We’re delighted to announce that our new exhibition here in the Colyer-Fergusson Gallery is now open.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Blue<\/em><\/strong>, by Canterbury artist Adam De Ville, is a sequence of paintings united by colour, which explores ideas of identity, belonging, loss and technology. The title painting in the series is also linked to a performance of Pergolesi’s magnificent\u00a0Stabat Mater<\/em>, which the Chamber Choir performs in the Cathedral Crypt next week, for which Adam’s painting features on the programme cover. A haunting, evocative image of a lone woman, the painting seems to relate to the grief of the Virgin Mary during Christ’s crucifixion, set in dramatic fashion by Pergolesi shortly before his death.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The exhibition is open until Friday 9 March during normal working hours and at weekends; admission is free, and there is disabled access.<\/p>\n
