Summary:

"A stunning collection of artwork from the Arborealists, a group of highly-skilled artists who feature trees, forests and woodland as their most vital subjects. The Arborealists' diverse and influential work highlights protected woodland's history and changing landscapes, as well as illuminating the enchantment of ancient trees. Each member has developed their own artistic language, showcasing manifold applications in everything from scale, medium, style and philosophical approach. Featuring the artwork of Arborealist members including Tim Craven, Jemma Appleby, Alex Faulkner, Ann Blockley, Fiona McIntyre and many more, this beautiful book is a joyful celebration of the natural world. As well as showcasing the diverse work of 36 artists, the book also includes: An introduction to the Arborealists by Philippa Beale, a founding member; Information on some of the site-specific projects undertaken by the collective, written by the President of the Arborealists, Tim Craven; An exploration of the woodland at Staverton Park in Suffolk, written by author and woodland ecologist George Peterken. In the last ten years, the Arborealists' many successful exhibitions have carved them a strong national profile and widespread critical acclaim. Forests, Woods and Groves is perfect for anyone with an interest in spectacular art or a passion for the natural world"--Publisher's description.
