The Mercer Gallery in Harrogate is delighted to present a new collection of inventive paintings, collages and etchings by the widely acclaimed artist Christopher P Wood, inspired by the fascinating and often macabre fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. The show runs from 22nd January to 4th April 2025.
Christopher P Wood, Grimm's Fairy Tales
“The Grimm’s fairy tales continue to inspire and renew themselves in the contemporary imagination, dealing, as they do, with those perennial and timeless matters of family, soul, justice, love, betrayal, redemption and the eternal conflicts of ethics and morality.” All works are available to buy and the accompanying catalogue contains an essay and poems by the award winning poet Ian Duhig,
