Charles MacCarthy working on a piece for the exhibition.
Angelic Art
Angels are the inspiration for creative works by more than 40 local and international artists on show at St Michael and All Angels, Kingsland.
The fine art exhibition features sculptures, ceramics, drawings and paintings brought together by artist Charles MacCarthy, who was inspired by the name of the 13th Century church in his home village when he agreed to curate the exhibition as part of a campaign to raise funds for its restoration.
He said: “It just seemed right that the first exhibition to be organised by the new Friends of Kingsland Church should take angels as its theme. I knew that the artists I approached would tackle the brief in many different ways.”
The exhibition includes work by Stephen Cox RA, Ken Eastman, Julienne Braham, Paul Caton, Lois Hopwood, Mary Ann Gelly, Simon Dorrell, Tamsin Salt and Charles MacCarthy himself, who is working on a piece for the exhibition inspired by the famous Smiling Angel of Reims, a symbol of France’s recovery after the First and Second World Wars.
Artists from Paris, Dublin, London and Bath have also submitted pieces which will challenge and extend understanding of what angels are.
The exhibition is open until December 18, from 10am-4pm. Entrance is free, but donations are welcome. A percentage of any sales will go to the Friends of St Michaels fundraising campaign. For more information email:
