Bellway hosts Highgate Art Exhibition to showcase local talent – local residents invited to enjoy some culture, carols and canapes
On Thursday 14th December, from 6.30pm until 9.00pm, local developer, Bellway Homes is hosting an exhibition of captivating, vibrant paintings by local artist, Michèle Janes – one of the UK’s leading original abstract artists. This free exhibition will take place at Bellway Homes’ prestigious new development on Bishops Road, Highgate, where local residents are invited to attend a festive evening of culture, canapés and carol singing.
The exhibition will be opened by Councillor Stephen Mann, Mayor of Haringey, and a selection of paintings will be available to purchase at the event – 10% of the proceeds will be donated to The Mayors’ Special Fund Appeal ‘Making a Difference for Mental Health’.
The exhibition will deliver an ‘abstract Christmas’ to leafy Highgate – a selection of paintings with vibrant colour as the dominant theme – showcasing Michèle’s love of London life and “the feline world big and small”. It will
feature a range of both paper framed and canvas art work. ‘Abstract freelance’ pieces will include colour integrations with a high gloss finish (on paper framed), combining minimalist and full on colour effects. This selection of
images are destined to brighten up the most mundane of environments, by adding a true WOW factor.
‘Abstract defined’ pieces will include colour integrations with a more delicate feel – allowing greater scope for interpretation – featured on canvass. These abstract images represent the artist’s emotion at any given time (Michèle’s work is often acclaimed for her honesty of expression).
