About
Essex Cultural Diversity Project invites you to a special celebratory closing event at St Thomas Church, for Nabil Ali's art project and exhibition 'Along The Salt Marsh'. The paintings can be seen at St Peter on the Wall up to 30 September and then at St Thomas from 1-4 October.
Nabil Ali has produced a new collection of landscape paintings depicting the Bradwell coastline as part of an arts residency supported by Essex Cultural Diversity Project, Cultural Engine and Arts Council England.
He has made his own paint utilising natural materials found on the beach, processed into pigment, and then mixed with tree resin. He collected London clay, chalk, and 3rd-century Roman red bricks from the sea – galls from oak trees to produce a black from a 14th-century ink recipe and introduced red ochre earth pigment, historically used to colour boat sails since antiquity.
This simple collection expresses an area along Bradwell-on-Sea coastal circular walk showing viewpoints of the environment and nature from farmer’s fields to seascapes, with a hidden darkness which shadows the area that could lead to a permanent change to the landscape.
