FREE PAINTERS AND SCULPTORS

  I am delighted to be selected for this new exhibition and showing 'Mariner Red in part 1, 17th-21st September. I will be delighted to see you there, details below STILLNESS IN MOVEMENT ‘Not known, because not looked for But heard, half heard in the stillness Between two waves of the sea’ from Four Quartets by T S Eliot These three lines from Eliot’s epic poem were the starting point of The London Group’s latest, and perhaps most evocative exhibition, Stillness in Movement. Its themes and offshoots are explored by 74 London Group members - the stillness before dawn; chance encounters that are frozen time; the anticipation and pause before a performance; the stillness between breaths... An overriding narrative is that of nature changing and resting. In her gravure print, ‘Botanical Beach’, J. Yuen Ling Chiu depicts the stillness and movement of water: ‘Every day the water recedes... underneath granite outcroppings and along stretches of sandstone, tide pools form... every day the w

  White Noise Projects   SPECTRUM 10 - 15 September 2024 Private View: Wednesday 11 September, 6 - 8.30 pm One Paved Court | 1 Paved Court | Richmond TW9 1LZ   RSVP Spectrum  concludes a series of exhibitions presented by White Noise Projects across the two gallery floors of One Paved Court, a beautifully restored Richmond townhouse. For the final instalment, the White Noise team have partnered up with Matthew Burrows to expand the generous principles of the Artist Support Pledge scheme into a physical space. The eleven artists who have participated in the gallery takeover since May will be joined by almost fifty contemporaries to fill the gallery with affordable works of art that range from photography and painting to ceramics and small sculptures. With submissions from across the country and with styles ranging from monochrome abstracts to photorealistic drawings and everything in between, the exhibition reflects the broad range of creative output from established and lesser known ar

  Mamuka Dideba Urban Allusions 2 - 14 September 2024 Private View: Tuesday 3 September, 6 - 9 pm Katrine Levin Galleries at Marie Jose Gallery 16 Victoria Grove | South Kensington | W8 5RW   RSVP With  Urban Allusions  Georgian artist Mamuka Dideba takes viewers on a metaphorical journey that is loosely based on Italo Calvino's 1972 novel 'Invisible Cities'.  While Dideba's abstract paintings depict magical cities as an interplay of light and colour, subtly changing tones and evocative shapes, his portrait paintings present the cities’ quirky inhabitants who seem to exist outside of time, their exaggerated forms suggestive of their character and profession. Where Calvino uses language to contemplate on the nature of human civilisation through poetic conversations, Mamuka Dideba conjures visual dialogues between past memories and future aspirations. Painting in an elaborate Renaissance technique, the influence of the Old Masters on his practice is unmistakable. He has b

  It gives me great pleasure to be taking part in another show at St Johns churchyard. It's a beautiful venue, an oasis of calm in central London. There is to be a PV on Thursday 11th, next week, I hope to see some of you there.  Panchett, 2024, ceramic, wire

  Anna Bingham | Annamarie Dzendrowskyj   Recollect 2 - 14 July 2024 Private View: Wednesday 3 July, 6 - 8.30 pm One Paved Court | 1 Paved Court | Richmond TW9 1LZ   RSVP Recollect  combines two solo presentations under one roof, with Anna Bingham and Annamarie Dzendrowskyj sharing the unique exhibition space of a sensitively restored Georgian building. The artists respond to the exposed walls at One Paved Court that hold memories of the building's past with individual contemplations on our intrinsic connection to our environment. Anna Bingham describes her ceramics as holding spaces for memories of place. As they grow and change throughout the making process, the vessels themselves become  metaphors for the interplay of fragility and strength. Whether sketched and planned or spontaneously assembled, with the plants that inspired them evident or abstracted, Bingham reflects on the perennial cycle of life both in sculpture and in painting. Annamarie Dzendrowskyj's practice is ce
