Finding Light in Shadows: Irises reimagined

The expansive Elizabeth & Liverpool street front windows of the historic Downing Centre will host Leon Fernandes’ latest art exhibition - "Finding Light in Shadows: Irises Reimagined".

The exhibition is free, and you can stop by day or night.

Inspired by Vincent van Gogh's famous Irises, Leon tells of his passion for the work of the great Dutch artist and says what draws him to this particular masterpiece. “Van Gogh’s Irises is one of my favourite paintings. It’s a joyful painting, that leans towards chaos and drama but lands harmoniously in an unpolished, almost accidental way.

"Van Gogh always painted what he wanted, when he wanted, how he wanted. That’s something I strive for, to work on my own terms and to seek out light in shadows. “
