Upcoming exhibitions in August

Gray Rose — Blessed Bloom

19 — 26 August, Open daily 11.00am— 4.00pm

(Closed Sunday)

Gray Rose is a Norwich-based artist with a focus mainly on the celebration of florals and the world around us. 

'Blessed Bloom' is a rich amalgamation of religion and flora. Each piece in this collection reflects the compositional principles within Renaissance devotional art. Florals now occupy the positions once held by figures in the original pieces. Petals take on gestures, stems hold posture, and bloom becomes body. Humanity traced through the language of flowers. These works explore transformation as a shared condition: to grow, to change, to wither, to return. An unbroken cycle of growth, decay and spiritual renewal.

In Christian art, the body has long functioned as a vessel for suffering, transcendence, and devotion. By removing the body, the sacred is not lost but displaced - embedded instead in the rhythms of the natural world. Where the human body is finite, the natural world persists through continual transformation - temporal, yet unending. An unbroken cycle of  growth, decay and spiritual renewal.
