YOU could be the owner of a large canvas mural based on CS Lewis’ Narnia.
The artwork has been created by Roy Nixon and can be found in St German’s Cathedral – where it’s been erected to complement an exhibition of contemporary floral art and design.
The winter exhibition takes inspiration from the works of CS Lewis and is titled The Thaw Begins ... Journeying Beyond Narnia and has been organised jointly by cathedral staff and Floreat, a group consisting of members from flower arranging clubs throughout the island.
The exhibition consists of a series of installations created by Floreat, inspired by one of CS Lewis’ lectures in which he encourages people to ‘break free from the rings of society’ and be proud of individuality.
Many of the contemporary floral art and design creations on show at the cathedral feature circles or broken circles.
Alongside the creations is a series of story boards featuring some of CS Lewis’ work offering a self-guided trail around the cathedral.
Finally, the cathedral has created it’s own Narnia – a private space through the wardrobe and it’s inside here that Roy’s mural can be found.
This mural is being offered for sale by silent auction bids, which can be left in the donation wall box at the entrance to the cathedral.
Bidders should include their name, address, phone numbers and the bid amount in a sealed envelope. The winner will be announced after the close of the exhibition in early January. Monies raised will be split between the cathedral and a children’s charity.
