GRAHAM METSON    Rising from the Ashes

On November 24th 2021, a devastating fire destroyed the home, art studio and law offices of internationally acclaimed artist Graham Metson and his wife Cheryl Lean. In a matter of a few hours, hundreds of pieces of irreplaceable artwork, both in his studio and throughout their home,
vanished in the flames.
But all was not lost! As if by some miracle, a vast collection of his artwork, stored in the downstairs area of the home, was relatively untouched. Even their two cats, Gully and Rufus, hiding in the basement, survived the blaze. A miracle indeed!
The aptly named, “Rising from the Ashes”, is a retrospective art exhibit, spanning over 60 years of Metson’s work, and features paintings that were saved from that fire. A true celebration of a creative genius overcoming tragedy!
This video brings this amazing retrospective art exhibition to life.
