Event Description
Eminent artist Anthony Eyton RA exhibits 10 years of work at Eden
World-renowned artist Anthony Eyton has opened an exhibition of his work charting the construction and evolution of the Eden Project on April 10. The exhibition, entitled Evolution of a Cornish Clay Pit, features more than 30 works ranging from the russet and grey vista of the empty pit, through the cranes, workmen and gargantuan scaffolds of the Big Build period to scenes from Eden as we know it now.
Royal Academician Anthony has been painting Eden since he was introduced to Bodelva pit – the former china clay pit in which the project was built - by Eden’s Chief Executive Tim Smit in August 1996. Tim had been impressed with Anthony’s paintings of the construction of the Tate Modern in London and persuaded the artist to chart the building of Eden. Anthony has been the project’s Artist in Residence since 1999.
