Papercuts
Nov

to Dec 24

Papercuts

Papercuts brings together the works of 3 artists in which paper is more than a vehicle for the image, instead it plays an integral role. The works explore its density and transparency, how it cuts, tears and layers, absorbs shades of bold and subtle colour and ultimately maintains a fine balance between fragility and strength.

Pattern & Texture

to Sep 30

Pattern & Texture

Printmaking is perfect for exploring the pattern and texture that decorate the surface of our lives. The fluid rhythms of moving water, the hard punched grids of urban metal, the soft edges of the human body and the rough unevenness of brick, stone and concrete have all inspired work in this exhibition.

Every Drop of Ink has a Purpose

I am delighted to be exhibiting this celebration of diverse, ambitious and brilliant artwork of HSoA printmaking artists alongside their tutors; the artists Theresa Pateman and Emma Pegg.
The artwork on display, often incorporating new media and concepts that make the artworks highly personal, focussing on ideas as well as craftskills. The artworks create languages from observed, experimental and abstract imagery, make each piece relevant to personal self expression. A sheer delight.

ReFocus at Hampstead School of Art

ReFocus at Hampstead School of Art

  • Hampstead School of Art (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Less than a couple of centuries ago an artist’s range of focus was primarily located between the immediate foreground and the infinite horizon. Today artists find themselves in a range that has extended far beyond the visible universe into the realms of light years and Plank lengths. These advancements have brought with them their own philosophical, political and aesthetic implications, prompting us to reconsider some of the most fundamental notions underpinning the Humanities, and in turn readdress the questions surrounding what it means to advance as an artist and collectively as an Art world. Maybe advancements in Art lie less in the direction of progress but more in the state of requestioning, bringing the past back into the current and sending the current into the past, forming a reciprocal relationship that dissolves both notions into a single realm of potential. This is a challenge the following artists have embarked upon through their practices and like the lens of an eye constantly readjusting to its environment, their works develop in a continuous state of refocusing around their unique philosophical, political and aesthetic concerns.

Songs of Spring Easter Egg

  • Flask Walk London, England, NW3 1HE United Kingdom (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

An Easter Egg inspired by John Keats, who lived in Hampstead and wrote some of his most iconic poetry there.    As commissioned by Hampstead Village BID, fellow-artist Rosanna Gardner and I set about to create something that was relevant to the local area and linked the themes of visual art, literature and nature.    The colours were chosen in response to the imagery created by Keats in two of his poems:  Ode to a Nightingale and I Stood Tiptoe upon a Hill.

Tell Tale Pots Workshop

Tell Tale Pots Workshop

We will be running a workshop for families based on our exhibit, "Pots of Sadness”, where the essence of the story is sharing food at times of Sadness.    You will have the opportunity to put down your own thoughts or stories on paper, which you can then encase in clay.   Since the theme is based around the kitchen, the heart of the home, we encourage you to bring in some (small!) kitchen utensils to mould the clay with.   Whilst some pieces can be taken home to be painted later, we hope that others can be kept and added to our display.
