Press release - 18 November 2013 12:56

"Home of Inspiration" Art Exhibition. Mas.s to show at St Johns at the start of Advent.

On the 1st of December Mas.s will exhibit at St.Johns Seminary, Wonersh, Guildford. As part of his parish tour he will be exhibiting more then 40 of his works in a grand setting. The Ambulacrum, an impressive open space 210 feet long and 19 feet wide, running the full length of the main section of the building is the perfect platform for this free one day solo exhibition. Colour up your Sunday with Mas.s.

The event coincides with the start of Advent, a season observed in many Western Christian churches as a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas. The term is an anglicised version of the Latin word adventus, meaning "coming".

Mas.s, the original Dutch artist, is thrilled to show his work in this beautiful setting in the Surrey Hills. He says, "The building is amazing, used also for filming the series "Foyle's war". When I visited I was straight away overwhelmed by the history, the beautiful spaces and architecture. It is a privilege to show my work here. I am an artist inspired by the church and its history. Many of the most revered and genius artists over the centuries have been inspired by what the church had to offer. I think I am in good company and keep reminding myself in the process that it is my "Home of Inspiration".

"Family life", the featured oil painting, will be on show together with paintings touching upon social and spiritual issues. Also a range of his abstracts, landscapes and portraits will be exhibited.

Mas.s lives and works in Kingston Upon Thames

New direction. Mas.s to explore new avenues in his painting "Trust".

The original Dutch painter Mas.s looked at an empty linen canvas for months on end wondering what this canvas was inviting him to paint.Landscapes, portraits, conceptual art? Then he knew. The heart. Trusting the silent promptings that moved his hand. Let the deep well up and making it visual. The result is amazing, not in the least for himself. Now to be seen at Gagliardi gallery, Chelsea, London
