Canvas & Print
Over the last twenty years or so I have come back again and again to the canvas, slowly finding my pace with pigments and textures. I mainly paint abstracts in mixed media including acrylic, plant powders, and oils. My work is full of energy and movement with my inspiration coming from natural landscapes, ‘colourscapes’ and the amazing worlds you can see if you look closely at things.

Libation
‘Libation’ marks EVEWRIGHT’s first solo exhibition in a public gallery, showcasing a collection of new and seminal works spanning 20 years.
The exhibition’s title, ‘Libation’, refers to the ceremonial pouring of a liquid to pay homage to ancestors or relatives who have passed away. The ceremony is prominent in traditional Black Caribbean and African cultures not only for funerals but as a celebration of life for unions and weddings.

The Changing Past
The Seven Deadly Sins is a major new series of paintings by Chris Ofili. Completed over the past six years, the works offer an expansive meditation on sin and the complex experience of sinfulness.
In this series of works, Chris Ofili contemplates the seven deadly sins – a subject with Biblical origins that bears fundamentally on the human condition and human behaviour.

The Missing Thread
The exhibition examines how the cultural, counter-cultural, political and socio-economic backdrop of the 20th and 21st centuries have shaped the identity of Black style and in turn mainstream fashion culture. Extending far beyond the realm of the catwalk, the exhibition spotlights and contextualises the profound impact of Black creativity through music, photography, art and design.
