Foyer display: Jonathan Kearney





‘The promise of the morning sky’ by Jonathan Kearney (PVA glue, acrylic, wood)

St Martin-in-the-Fields is home to several commissions and permanent installations by contemporary artists.

We also have an exciting programme of temporary exhibitions, as well as a group of artists and craftspeople from the St Martin’s community who show artwork and organise art projects on a temporary basis.

One of the initiatives from this group is a changing display of work by the group members. Each month a different member of the group will show an example of their work, so, if you are able, do return to see the changing display.

Jonathan Kearney is an artist and teacher. He runs the Fine Art Masters course at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London and is Postgraduate Programme Director. For many years he has used PVA glue and acrylic paint, exploring movement, patterns, trace and colour.

There are many times we fear that hope has gone missing, a just and loving reign is despairingly distant, the long promised Kingdom of God has never arrived. Yet every day the early morning light hints at the coming sun. Long before the sun is visible its light warms the darkness and bathes the mist into brightness. Our dreams are energised by the promise of the morning sky.
