Launching 28 November 2020 - The Narrative of Trees
The Narrative of Trees explores our love of trees and their meaning for our personal and collective identity. It brings together in over 50 paintings, drawings and limited edition prints, established Gallery East artists alongside a selection of artists from The Arborealists, an association of UK based artists, found in 2013, by Tim Craven. The timing for The Narrative of Trees is perfect as we join in the celebrations for National Tree Week on 28 November. We are delighted to be co-curating this exhibition, for the first time, with respected art historian, curator and artist, Dr Angela Summerfield.

"We all bring and take stories and memories from the trees, forests and woods we visit, whether in the country or towns and cities. This exhibition, The Narrative of Trees, explores this enduring relationship shared with trees through the work of respected contemporary artists from East Anglia, London and Gloucestershire. The work tells a narrative around A sense of Place with artists describing trees or woods of cultural or personal significance and The Arboreal Mind which includes works around imagined spaces, abstractive forms and patterns, and spiritual and well being." (Dr Angela Summerfield).

Wilhelmina Barns-Graham (Willie) was one of the key influencers of Modern British Art and an early member of the St Ives School. We will be showing Willie's work alongside that of Scottish artist Patricia Cain. Patricia has had many solo exhibitions and has exhibited widely in Scotland and England, including a major exhibition at the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow called Drawing (on) the Riverside. In 2013 Patricia was awarded an RSA residency through the Barns - Graham Trust at Balmungo House in Fife, Scotland. One of her paintings from this residency won the RWS Award at the RWS Contemporary Competition in 2014. We are very grateful to Rob Airey, Director of the Barns- Graham Trust for his support in putting this exhibition together.
