Monday 1 March – Sunday 4 April
Lorna May Wadsworth Exhibitions
Artist Lorna May Wadsworth brings two of her striking exhibitions to St Martin ’s. Based in Shoreditch, East London , Lorna uses large expressive brush work to explore colour, texture and the representation of light and shade on the human figure.
A Last Supper, The Hall
A modern interpretation of The Last Supper, painted entirely from life as a 12 feet wide altarpiece for St George’s Church , Nailsworth, shown alongside studies and the large scale preparatory drawing.
Sacred or Profane, The Gallery
A collection of paintings taking Zurbaran’s shadowy robed monks and recasting them as contemporary hooded youths, exploring the iconography of the modern ‘Hoody’, which has become a potent symbol of threat and menace in society.
