Coventry’s “At-Risk” modernist architecture is celebrated in an exhibition at Coventry Cathedral, sponsored by the Friends of the Cathedral.
The exhibition is by Coventry born artist, Paul Catherall. It features lino cut prints of landmarks in the city such as Bull Yard, the railway station and the New Cathedral.
Paul Catherall attended Woodlands School and spent his formative years in Coventry before making a career with his art in London. The modern buildings of Coventry surrounded him in his youth, and they can be seen reflected in his work today. Each building featured, apart from the cathedral, is set to be “redeveloped, closed, uncertain or under threat,” he said.
The exhibition, in the Chapel of Industry, was formally opened by Coventry Lord Mayor, Cllr Birdi, on Friday 7th June 2024.
Sent From Coventry is on display at Coventry Cathedral until 7th July. Miniature prints of the Cathedral Ruins and of Coventry Station are available to all who visit the exhibition.
