The Power of Trees: new art exhibition at Kew Gardens

BGUK_3205906 - A new exhibition highlighting spectacular trees and their artistic resonance runs from 12 April to 14 September 2025 at Kew Gardens. The exhibition consists of the epic work 'Horizontal - Vaakasuora' by Eija-Liisa Ahtila. It is a 5 metre projected installation. Finnish visual artist Eija-Liisa Ahtila’s Horizontal–Vaakasuora offers an awe-inspiring portrayal of a 30-metre-tall spruce in Finland's boreal forest. Complete with the sounds of a creaking trunk and birdsong, this living portrait captures the majesty of this ancient tree while challenging our perceptions of the natural world. This installation is displayed alongside never-before-seen drawings and 20 new works by the artists of the Bedgebury Pinetum Florilegium Society.
