Milton Keynes  Gallery is delighted to announce next year’s programme of exhibitions by artists whose work encapsulate the twentieth century through the medium of art. From the British painter Euan Uglow’s obsessive eye for detail, French photographer Jacques Henri Lartigue’s innovations with colour photography and L. S. Lowry’s distinctive figures and landscapes, 2026 will bring three masters of their form to Milton Keynes.   

 

Saturday 14 February - Sunday 31 May 2026

Euan Uglow: An Arc from the Eye

This landmark exhibition brings together over 70 paintings and drawings by Euan Uglow from public and private collections around the world. Uglow was meticulous in painting from life and often took months – sometimes years – to complete artworks. Uglow’s iconic large-scale nudes, still lifes and European landscape paintings will be on display at MK Gallery in early 2026.
