Art for Planet Earth: An art exhibition about climate change and the environment

A Powerful Exhibition by Jack Watto, Abstract Expressionist Yardley Arts, Yardley Hastings

Yardley Arts is proud to present Art for Planet Earth, a compelling solo exhibition by renowned artist Jack Watto. The exhibition, which runs from Friday 1st November - 29th November 2024 will feature eight thought-provoking paintings that confront the pressing environmental crisis facing our planet.

Watto, known for his vivid and emotive figurative and abstract works, uses this exhibition to channel his deep concern for the environmental changes we are all witnessing. "It's a concern inside each one of us nowadays about what's happening to the planet: we can all physically feel and see the change in the world. Art is my way of protesting: I protest with a paintbrush, as writers and poets do with their pens”, Watto explains.

He recently received a warm, handwritten letter from Sir David Attenborough with his best wishes and support for Art for Planet Earth.

Opening Reception: Friday, 1st November 6 - 8 pm

Join us for the opening reception, where visitors will have the opportunity to meet the artist and gain insight into his creative process and motivations. The event promises to be an inspiring evening of art, conversation, and reflection on the critical issues that affect us all.
