Nature in Art near Gloucester hosts poignant exhibition 'Crucifixion' from internationally acclaimed artist, Darrell Warner, this spring, featuring a collection of spectacular but sobering watercolours of Britain's native birds.
What to expect from 'Crucifixion' by Darrell Warner at Nature in Art
Inviting visitors to 'be still, be quiet', 'Crucifixion' from internationally acclaimed artist and illustrator, Darrell Warner, is a thoughtful and, at times, uncomfortable collection of natural history paintings.
Inspired by a time during the Covid-19 lockdown when the artist was struck by the number of birds killed by cars, windows and other human interventions in the environment, he set about recording these beautiful birds in watercolour, from the common blackbird to the elusive water rail.
Aiming to raise awareness of the loss of the natural world through human development and apathy, Darrell's work is both a lament for and a celebration of Britain's indigenous birds, allowing their souls to continue to sing, even in death.
As part of the exhibition, visitors can meet Darrell in person on Saturday 23 May, with an illustrated evening talk from the artist on Saturday 12 June 2026, too.
