The Poetry of Trees

This exhibition features a wide range of artists who are fascinated by trees, some for their aesthetic appeal, others exploring their potential for symbolic meaning.

Artists around the world have developed deeply personal relationships with trees, which have become central to their art. Thomas Pitfield’s series of linocuts, ‘The Poetry of Trees’, draws out the romantic associations of native British trees, while Ibrahim El Salahi’s magnificent ‘Meditation Tree’ is a large-scale sculptural evocation of the haraza tree that grows on the banks of the Nile.
