War artist Hugo Grenville will be talking about war and art to raise money for the people fleeing Ukraine.

Hugo Grenville's six feet wide painting, 'Soul by Soul and Silently', is being exhibited this Easter at St Mary's Church and was inspired by the unfolding tragedies in Syria, Iraq and Palestine.

He said: "I painted this picture at the start of the Syrian civil war and it was exhibited at the Paris Salon the following year.

"As we settle down to Easter in the West, it's heart-breaking to think that war, with all its destruction, still rages, that brutal dictators and military Juntas seem to grow in strength."

Join Hugo Grenville to hear him talk about his time as a war artist and why his painting depicting loss, grief, power, suffering, anger and violence still suggests hope.

The talk will take place at St Mary's Church, South Street, on April 3 at 5pm.

Tickets are free and available here, with a suggested £5 donation on the door.

All money will go to Disasters Emergency Committee's Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
