Ochre Print Studio is proud to present Gerry Baptist’s solo exhibition, A Celebration of Chaos, Curiosity and Earthly Delights, showcasing a huge variety of works from his six-decade career.
Set over both floors, this exhibition offers a unique opportunity to view old and new paintings and prints by the artist who may have slowed down in his ninetieth year but still continues to produce explorational work.
“The Exhibition is a cornucopia of Baptist’s work, old and new, demonstrating particular concerns that have recurred in different guises over some 60 years of his impassioned paintings and prints. Some of these ongoing themes include searing images, laced with ironic, acerbic humour, about the dark sides of mass-consumerism and uncontrolled waste; ever-increasing levels of pollution of the Earth’s land, sea and air alongside the increasing realities of climate change and its attendant diminution of the world’s insect populations; the tragedy and futility of war; biblical and (Western and Eastern) mythological imagery with modern, unexpected twists; and an unalloyed delight in the wonders of nature and the glories of English gardens.”
