about

At the darkening time of the year, as the clocks go back and nights lengthen, join Dr Deborah Lewer to explore the play of light and shade in art and faith. Artists know that light and darkness – what the Italians call ‘chiaroscuro’ – bring art to life. Biblical and spiritual tradition is rich in images of light and dark. In deep paradoxes of ‘luminous darkness’, artists, psalmists, poets, prophets, and contemplatives have found beauty, hope, meaning – and humour too – beyond the ‘light of the world’. For the Advent season, this visit will be an opportunity to engage with a vivid range of art in the rich collection of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and to think in new ways about shadows and light in a life of faith and in times of darkness.
