A FREE art exhibition is to be held in Bath at the end of June, thanks to funding provided by the Bath and North East Somerset Faith Foundation.

The organisation, which works with faith groups, local charities and businesses across the district, is organising the two-day event on June 27 and 28 at Weston Free Church (Moravian) in Weston High Street.

Octave is a collection of eight paintings, created by artist and theologian Elizabeth Gray-King, which invites viewers to pause and ponder on how they see themselves and how they relate to others.

Nathan Hartley, director of the B&NES Faith Foundation, said: “We’re delighted to be able to exhibit Elizabeth’s work here in Bath. For over 40 years she has demonstrated a talent to be able create art that offers a calm centre inside complicated theological or social issues.

“She is a commissioned artist, creating paintings for specific buildings and illustrations for books and websites. Elizabeth’s talents are known the world over and we are very fortunate to be able to display some of her work locally.”

The paintings on display in Bath at the end of June are titled, Hear, Wait, Watch, Leap, Chill, Call, and Fly culminate in the final piece titled Be. Using complementary colours, and lone figures, the viewer is taken through an exploration of how we see ourselves in the world, how we communicate, respond and relate to the divine and the world around us.

The free event is being organised in partnership with Westhill, a Birmingham-based organisation that supports interfaith projects across the UK.

Octave, a free art exhibition, will be held at Weston Free Church (Moravian) in Weston High Street, BA1 4DB, on: Friday, June 27, 12pm to 4pm; and Saturday, June 28, 10am to 4pm.
