The Stations of the Cross, St Andrews, Fulham Fields, London UK

Church Times article, Issue 7668, 5th March, 2010.

Jesus is condemned to death is the first in a sequence of Stations of the Cross painted by Philip Gurrey and hung in St Andrew’s, Fulham Fields, London W14, for Lent. The church runs projects for homeless people, young mothers, and isolated elderly people. The artist immersed himself in its life, and based Stations on studies of people who come through its doors. As the narrative moves around the building, the small images, which at first focus tightly on the face, become increasingly abstract. Jesus dies on the cross, in which a streak of paint may suggest the veil of the Temple being torn, picks up on the colour of two of the church’s large moulded Stations which flank it. Gurrey won the Pulse Prize in New York in 2008, and the paintings are for sale; but St Andrew’s will keep the 15th Station, Jesus rises from the dead, for use in a new resurrection-themed room as part of a planned project to remove the brick wall built across the Victorian nave in the 1970s and reorganise the space at the west end for multiple use.
