BEN EDGE - CHILDREN OF ALBION

My first major solo show since Ritual Britain (2021) is taking place this November (6th - 26th) at the stunning Fitzrovia Chapel in London. The exhibition will feature a collection of new works, including my most ambitious painting to date: Children of Albion. A 300 x 200 cm piece depicting the rich history and mythology of Britain. Above, I’ve shared a detail from the work.
