As Scarborough Art Gallery’s Christopher P Wood exhibition, Red Riding and the Brothers Grimm, approaches its finale, visitors are being offered an opportunity to meet the artist and hear about his influences and creative processes.
Leeds born and bred, Christopher will talk about the evolution and refinement of his ideas and images over the past 40 years, leading up to and beyond Red Riding and the Brothers Grimm.
He will explore the role technique plays in the complete expression of ideas and offer personal insights from his life as a professional artist.
Expect anecdotes about his creative journey and the influence of friendships with fellow artists, art dealers, writers, musicians and poets along the way.
A Goldmark Gallery exhibition Red Riding and the Brothers Grimm is where folklore meets art in a series of paintings, collages, and etchings.
Christopher was inspired by the haunting beauty and darkness of the Grimm Fairy Tales, these works reimagine classic stories through dreamlike landscapes, expressive figures, and touches of the surreal.
His talk is on at Scarborough Art Gallery, The Crescent, on Saturday, January 31 at 2pm.
