themes of loss, honour and peace. In turn, it offers what The New European newspaper has previously termed ‘…a moving, unforgettable exhibition’. Also included is a piece inspired by RMS Titanic, which was built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. An emblem of industry and hope, its tragic sinking mirrors the loss of sailors during battle. Titanic Belfast’s impressive setting proved the perfect opportunity to bring its story to life, as Marc explains: “The incredible juxtaposition of history and technology is completely in sync with our own creative sensibilities.” Later this year, we will celebrate the centenary of the end of World War One. In a period that has been fraught with political tension and violence, the occasion serves as a timely reminder that peace can be found during even the most difficult conflict. Creator Scarlett says: “This exhibition of The Danger Tree is particularly poignant as we mark 100 years since the end of battle, and I want to give the centenary due recognition.
I’m inviting people to view painting in a completely different way and I hope they will engage with the art beyond the canvas.” Viewers familiar with the history of the war will note that the collection takes its title from the only tree left standing during fighting. Rooted in No Man’s Land on the Western Front and the Somme battlefield, it is a symbol of bravery and resilience. Long after the leaves fell from its branches, it blooms with the stories of the men who fought beneath it, who amidst the gunfire penned the truth to their ‘darling rosebud’. We are proud to announce a new collection of hand-signed, limited edition prints for 2018. ‘The Rendezvous’ and ‘Man and Shadow Meet’ are available as either a giclée or hand-embellished boxed canvas, while ‘All the Years Ahead’ is available exclusively as a paper only giclée print.
