosperity inspired an interest in culture and the arts. As the only source of music in the home, the domestic importance of the piano was at its peak. At this time the wealthy commissioned bespoke, art cased pianos as visible status symbols to stand as centrepieces in a room. Technical innovation of the instrument had reached its maturity prompting a flourish in custom made, luxurious cases.

Trace a journey through time as two artists adapt their practice to new contexts and situations. Find glimpses of familiar places, patterns and textures and delight in hidden similarities. Reflect on the work of these two local female artists as they exhibit together for the first time.

Open Tuesday-Saturday 10-4, Sunday 12-4. Closed on Mondays. FREE ENTRY.

A series of Portraits of Mothers, completed over the Summer of 2024 by Ellie Andrews.

The women depicted in the exhibition are each at a different place in their individual motherhood experience.

Shared life experiences and connected moments between the artist and each woman are the backbone of this exhibition. They have orbited each other over the years and now suddenly all find ourselves in the same place - as women navigating our own mental health, future ambitions, career changes and a changing world, all through the lens of Motherhood.
