Pauline from Kaukapakapa

Series of Artist’s Talks about Renaissance Artists:

Next talk, this coming Sunday, 28th.

Sunday 28th April Michelangelo - Fall

Sunday 26th May Caravaggio - Passion

Sunday 23rd June Rembrandt - Reflection

Sunday 25th August Van Gogh

Talks are by Blacksmith Chris Ellwood and his wife, potter and painter, Karyn.

Passion, pain and the papacy have influenced the work of many of the Renaissance Artists. Hear stories of Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Rembrandt and Van Gogh as we take you through their spiritual journey’s during a series of artist talks hosted as part of ‘Cafe Church’ over the next few months at Helensville Community Church, 40 Mill Road.

The talks will be in the form of a powerpoint presentation and will be very interactive, with questions welcomed throughout. Although neither Chris nor Karyn are academics as such, they have a real passion for these Renaissance artists.

Chris hopes, through these talks, to show the humanity, strengths and weaknesses of artists who lived in a very different time to us and had to grapple with their personal beliefs whilst existing within societies prevailing systems.

The talks will be a part of the Sunday service at Helensville Community Church,
40 Mill Road, next to the Hospice Shop and opposite Mitre 10.

Services start at 10.30 and are of a ‘Cafe Style’, with food and drinks available throughout as the Church is set up around tables like a cafe.

There is no charge for food or drinks.
