Highgate Gallery in conjunction with The Wolf Collective is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by acclaimed British artist Adrian Hemming.
This exhibition brings together a significant body of work spanning Hemming’s decades-long career,
including oil paintings, prints, drawings, and watercolours.
Known for his meditative landscapes and luminous handling of colour, Hemming’s practice invites viewers
to reflect on how memory shapes perception—and how the land itself becomes a repository of both
personal and collective experience.
The Shape of Memory engages deeply with themes drawn from cultural history and philosophy.
Echoing Simon Schama’s Landscape and Memory, the exhibition explores landscape not merely
as a backdrop, but as a force through which identity, myth, and memory are forged. Hemming’s
work also resonates with both Nietzsche and Proust’s reflections on conscious remembering in the
body, where memory is not only stored in the mind but experienced viscerally—through rhythm,
sensation, and image.
As noted in the late Professor Denis Cosgrove’s essay on Hemming, his landscapes are “charged with the
geography of emotion,” operating between place and psyche. Hemming’s canvases often blur the boundary
between inner and outer worlds, rendering terrain that is at once real and remembered, abstract and intimate.
This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to engage with the full emotional and intellectual range of
Hemming’s work—a practice deeply rooted in the poetics of place and the subtle architectures of memory.

Using major works of art as a metaphorical prism, Justin Mullins creates images that explore the cultural, intellectual and emotional role of mathematics in human life.
These mathematical photographs are inspired by Monet, Bellini, Dali, Rustici, Warhol and others. Each photograph sits next to an image of the work that inspired it, like a reflection. In this way, the exhibition space becomes a hall of mathematical mirrors — portals between mathematical and physical realities.
Note that the exhibition is scheduled to open daily from 12 noon to 4pm but may be closed for private events at short notice. Please check with Lauderdale House before your visit on 020 8348 8716.

These mathematical photographs are inspired by Monet, Bellini, Dali, Rustici, Warhol and others. Each photograph sits next to an image of the work that inspired it, like a reflection. In this way, the exhibition space becomes a hall of mathematical mirrors — portals between mathematical and physical realities.
Note that the exhibition is scheduled to open daily from 12 noon to 4pm but may be closed for private events at short notice. Please check with Lauderdale House before your visit on 020 8348 8716.

Using major works of art as a metaphorical prism, Justin Mullins creates images that explore the cultural, intellectual and emotional role of mathematics in human life.
These mathematical photographs are inspired by Monet, Bellini, Dali, Rustici, Warhol and others. Each photograph sits next to an image of the work that inspired it, like a reflection. In this way, the exhibition space becomes a hall of mathematical mirrors — portals between mathematical and physical realities.

The class is suitable for beginners and is friendly and inclusive. Style is Hatha yoga with various influences – gentle, but still delivering strength and flexibility. Come and try a class to enhance your sense of wellbeing, release stress and tension and to experience deep relaxation. Mats provided, free parking (for now, but check signs!) no need to book – just turn up. The class is in the beautiful church – it’s set back a bit and has big blue doors. The class is mixed level/mixed ability/mixed age. I am a registered BWY teacher and fully insured. For more info about me/my yoga, have a look at my website
