Renowned artist and designer Christopher Cumberbatch has opened a comprehensive exhibition at the Dwyer Cultural Center, running until August 30, 2024. The exhibit showcases a dynamic mix of his notable set designs from the entertainment industry and his thought-provoking fine art pieces, including the “Living Forest” collection. Cumberbatch’s diverse talents shine through his successful projects in film, television, and interior design, with collaborations involving Netflix, Fox, and Robert De Niro.

This exhibition offers a unique look at Cumberbatch’s artistic evolution, highlighting his seamless transition between different creative mediums. Beyond his extensive film and television work, he has earned acclaim for his interior design and fine art, with pieces displayed at prestigious venues like The Poet’s Den Theatre and Gallery in New York and the 14th Caribbean Fine Art Barbados.

The “Living Forest” collection, a highlight of the exhibition, explores deep themes of nature, renewal, and human resilience. This series exemplifies Cumberbatch’s talent for inspiring viewers and provoking meaningful conversations about the relationship between humanity and the environment. Moreover, a portion of the exhibit reflects “survivors and thrivers.” One of his new paintings will be of Simone Smith, who survived from bone marrow cancer and operates a successful fashion business as the tenacious Alicia Keys.

A special reception on July 13, 2024 allowed guests to meet Christopher Cumberbatch and curator Anderson M. Pilgrim, who praised Cumberbatch’s significant contributions to both film and theater. This exhibition is a must-see for art enthusiasts and fans of Cumberbatch’s work.
