Acclaimed artist and illustrator Darrell Warner is set to debut a poignant solo exhibition titled 'Crucifixion' at the Nature in Art museum near Gloucester. Running from May 12 to June 21, 2026, the show features a series of striking watercolours depicting Britain's native birds—ranging from common blackbirds to elusive water rails—that have been killed by human interventions such as vehicle strikes and window collisions.
The exhibition serves as both a lament for the loss of biodiversity and a sobering critique of human apathy toward the environment. By elevating these fallen creatures through the medium of natural history painting, Warner challenges viewers to confront the ecological impact of modern development and encourages a more mindful, protective relationship with the natural world.
