"Home of Inspiration". Mas.s 1 day solo exhibition in Kingston Upon Thames.

Mas.s is exhibiting over 30 of his works in Alexander House. The Perfect setting for his art work in the church hall of this beautiful Italianate building. Mas.s calls it "Home of inspiration". He will be exhibiting artwork touching upon spiritual and social issues, his landscape paintings and portraits will also be on show ncluding his latest work "With all that is within me!".

He says "Men create art to stir the soul. A church (hall) may confront and provoke feelings and thoughts. Positive, negative or indifferent but it is unquestionably a home of inspiration. I thought this was a fitting place for my first solo exhibition.

This beautiful church on the southern bank of the Thames was designed by the eminent architect Charles Parker in an Italianate style, with early Christian and Renaissance influences. The entire cost was met by Alexander Raphael, a Catholic Armenian whose family came from India. He became the first Roman Catholic to be elected Sheriff of London after the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Act in 1829. Raphael built the Church in 1846 as a family chapel and named it St Rafael.

With its position on the river bank it may be a wonderful day out in beautiful Kingston upon Thames.

Marriage. An expressionist painting defining the very heart of marriage.

Marriage, a hot topic in today's society. There is a lot of discussion and action about the institution of marriage. Society wanting to regulate a term by law. He says "It can not be done. The very core of marriage is, above all, a mysterious bond between a man and a woman. Society has attacked and kidnapped this truth for many reasons." He wanted to express marriage in the simplest way possible.

Arab Spring. New painting by Mas.s depicting the beauty of Arab landscape.

The 2nd painting in his series"Arab Spring" depicts a landscape in Northern Iran. He says "We often forget how beautiful this part of the world can be, reminding me of what we all share in this beautiful world. Looking at what unites us instead of dividing us. People working this land must also be in awe of this every day spectacle. Beauty unites. We should all be more aware of that."
