Contemporary artist Mat Collishaw debuts new work alongside existing pieces in this exhibition at Kew.

Drawing on an array of evocative imagery from the natural world, Petrichor will showcase a variety of pioneering techniques and explore the relationship between art and nature, including its ability to impact the way in which we see the world around us.

Albion

This large-scale, slow-rotating piece depicts the major oak in Sherwood Forest – one of the largest oak trees in the country, estimated to have been standing for over 800 years. Captured using a laser scanner, this animation creates the eerie spectre of a tree suspended somewhere between life and death.

The Centrifugal Soul

A zoetrope which creates a stunning illusion of motion, The Centrifugal Soul depicts an animated scene of bowerbirds and birds of paradise as they perform elaborate courtship displays against an ornate backdrop of flowers in perpetual bloom.
