Petrichor
A celebration of the art of Mat Collishaw.
Petrichor is a celebration of the work of iconic artist Mat Collishaw at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, showcasing new commissions alongside existing works and drawing on an array of evocative imagery from the natural world. It also encompasses sculptural installations, using a variety of pioneering techniques to explore the relationship between the natural world, art history, and how representations of nature in art can impact the way in which we see the world around us.
Mat Collishaw is a key figure in the important generation of British artists who emerged from Goldsmiths' College in the late 1980s. He participated in Freeze (1988) and since his first solo exhibition in 1990 has exhibited widely internationally.
