Marilyn Southey: How does your garden…?Marilyn Southey: How does your garden...?

Since the beginning of time, man has endeavoured to create places of tranquility in communication with nature, places to uplift the spirits:  gardens.  In this, her second exhibition at Highgate Gallery, Southey shows work inspired, for the most part, by her garden in London and her garden in France, which has been evolving over the last thirty years.  There are also more recent local paintings, of which Southey comments:  “I have enjoyed discovering little gardens in Highgate that make such a difference to the landscape”.

Exhibition at Highgate Gallery: Fates and Furies

4 – 17 July 2025

Vivien Thomason is a consummate colourist. She drips, swirls, layers and streams colour sometimes balanced and harmonious, sometimes menacing and unexpected. Her abstract works are a clear statement about the power of colour to energise our senses and feed our thoughts and fantasies.

The traumas of the earth and the rage of long-forgotten victims are all recurring themes. Unashamedly gothic, Vivien often incorporates apocalyptic figures storming from the canvas like ‘Furies’ on a quest to avenge the injustices and misogyny of the world. Vivien also re-works Gauguin’s Tahitian paintings, reclaiming the exploited young women as empowered ‘witches’, no longer weak or submissive. Other compositions include ‘maps’ of the sea and land incorporating bird and animal motifs, ‘necklace’ paintings with large carved beads layered over mourning ‘figures’, lost in lament. Regardless of the dramatic themes, touches of humour are also in evidence. Her paintings are rendered and dripped in liquid acrylics.

After a lengthy career in fashion, Vivien picked up her paints and poured her passions onto canvas. Her career made her profoundly aware how colour can appeal and affect mood. It also clarified how women are treated and often exploited in the industry. After years of faster and faster fashion, Vivien seeks to make amends by creating work that references the state of our world today and the climate catastrophe.

Wilma Johnson

Ghosts of the Madruga

12 – 25 September

 

The Madrugada – the time between midnight and dawn when barriers between

the worlds are fragile and dreams and reality mingle.

Wilma Johnson creates vivid dreamscapes in which real people cross paths

with goddesses, gorgons and mythological creatures.

Many are set in her childhood home in Highgate which was destroyed by fire

– the spirit of the house has presence of its own.

Sep 20 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

 

Wilma Johnson

Ghosts of the Madruga

12 – 25 September

 

The Madrugada – the time between midnight and dawn when barriers between

the worlds are fragile and dreams and reality mingle.

Wilma Johnson creates vivid dreamscapes in which real people cross paths

with goddesses, gorgons and mythological creatures.

Many are set in her childhood home in Highgate which was destroyed by fire

– the spirit of the house has presence of its own.

Adrian Hemming. The Shape of Memory @ Highgate Gallery
Nov 14 @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm

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.
