Art for Planet Earth

A Powerful Exhibition by Jack Watto, Abstract Expressionist

Rooftop Arts, Corby in September

Rooftop Arts is proud to present "Art for Planet Earth," a compelling solo exhibition by renowned Abstract Expressionist Jack Watto. The exhibition, which runs from 4th September to 5th October 2024, will feature seven thought-provoking paintings that confront the pressing environmental crisis facing our planet.

Watto, known for his vivid and emotive figurative and abstract works, uses this exhibition to channel his deep concern for the environmental changes we are all witnessing. "It's a concern inside each one of us nowadays about what's happening to the planet: we can all physically feel and see the change in the world. Art is my way of protesting: I protest with a wet brush, as writers and poets do with their pens," Watto explains.

He recently received a warm, handwritten letter from Sir David Attenborough wishing him best wishes and support for his exhibition.

Opening Reception: Friday, 6th September, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
