In the Chiesa di San Rocco
Art exhibitions
Every year we ask artists with connections to Tuscany to do art exhibitions in the small 13th century church of Chiesa di San Rocco. The beautiful little church lies in front of Palazzo Tiglio and is still owned by the parish of San Pancrazio.
Chiesa di San Rocco
Chiesa di San Rocco is the oldest religious building in San Pancrazio built in the 13th century. This still ordained church is owned by the parish of San Pancrazio, that kindly offers it to us for art exhibitions during the summer months.

‘The Impossible Stillness of Light’
​
London based painter Gill Button is known for her captivating translation of found imagery; creating gestural, intimate portraits that are deeply personal and intuitive. Capturing moments of wonder, melancholy, strength or vulnerability, Button’s practice makes us question how we connect to each other, but ultimately to ourselves. Her larger canvases, often cinematic in nature, depict moments of contemplation; evocative of distant dreams, fears or memories.

About Existential Mirror:
​
A portrait of the artist gazing, either into the vast unknown outside of the canvas’ constraints, or directly onto the beholder. What lies behind the eyes? Do they yearn for knowledge, or do they hold within an understanding of life? Is the artist blind, or does he apprehend his sight? The self portraits invite the viewer to dabble with their meaning, to ask themselves if the paintings are asking questions or providing answers - or both.
