'Connecting Cultures' by Greame Mortimer Evelyn
2nd April – 31st May 2012
Graeme Mortimer Evelyn's work forms modern narratives, commenting on cultural social identity, politics and language and his work truly reflects the Commonwealth Day Theme 2012.
Evelyn who has commissioned works in municipal buildings and Cathedrals describes his work as "when fragments of relation, memory, society, identity and modernity, which seem disparate at first, come together to form a whole".
His paintings and drawings are unique as he connects West African, European and Caribbean cultures into one to make a whole.
Evelyn was the first Artist-in-Residence in, Saint Stephen's Church Bristol UK and commissioned to create the new permanent modern altarpiece, the Reconciliation Reredos unveiled January 21st 2011. The Reconciliation Reredos is a contemporary artwork of universal reconciliation that responds to the church's past, reflects the voices of the city today while representing the potential of the future.
