Within the beautiful rural setting of Waterperry House are lions and sheep in the same field, elephants and crocodiles swimming in the same river; there is an ecstatic dancing saint; twenty golden suns and a hidden giant bird. These are stories and myths that contain profound wisdom and make it accessible to everyone.
The frescoes at Waterperry, we believe, are the largest boun fresco cycle to be painted in Britain for 500 years. Spanning three floors it is a mural painting for today, but uses the ancient fresco technique. Contained within the Georgian house, in a purpose built space, which took twelve years to build, this project involved the skills of a team of more than thirty artists and architects, all students of the School, most of whom worked on the project as volunteers.
The aim of the whole project - both art and architecture - is to express the essence of the philosophy taught and practised by the School of Philosophy & Economic Science for everyone who comes to visit the house. The hope is that due to the highly durable nature of fresco, the paintings could last for five hundred years.
