"Etched: Exploring the Digital World through Conceptual Artwork" Step into a world where art meets technology, as "Etched" takes you on a captivating journey. Inspired by influential works such as Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan and Andrew Crooke's 1651 publication, this exhibition delves deep into the realms of the digital age. Intriguingly juxtaposing black and white photography with vibrant images, "Etched" showcases the beauty of nature in unexpected ways. Witness the delicate Cinnabar moth gracefully perched upon ragwort, its vivid colors etching themselves onto your memory forever. As you wander further through this conceptual wonderland, immerse yourself in Jacques Callot's Tentation de St Antoine from c1615-1635 (1924). This masterpiece transports you to another time, evoking emotions that are both haunting and mesmerizing. The Battle of Waterloo comes alive before your eyes as you witness its depiction in intricate detail. Feel the tension rise within you as history unfolds right in front of you. But it is not just historical events that grace these walls; religious imagery also finds its place here. Charles Hutin's The Vision of St. Joseph in Egypt captures divine inspiration with every stroke, leaving an indelible mark on your soul. Venturing outside brings forth breathtaking landscapes like The Grimsel by Donald Shaw MacLaughlan from 1908. Let yourself be transported to serene mountainscapes and feel a sense of tranquility wash over you. Sir John Smithes' armor stands tall amidst pen, ink, and watercolor depictions from 1585 - an ode to strength and resilience throughout centuries past. Religious devotion continues to echo through time with HMs Printers' Common Prayer from 1662 captured beautifully in black and white photography – a testament to faith enduring across generations.
