Art Gallery

The Grosvenor Museum is home to a fine collection of sculpture and paintings amongst which sits this work Chester from Boughton painted by John Finnie in 1879. For Chester Contemporary, Charlotte van Berckel asks us to look at this familiar landscape of Chester in a new light by turning it upside down, encouraging us to experience what we think we know with fresh eyes. Disrupting the formal language of the collection allows us to see the painting, the collection as a whole, and Chester anew.
