A POWERFUL exhibition opens at St Michael’s Church in Dumfries this week.
From Thursday the church will host a globally acclaimed art exhibition by artist Silvy Weatherall’s entitled ‘The Last Supper’.
Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic painting, Weatherall’s exhibition takes a unique approach, reinterpreting the 13 figures of Jesus and his disciples through sculptural busts made from broken ceramics. Using the ancient Japanese technique of Kintsugi, where shattered pieces are repaired with gold, these sculptures reflect the Easter message of brokenness, redemption and renewal.
Weatherall, who has strong ties to Dumfries, has exhibited internationally, making this a rare and exciting homecoming.
This moving installation, originally shown in London, invites visitors to reflect on the fragility of the human experience and the hope of restoration – themes that resonate both in Da Vinci’s masterpiece and the Easter story.
The Last Supper exhibition will be at St Michael’s Church from April 11 to 23 open from 1 pm to 4 pm each day, for more information email: [email protected].
