An exhibition of works on paper by Chloe Campbell and James Newton

Chloe Campbell and James Newton are two artists who have drawn inspiration from the church architecture of Christopher Wren. See their work in an exhibition by Art + Christianity, on at the Alan Baxter Gallery.

The exhibition comprises of 52 papercuts depicting churches in the City of London, built by the office of Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London. Alongside photographer and printmaker James Newton, the exhibition is a celebration of Wren’s life, 300 years since his death.

Opening hours: 4 – 9pm Friday 8 Sep and Friday 15 Sep; 5 – 9pm Friday 29 Sep.

52 is a considerable number. There is a church for every week in a year, and every card in a deck. And so on the 300th anniversary of Wren’s death, Chloe is publishing a different papercut each week.

Enjoy the craftsmanship; uncover the churches as they could be, and see Wren’s intricate details faithfully represented, in a fresh way.

The photographs in the exhibition focus on the textures and patinations imprinted on the exterior stone walls over the passage of years; the viewpoints are from eye level; we are face to face with them in the present. But they are evocative of the past, providing a feeling of history rather than a factual retelling of dates, names and places.
