Presented by Spirit Arts

Returning by popular demand. Please note this exhibition will be in the aisle from the 23rd March - 4th April not the Nave as shown in the picture.

This Installation-Exhibition takes as its inspirational starting point the renowned Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper painting

It portrays the moment in time when Christ stated ‘One of you will betray me.’ The emotions portrayed by the 12 disciples vary from shock to disbelief.

Eighteen artists from Kent participated in painting ‘icon’ inspired roundels which portray the twelve disciples, and other important characters in the life of Christ, such as John the Baptist and the Virgin Mary.

Two well known icon painters also joined the project to depict Christ and Mary Magdalene as actual icons.

Aylesford Pottery have also contributed by recreating vessels resembling first Century pottery.

Curated by: Elizabeth Mellen

Artistic Director: Jane Furst
