Exhibition: Once Emerged from the Grey of Night by Ed Saye

“As if a Grünewald altarpiece got lost inside a retro video game”

Chapel Arts Studios is thrilled to be exhibiting Hampshire-based artist Ed Saye at the Chapel Gallery in Andover from 16 October through to 15 November.

This solo exhibition showcases a brand-new body of work made in response to Chapel Arts' 2025 curatorial theme of remembrance.

Ed’s contemplation of the subject inspired him to draw links to nearby Sandham Memorial Chapel (Burghclere, near Newbury), reawakening his long-standing admiration for the work of celebrated British painter Sir Stanley Spencer (1891-1959).

Visitors to ‘Once Emerged from the Grey of Night' will be immersed into Ed’s own reimagined, auto-biographical painting cycle within the setting of St. Mary’s Chapel. Subjects wander through the painterly dreamscapes, illuminated by Ed’s signature otherworldly glow.
