GARY BUNT PAINTS A NEW TAKE ON CREATION

In his latest exhibition, of 18 paintings and accompanying poems that tell the story of the seven days of The Creation, artist Gary Bunt reimagines the Old Testament narrative in his characteristic warm and witty way. In the story of how God created the world, Christ is once more brought alongside Bert and his faithful dog in Gary's recognisable colours and style. Whilst many of them the 'days' of creation alluded to, are instantly recognisable they also carry that wonderful and unexpected, joyful 'Gary' twist.

This painting, for example (no 11 in the collection) is entitled 'Elevenses' and the accompanying poem reads:

'There was still lots to do

For angel cake and a cup of tea.'
