Press Reviews
In this marvellous and beautiful book, painter Alastair Gordon answers the question, not with a justification, but instead with a multifaceted celebration. Like the many genres of art and the myriad ways they enrich us, Gordon lets bloom a thousand and one answers to the question. And every one is an invitation--"Come and see!"--to a richer world and a better way to be human.
A breath of fresh air! Ally's book and his art call us to reject the lies and see reality as it is: God’s reality.
A timely appreciation of the importance and significance of the visual arts.
Suffused with wisdom, joy and wonder
Deeply personal and heart-warming… a ‘must-read’ for creative students
This is not just a book for lovers of art. This is a book for everyone ... beautifully crafted, Biblically rooted and, at times, painfully vulnerable.
Just the book we need in these days when many of us are filled with self-doubt and pessimism
With illustration from contemporary art and reference to theatre and film, this book shows the importance of art for all, not just the professionals. Creativity helps humans to flourish and reflects the character of a creative God.
This is a book to return to time and again for inspiration and encouragement. Illustrated by author Alastair Gordon, Why Art Matters encourages us to embrace creativity at home, church, in play and professionally in the creative arts and industries.
