The Cost of Love Exhibition Catalogue

The Cost of Love is a full-colour art catalogue featuring a collection of artworks by Charlie Kirkham and Robert Walker to accompany an exhibition at Rugby Art Gallery and Museum May 19-30 2026. Inspired by classical mythology, the works reinterpret stories such as Cupid and Psyche, Adonis and Aphrodite and George and the Dragon through a contemporary figurative style. The paintings focus on key emotional moments—love, loss, desire, and transformation—using strong composition, symbolism, and inquisitive narratives. This catalogue presents the works alongside concise texts that provide context without overwhelming the imagery. Ideal for collectors, art enthusiasts, and those interested in mythological themes in contemporary painting.
