Roger Wagner: The Seeds of Eternity - Exhibition at Auckland Palace

18 Feb – 31 Dec 2026 · Bishop Auckland

About this event

About The Bishop Trevor Rooms at Auckland Palace will host an exhibition of the works of artist and poet Roger Wagner. Weaving together Biblical narratives and contemporary landscapes, Wagner's visionary paintings explore the mysteries of human existence. At the heart of the exhibition are two of the artist’s most compelling paintings: Menorah and The Harvest is the End of the World and the Reapers are Angels. Visitors will have the rare chance to see both works exhibited together for the first time since 1994, and for the first time ever in northern England. Spanning Roger Wagner’s career, the exhibition begins with the oil painting, Ash Wednesday, together with early drawings and studies from which grew his illustrations of the Book of Job, and the profound, large-scale paintings he is known for today.
