About
Petrichor, a new exhibition of works from contemporary artist Mat Collishaw at Kew Gardens must end on Sunday 7 April 2024. Running in the Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art, Petrichor showcases new commissions alongside existing works, drawing on an array of evocative imagery from the natural world. Garnering acclaim from critics and visitors alike, Petrichor has been praised as ‘one of the exhibitions of the year’ by The Sunday Times and was Guardian critic Jonathan Jones’ choice as the best exhibition of 2023.
The exhibition 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.
