Regrettably the tree was highly visible to two German machine gun nests\, resulting in almost the entire regiment being wiped out within 20 minutes of the commencement of hostilities. Scarlett and Marc aim to d raw attention to the humanity behind the horror\, their interpretation of this devastating and touching part of human history.\n\nMoving up to the D r Martin Luther King Jr building in the historic Liverpool Docks\, the exh ibition will commence with a private view on Friday 18th November 2016\, t he day the Battle of the Somme ended 100 years ago\, and then open to the public from Saturday 19th November 2016. The Liverpool PALS were the first battalions raised during the Great War and the last to be stood down.\n\n One of the 15 paintings in The Danger Tree exhibition is dedicated to the memory of the Liverpool PALS. Entitled “The First and the Last”\, an e nlarged print of the painting will be displayed in Exchange Flag Square in recognition of the role they played. The AR for this piece comes from a t ouching letter written by 28 year old Arthur Seanor who was killed on the opening day of the Battle of the Somme. He wrote this letter to his mother to be delivered in the event of his death.\n\nProduced in oil on (4’ x 4’) canvas\, each painting was conceived\, executed and digitally captur ed layer by layer\; a typical painting is made up of 10\,000 photographs o f the canvas capturing every daub of paint as it is laid down. Working in collaboration\, Scarlett has painted the images and Marc has created the i ntegrated animations and digital art\, including archive photographs and a udio recordings of soldiers from the First World War\, as well as text\, a nimated graphics\, archive film footage\, music and sound effects. All of these elements were painstakingly created layer upon layer\, each “burie d” within the metadata only to be “exposed” via Blippar’s AR techn ology\, and thereby unlocking the emotional story “hidden” beneath the visible paint on canvas. Leading British actors\, Stephen Graham\, Christ opher Eccleston\, Sean Bean and Sophie Okonedo provide moving renditions o f the poetry\, narrating the soundtrack to the images. Film composer Marc Canham creates the beautiful bespoke score for each painting.\n\nThe exhib ition itself has been created as an installation within the ground floor o f the Martin Luther King Jnr Building. Created by award-winning film set d esigner Kave Quinn\, the exhibition space has been recreated into a replic a of a bombed out gallery on the French / Belgium borders of 1916. “We d on’t hold an exhibition\,” say Scarlett and Marc\, “We host a visual experience.” Visitors can download the free app Blippar for iOS and And roid ahead of the opening or they will be provided with iPads and headphon es to engage with the paintings.\n\nA collection of limited edition fine a rt will accompany the collection. Available to view at the museum\, the wo rk will be launched as an online exclusive at www.castlegalleries.com on F riday 18th November 2016. Scarlett’s work is exclusively published by Wa shington Green Fine Art\, the UK’s leading art publisher\, and is availa ble to buy from Castle Fine Art galleries nationwide. For over 30 years\, Washington Green has specialised in bringing new talent to the contemporar y art market\; at just 27\, Scarlett was talent spotted by the art publish er who held her first solo show “The Eleventh Hour”\, in collaboration with The Royal British Legion\, in 2014 in London’s Mayfair to critical acclaim.  She has since gone on to release a number of signed Limited Ed ition artwork with the company\, which prides itself in nurturing the very best the UK art scene has to offer.\n\nExhibition information\n\nPrivate View – Friday 18th November\nExhibition runs until 18th December\n\nMart in Luther King Museum\nAlbert Dock\nLiverpool Waterfront\nLiverpool\nL3 4A X\n0151 478 4499\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2016/11/one-in-four-oil-on-canvas-marc-marot.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20161030T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
