Christopher P. Wood - Red Riding and The Brothers Grimm

20 September 2025—7 February 2026Free with an Annual Pass (£5 / Free under 18s and registered carers)

Scarborough Art Gallery

Folklore meets art in this enchanting exhibition of works by acclaimed British artist Christopher P. Wood. Inspired by the haunting beauty and darkness of the Grimm Fairy Tales, this exhibition of paintings, collages, and etchings, reimagines classic stories through Wood’s inventive works of dreamlike landscapes, expressive figures, and a touch of the surreal.

Alongside, visitors can explore a selection of objects from the Clarke Charm Collection, a fascinating display of charms and amulets collected by William Clarke, reflecting folk beliefs in protection, healing, and magic. The exhibition blends Wood’s mystical art with Clarke’s historic charms, offering a unique look at storytelling, superstition, and creativity.

A Goldmark Gallery exhibition. Find out more about Goldmark here: https://www.goldmarkart.com/
