© PABLO GENOVÉS COURTESY OF PAUL STOLPER GALLERY

A work by the Berlin-based Spanish artist Pablo Genovés depicts St Paul’s Cathedral engulfed by water. It is one of several works by the artist on the theme of water, which are on display in the nave of St Paul’s Cathedral. The Cathedral commissioned the works as part of the Just Water collaboration, which is showcasing art and events inspired by water on display in cathedrals and churches around the world in 2017.

The Chancellor of St Paul’s, Canon Mark Oakley, said: “St Paul’s is delighted and disturbed to have Pablo Genovés’ works in the nave. Water is essential to the life of the world and, because of climate injustice, is now through excess or absence threatening that life. This reality resonates with the Christian tradition where water can be seen as a chaotic and destructive force but also, in tune with God’s Spirit and a responsive community, the source of new life.”
