A film by BAFTA award-winning director Phil Grabsky

Step into the world of Edward Hopper – one of America’s most iconic and mysterious artists. His work is instantly recognisable and has influenced generations of painters, filmmakers, photographers, and musicians, but who was the man behind the brush?

This compelling new film explores Hopper’s life and art in depth – from his early days as an illustrator to his rise to critical and commercial acclaim. It also uncovers the complex personal story behind his success, including the role of his wife, who set aside her own artistic ambitions to support his career.

Featuring expert interviews, diary insights, and striking visuals of American life, this is a powerful portrait of an artist who helped define a nation’s visual identity.

🎟 Don’t miss this fascinating journey into the life and work of a true American original.

✨ You are warmly invited to the launch of 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐝, a thought-provoking new exhibition by Stephen Wilson and John Brown at Roe Valley Arts Centre.

📷 Through photographs and video projections of religious signs found across Northern Ireland, the exhibition explores inherited and contemporary experiences of faith, and how people connect with the idea of God through image and language.

✍️ Alongside the exhibition, John Brown presents the companion poem Such Signs As Were Sent, further exploring themes of image, language and imagined divine presence.

🗓 Saturday 6 June | 12 noon
📍 Roe Valley Arts Centre

🎤 Launch event includes an artist talk.

All welcome.
