JOHN COELLO
Silent Refuge from the Seige
Oil paint on Canvas
Dimensions: 66 x 89
Artist’s statement
Crows typically nest in high trees in rural locations to prove maximum security and sanctuary as they raise their young through the unpredictable spring weather, but as environments change nests can also be found in places such as skyscrapers. They are given the additional protection of laws forbidding their intrusion and destruction.
All purchased artworks must remain in the exhibition until 12pm on 29 November 2026.
Artworks can be collected between 12pm and 6pm on 29 November 2026, or between 10am and 4pm on 30 November 2026.
For every £1 spent with SUSSEX contemporary, 70p goes directly to the artist.
