Life in Full Colour: The Art of Jason Wilsher-Mills runs from 10 July 2026 to 3 January 2027. It invites visitors into a vivid, fantastical world filled with mermaids, larger-than-life characters, and unexpected creatures, including fish with feet.
Bringing together colourful sculptures, inflatables, bespoke wallpaper and digital artworks, the exhibition showcases Wilsher‑Mills' unmistakable visual style, playful, powerful and packed with personality. Jason's work is deeply personal.
After a life‑changing illness in childhood left him paralysed for a year, he learned to paint using a brush held in his mouth – a defining moment that continues to shape his creative practice today. Alongside newly commissioned works inspired by Poole's maritime heritage and the museum's collections, the exhibition also brings together pieces spanning Jason's wider career, including artworks created in collaboration with disabled communities across the UK.
In recognition of his contribution to art and disability, Jason was awarded an MBE in 2025 for Services to Art and Disability.
