Organised by the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in collaboration with the Pera Museum, Stephen Chambers: The Big Country and Other Stories exhibition presented a journey to the artist’s world, gathering paintings and graphic works from the last 20 years of his career. The fine texture, flat perspective and decorative elements stand out in his print series and oils that bear influences from early Renaissance painting. His impressive work takes its influence from William Wyler’s epic 1958 western The Big Country, providing the initial inspiration for a large-scale work consisting of 78 separate prints. The exhibition catalogue features his other series of prints as well as his oil painting salongside The Big Country, shedding light on the artist’s illustrative and colourful world.
