Comments on: Gram Hilleard’s Paintings Of Churches https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/11/09/gram-hilleards-paintings-of-churches/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Thu, 21 Nov 2019 15:00:29 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Gram Hilleard https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/11/09/gram-hilleards-paintings-of-churches/#comment-1322133 Thu, 21 Nov 2019 15:00:29 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=177741#comment-1322133 A big thank you to everyone who attended and the lovely comments.
For those who missed it, I would like to exhibit it again, but in a more controlled space.
A church in some ways in the perfect space but there are many constraints, of opening hours, meetings, services etc; plus as a self-organising artist I don’t have the finances right now!
In the short term the ‘Spaces Between’ film that was part of the exhibition is in the Official Competition of the Laceno d’Oro Film Festival, Avellino, Italy 1-8 December

Are they viewable anywhere else in the near future?

Some close up and squarely encountered; others glimpse, yet known, through gaps in the jumbled semi – planned urban environment. The church is truly a presence in our capital city.

Invidious to single out one picture, but John James’s obelisk framed by the blown-out serliana is absolutely as I remember it.

Then again, the lonely people outside the churches asks me why they are not inside the church. I plan to send this to my church group.

GA, thanks for featuring these lovely, timeless London churches painted from unique perspectives by Gram Hilleard. Agreed:

“As the ever-changing metropolis grows unrecognisable through overdevelopment, these churches remain the same. Their slowly-weathering stones carry the vibrations of past lives and events, giving each place a unique energy.”

The same can be said about their many surrounding churchyards…
