This exhibition will include the work of over 50 of the world’s best contemporary figurative artists, working across genres and mediums, whom will individually and collectively bring to life an incredibly important theme – the conservation of our planet. We are currently living through a new mass extinction event the ‘Holocene extinction’, which tragically is entirely due to humanity’s affect on the earth and environment. The exhibition’s theme Gaia Reborn: A Future Utopia aims to inspire society to once again see, appreciate, and care for the natural world. The time for change is now – before it is too late!
