Fauna
06 November 2024 - 05 January 2025
This exhibition brings together paintings and sculptures by four RWA Academicians; Angela Lizon, Beth Carter, Dorcas Casey and Leslie Glenn Damhus.
These artists play diversely with the symbolism of animals in art. Their compelling and magical works are steeped in the history of art, fables, myths, fairytales, dreams, childhood memories, kitsch, the subconscious and the sacred. Their work is often filled with their distinctive sense of playfulness and humour.
Leslie Glenn Damhus reflects, "As observers translators, and bridge-builders to our emotional world, artists continue to challenge us to see the connections we, as humans, share to all life on our beautiful planet."
