A new exhibition titled 'No Life Without Death' opens at The Lightbox Museum in Woking, presented by Cole-Levi Klimt and curated by Chelsey Chase. It features six artists—Paul Freud, Meryl Donoghue, Eva Yates, Orly Kritzman, Ana Luiza Rodrigues, and Charlotte Worthington—working across painting, sculpture, photography, installation, and cyanotype. The show explores mortality not as an endpoint but as a force that runs through life, shaping desire, fear, grief, and presence. It follows earlier Cole-Levi Klimt exhibitions, Ephemeral Imprints and Renewal, and runs from a soft preview on 17 June to 28 June 2026.
The exhibition matters because it reframes a universal theme—death—in a way that emphasizes living fully rather than fearing an end. By bringing together emerging and established artists, including graduates of the Royal College of Art, it demonstrates how contemporary visual art can engage deeply with existential questions while remaining accessible. The show also highlights the curatorial vision of Chelsey Chase and the thematic consistency of Cole-Levi Klimt's programming, which focuses on impermanence, transformation, and loss.
