Welsh artist Jeremy Thomas with Cllr Barbara Johnson, chair of the Harborough District Council

An exhibition of paintings by the Welsh artist Jeremy Thomas is on display during August at St Hugh’s Church in Market Harborough.

The exhibition title is The Human One and the 30 paintings explore the life of Jesus from birth to death. Each painting is accompanied by a short Bible passage and is interpreted in a different style and often in unexpected ways. The event was opened by Cllr Barbara Johnson, chair of the Harborough District Council, who welcomed the artist to the town.

Jeremy then spoke to the assembled group about how the project had started and developed.

The exhibition has already been shown at several cathedrals in England and Wales but this is its first visit to the East Midlands.

Opening times:

Fridays (August 4, 11, 18) 6pm – 8pm.

Saturdays (August 5, 12, 19) 12 noon – 3pm.

Sundays (August 6, 13, 20) 2pm – 4pm.
