Can The Seas Survive Us?
Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts
Norwich, NR4 7TJ
15 March 2025 – 3 August 2025
I am thrilled to have three of my seascape paintings in the exhibition Can The Seas Survive Us? at Sainsbury Centre Norwich, curated by climate curator John Ken Paranada. My work will be in the A World of Water section.
This will include the largest painting I have ever made, which I am so happy about. When I made it I thought it would be rolled up and stored and probably not make the light of day so this, its second showing, is just incredible. I’ll also be showing a revised painting from 2023 and a brand new diptych of Scroby Sands off the coast of Gt. Yarmouth.
‘Can the Seas Survive Us?
Three exhibitions will chart a course through the story of the oceans, and the dangerous future that they may be heading towards, featuring historical artworks, maps, atlases, archives, and contemporary art from across the globe.
A World of Water
15 March – 3 August 2025
A World of Water brings together a number of works by British and International artists from the last 250 years who have all offered a unique perspective of evolving marine ecosystems and oceanic environments.
Featuring artworks by Josh Kline (b.1979), John Crome (1768–1821), Maggi Hambling (b.1945), George Vincent (1796–1832) and Hendricus Theodorus Wijdeveld (1885–1987), the exhibition will raise pivotal questions around how we can transform our interactions with the ocean, responding to climate change, coastal erosion and environmental degradation.’
