Richmond Park has an amazing number of trees and is a top UK site for ancient trees. Our speaker is Tim Craven, founder of the tree artists group ‘The Arborealists ‘. Through Tim’s talk, we will explore how and why the Tree has been a major subject for British artists, including as a motif in abstract art, and the Tree’s current role for painters as a symbol of our fragile, natural environment.
John Berger, in his ground-breaking series ‘Ways of Seeing’ said: “The way we see things is affected by what we know or believe.” Tim’s talk will enrich your experience on future visits to Richmond Park, helping you see and love aspects of its trees that you have never noticed before.
