TO PLANT A GARDEN IS TO BELIEVE IN TOMORROW

In To Plant a Garden Is to Believe in Tomorrow, Graham Marchant presents a series of paintings centred on gardens and their surrounding spaces. The works depict seasonal change, filtered light, and carefully observed plant forms. Trees, flowers, and foliage are rendered with clarity and attention to structure, often set within framed views that suggest a dialogue between interior and exterior space.

Light plays a central role across the exhibition. Sunlight passing through leaves, reflections on windows, and the contrast between shadow and brightness create depth and atmosphere. The compositions are balanced and measured, allowing the viewer to focus on colour relationships, spatial arrangement, and surface detail.

Rather than dramatic narrative, the paintings emphasise steady observation and the gradual rhythms of growth. Through these scenes, the garden is presented as a lived environment shaped by time, care, and seasonal cycles. The works invite sustained looking, foregrounding perception itself as part of the experience.
