Nearly 50 insurance professionals will be showcasing their artwork at the Lloyd's Art Group's Autumn Exhibition from October 27 to October 31 at the Old Library at Lloyd's in London. Aon UK Limited, part of Aon plc, is sponsoring the Lloyd's Art Group.
The Lloyd's Art Group has been running since 1963 and is committed to supporting the insurance community by enabling both professional and budding artists – whether currently in the industry or retired – and their families to exhibit their work at a prestigious venue. With an additional commitment to charity, 15 percent of the art sales go towards the Coombe Trust to support disadvantaged families and the homeless.
Susannah Hubert, the leader of Lloyd's Art Group, enthused, “This year's exhibition boasts Matisse-inspired paintings and sculptures created from padlocks through to mixed media, glass, and etchings. It's a visual feast that we hope will inspire colleagues in the industry and beyond.”
Dominic Christian, the president of Lloyd's Art Group and chief executive officer, Aon UK Ltd & Aon Benfield executive chairman international, commented, “What fascinates me is the people behind the art. Our colleagues in underwriting, broking, claims whose exceptional skills and creativity add another dimension to the industry. Empowering the insurance and wider communities to flourish is at the heart of this initiative by promoting excellence in art and bringing together industry professionals and their families with a common passion.”
