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.

Wilma Johnson: Ghosts of the Madrugada @ Highgate Gallery
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.

Exhibition. Lesley Dabson: A London Year @ Highgate Literary & Scientific Institution
Oct 10 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Lesley Dabson: A London Year
10 – 23 October 2025
Lesley Dabson describes herself as a “literal painter”. “When a scene has hooked my attention,
I can’t wait to capture it in oil”. And so it was at our first meeting: within minutes Dabson’s keen eye
has captured shapes, colours, textures; a particular vista or view in and from the HLSI building where
we meet.

 


In this exhibition, A London Year, Dabson shares city scenes throughout the seasons and in all lights.
She works in oil paint, both in her studio and en plein air directly in front of her subject.
Both practices bring different elements to her work. The immediacy of a changing scene, where
light, tides and weather influence a plein air piece and the calmer atmosphere of her studio where
she can take a more considered approach. “There is no difference in style or brushwork” Dabson
explains,“ but both aspects are important and complementary in my practice”.
Draughtsmanship is fundamental to Dabson’s practice. She is a member of the Hesketh Hubbard
Life Drawing Society, meeting weekly in the Mall Galleries to draw. The professional models, who
live and work in the city choose their own poses; Dabson works at speed and with accuracy. The
studies, primarily in charcoal on textured paper, are included in A London Year.
Dabson has lived in London for over forty years and her work is firmly rooted in the changing
seasons of the city.
In 2024 her work was included in Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, she is an elected member
of Chelsea Art Society and the Royal Society of Birmingham Artists.
