Billed as “the first major film to reveal the motive and techniques behind each stroke of paint as the artist creates,” this intimate documentary follows former official British war artist Peter Howson as he creates his apocalyptic 6ft x 8ft oil painting Prophecy, from blank canvas to its first public exhibition and final destination on the wall of a private art collector in London’s Canary Wharf.
Along the way, we’re plunged into the artist’s “darkly comic obsessive mind”.
