An exhibition of paintings by Lee Travis (1939–2012), 11-24 March 2016.
A fascination with plant form, its structural concept and the microscopic condition of flowers and plants drove local artist Lee Travis to create these extraordinary abstract images during his frequent visits to the Normandy countryside. For this body of late work, Travis developed a new and experimental way of working, using pressed flowers and foliage as the starting point for many of paintings in this exhibition.
Travis wrote of his work, “Painting for me has always been an absorbing and sometimes painful voyage of discovery… I use the word paint advisedly for what continues to excite me is to apply paint to a surface and attempt to create an honesty and reality regardless of the subject matter. It is, and I hope always will be, a marvellous exploration.”
Travis was born on the Isle of Man and trained as a textile designer at Salford College of Art. His freelance work included designs for Courtaulds, Sanderson and Crown, Liberty and Richard Allen as well as graphic designs for the BBC and major publishing houses.
After 15 years in the advertising industry as art and creative directors, Travis began working on his personal drawing and painting projects full time as well as lecturing. His output was prolific. He exhibited widely including the Poole Fine Art Gallery, Singer Friedlander Gallery (London 1991) and Hamilton Gallery (New York), Pond Square Gallery (1992) and the Atelier La Cuviniere (Normandy 2004). He received commissions from Time Life Magazine and the energy company Power Gen. His work was accepted by the Royal Academy for its Summer Exhibition (1992).
Travis began this cohesive body of large works in oil and acrylic on canvas in 2011 and it was his wish to exhibit at Highgate Gallery. Sadly, Lee died suddenly of a heart attack in 2012. We are grateful to his widow, artist, designer and costume maker Yvonne, for curating this exhibition with us.
Open Tuesday-Friday 13:00-17:00; Saturday 11:00-16:00; Sunday 11:00-17:00. Closed Monday

Turning professional in the early ‘90s, he worked with Philip Bent and Steve Williamson and became part of London’s Acid Jazz scene.
He has since performed all over the world and recorded with Billy Cobham, Gabrielle, Tom Jones, Carl Orr, Alex Wilson, Nathan Haynes, Marlene Shaw, Dave Valentin and Jack DeJohnette.

UpTown brings a blend of high quality music for dancing to North London’s favourite juke box bar. With an eye to the dancefloor and an ear to some of the finest music produced over the last several decades, Djs Trailer Trish and Johnny Klash set the perfect tone for a Friday night out.
UpTown brings you back to when kids in the North of England spun the night away to the sounds of Detroit and Philly; when Motown ruled the charts; when rock and roll meant ‘rock and roll’; when the sounds of the American South met the big city clubs and everyone was ‘doin the popcorn’; when Studio 54 bumped to brave new beats; when Debbie Harry met Fab 5 Freddy; when UK indie ruled the world; and when pop music was good music
Highgate councillors hold a surgery at Jacksons Lane on the 1st and 3rd Saturday mornings, and at the HLSI (Highgate Literary and Scientific Society, South Grove, Pond Square) on the 2nd and 4th Saturday mornings. There is no surgery on 5th Saturdays.
Councillors’ surgeries provide the opportunity for a constituent to meet one of his/her councillors face-to-face. The purpose is usually to discuss and hopefully to help resolve a local or personal issue in which Haringey council has or could have a role. Meeting at a surgery can be particularly useful when there are numerous documents relevant to the issue. Surgeries are normally held in the cafe or foyer area of Jacksons Lane theatre, but a private space is available if required. No booking is needed.
10pm-2am
Your favourite vintage sounds guaranteed to get you clapping and shouting. This is a raucous night of rock n roll and soul. All your old favourites spun on crackly 45’s. Red was featured in Timeout Special as one of the top alternative djs in London… come see for yourself.. Think polka dots, braces, high trousers and mini skirt
“The joy of this night is that red balances both rare and known vintage records perfectly which means there is never a lull in the evening, never have we been to a night before where the dance floor is packed from start to finnish” HOXTON RADIO
