Elizabeth Hannaford: Less Abstract, More Real – landscapes, soundscapes and more …
11-24 September 2015
including on Friday 18 September at 7.00pm: a Gallery Talk with Music to celebrate the joint venture between artist Elizabeth Hannaford and classical and jazz musician David Gordon. (Admission £5 on the door.)
Elizabeth Hannaford’s work is a celebration of the worlds of nature and music. “Her vision is underpinned by intuitive mark-making, a sense of drawing in paint, rich subconscious evocations of sound and place, and a sensuous, exquisite quality of surface.” (Clare Cooper, Director, Art First, London W1).
She does not set out to create abstract works. The abstraction is a by-product of trying to find marks and colours which communicate more than the visual experience, particularly in her response to music. Her raw, untouched landscapes are becoming ‘less abstract, more real’, with a new organic figuration emerging from the way she handles paint. After a recent road trip to Namibia, animals have been making an appearance.
The work is underpinned by many years of drawing the moving human figure. Hannaford’s fascination with space, energy and movement, as well as with the power of the drawn line, is evident in this exhibition. Working predominantly in oil on canvas, she uses thin glazes of paint in a way reminiscent of water colour, sometimes adding sand or grit and occasionally found objects. For her works on unprimed linens she uses a variety of mixed media, including bleach. The scale of the work included in this exhibition ranges from large canvases, to tiny postcard drawings and watercolours.
More recently, like Hockney, she has experimented digitally, using her iPhone as an extension of her painting practice. The iPhone art included in this show was created during a live performance by David Gordon at St Martin-in-the-Fields and later displayed as an installation in concert with his jazz trio at London’s Kings Place. Hannaford’s idea and method of presenting these images is original.
Together Hannaford and Gordon will host an evening musical event at the gallery to celebrate and describe their joint work. Two original compositions by Gordon, in response to Hannaford’s art, can also be heard via headphones throughout the course of the exhibition.
Hannaford lives and works locally, having recently moved her studio from Peckham. She has worked full time as an artist since the late nineties after abandoning two earlier careers to paint – as City lawyer and state registered art therapist. Her work has been collected and exhibited widely, including at London’s Royal Academy of Arts, Royal College of Art and leading London commercial galleries, and can be viewed at www.elizabethhannaford.com.
Hannaford’s first show, “The Moving Figure”, was at The Square Gallery, Pond Square, Highgate in 1991, while she was still a lawyer. We are delighted to see her back in Highgate for this evocative, intriguing and strong show.
The exhibition includes collaborative work with musician DAVID GORDON. “I have played with many great musicians, but tonight I have shared the stage with one of England’s finest musicians and composers, David Gordon”. (Christopher Warren-Green, Music Director/Conductor London Chamber Orchestra )
Open Tuesday-Friday 13:00-17:00, Saturday 11:00-16:00; Sunday 11:00-17:00. Closed Monday.

Together Hannaford and Gordon will host an evening musical event at the gallery to celebrate and describe their joint work. Two original compositions by Gordon, in response to Hannaford’s art, can also be heard via headphones throughout the course of the exhibition.
Hannaford lives and works locally, having recently moved her studio from Peckham. She has worked full time as an artist since the late nineties after abandoning two earlier careers to paint – as City lawyer and state registered art therapist. Her work has been collected and exhibited widely, including at London’s Royal Academy of Arts, Royal College of Art and leading London commercial galleries, and can be viewed at www.elizabethhannaford.com.
Hannaford’s first show, “The Moving Figure”, was at The Square Gallery, Pond Square, Highgate in 1991, while she was still a lawyer. We are delighted to see her back in Highgate for this evocative, intriguing and strong show.
The exhibition includes collaborative work with musician DAVID GORDON. “I have played with many great musicians, but tonight I have shared the stage with one of England’s finest musicians and composers, David Gordon”. (Christopher Warren-Green, Music Director/Conductor London Chamber Orchestra )

Elizabeth Hannaford: Less Abstract, More Real – landscapes, soundscapes and more …
11-24 September 2015
including on Friday 18 September at 7.00pm: a Gallery Talk with Music to celebrate the joint venture between artist Elizabeth Hannaford and classical and jazz musician David Gordon. (Admission £5 on the door.)
Elizabeth Hannaford’s work is a celebration of the worlds of nature and music. “Her vision is underpinned by intuitive mark-making, a sense of drawing in paint, rich subconscious evocations of sound and place, and a sensuous, exquisite quality of surface.” (Clare Cooper, Director, Art First, London W1).
She does not set out to create abstract works. The abstraction is a by-product of trying to find marks and colours which communicate more than the visual experience, particularly in her response to music. Her raw, untouched landscapes are becoming ‘less abstract, more real’, with a new organic figuration emerging from the way she handles paint. After a recent road trip to Namibia, animals have been making an appearance.
The work is underpinned by many years of drawing the moving human figure. Hannaford’s fascination with space, energy and movement, as well as with the power of the drawn line, is evident in this exhibition. Working predominantly in oil on canvas, she uses thin glazes of paint in a way reminiscent of water colour, sometimes adding sand or grit and occasionally found objects. For her works on unprimed linens she uses a variety of mixed media, including bleach. The scale of the work included in this exhibition ranges from large canvases, to tiny postcard drawings and watercolours.
More recently, like Hockney, she has experimented digitally, using her iPhone as an extension of her painting practice. The iPhone art included in this show was created during a live performance by David Gordon at St Martin-in-the-Fields and later displayed as an installation in concert with his jazz trio at London’s Kings Place.

The Dresden Project – Indelible Marks is an ongoing reflection on the artist’s maternal family. Intended to further understanding and reconciliation, the project explores a rich personal archive, contemporary historical documentation, and the artist’s own experience, through the fertile medium of print. The exhibition was shown earlier this year in Dresden as part of the 70th commemoration of the bombing of the city by the Allies.
Printed using photolithographs over monoprint, complex collaged images of city, culture, and family hover above subtle painterly grounds. Initially they explore the narrative of the artist’s family from World War I in Eastern Prussia to their forced departure from Dresden in 1936, a process richly described by diarist Victor Klemperer. The project then turns to ‘the War in the Air’, the devastating effects of bombing, and its lead character Bomber Harris. It also considers some of the complexities of the heritage of the devastation and the prevalence of Neo Nazi activity in Dresden.
As the artist writes: ‘There is tragedy at the heart of my relationship to Dresden. The city that provided my mother and her parents with stability, prosperity and a remarkable cultural life from the early 1920’s, then repressed and excluded them, forced their departure in mid-1936 and was destroyed by the country that had offered them safe haven and a life free from persecution.
‘This work begins to repair my relationship with my complex heritage, with Dresden and with Germany. Having grown up in the heart of the German Jewish refugee community in North West London, I want this exhibition to recognise and emphasise the significance of individual stories, the importance of reconciliation and to prompt reflection on our attitude towards refugees.’
The exhibition will accompanied by an explanatory leaflet, and an outreach and education programme. A detailed text panel accompanies each image.
Monica Petzal will talk about her work in the gallery on:
Saturday 10th / Sunday 11th / Saturday 17th / Sunday 18th October at 2.30 pm.
The exhibition moves to the Herbert Museum in Coventry from 12th November to 27th February 2016, in conjunction with an installation by the artist for Coventry Cathedral to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Coventry.
Prints are available for purchase. For all details of the project, see www.monicapetzal.com

Having grown up in the heart of the German Jewish refugee community in North West London, I want this exhibition to recognise and emphasise the significance of individual stories, the importance of reconciliation and to prompt reflection on our attitude towards refugees.’
The exhibition will accompanied by an explanatory leaflet, and an outreach and education programme. A detailed text panel accompanies each image.
Monica Petzal will talk about her work in the gallery on:
Saturday 10th / Sunday 11th / Saturday 17th / Sunday 18th October at 2.30 pm.
The exhibition moves to the Herbert Museum in Coventry from 12th November to 27th February 2016, in conjunction with an installation by the artist for Coventry Cathedral to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Coventry.

The Dresden Project – Indelible Marks is an ongoing reflection on the artist’s maternal family. Intended to further understanding and reconciliation, the project explores a rich personal archive, contemporary historical documentation, and the artist’s own experience, through the fertile medium of print. The exhibition was shown earlier this year in Dresden as part of the 70th commemoration of the bombing of the city by the Allies.
Printed using photolithographs over monoprint, complex collaged images of city, culture, and family hover above subtle painterly grounds. Initially they explore the narrative of the artist’s family from World War I in Eastern Prussia to their forced departure from Dresden in 1936, a process richly described by diarist Victor Klemperer. The project then turns to ‘the War in the Air’, the devastating effects of bombing, and its lead character Bomber Harris. It also considers some of the complexities of the heritage of the devastation and the prevalence of Neo Nazi activity in Dresden.
As the artist writes: ‘There is tragedy at the heart of my relationship to Dresden. The city that provided my mother and her parents with stability, prosperity and a remarkable cultural life from the early 1920’s, then repressed and excluded them, forced their departure in mid-1936 and was destroyed by the country that had offered them safe haven and a life free from persecution.

We’re back from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the one year anniversary of Stitchin’ Fiction – The only new writing night where everything is decided on the night!
It’s on.
What happens when you take a handful of writers, add a dollop actors, whisk in a sprinkle of direction; and give them an hour to rehearse before doors open to the public?
Stitchin’ Fiction – The original new writing night where casting, directing, and performing takes place in the course of a single evening!
SF is a collaboration to provide creative minds a platform to workshop, and share ideas over new writing in a relaxed environment.
Roll a D6
6:30 onwards – Free Entry
How better to meet random people in a pub then with a session of Bullshit Scrabble (make up the words, and justify them to your new friends) or over a few rounds of Cards Against Humanity (“a game for truly horrible people”)? Or maybe you fancy trying out the best game to ever emerge from Germany? That’s right, the ridiculous Camel Up.
And if that doesn’t get you going, we also have other lesser-known gems like Rapidough (dictionary with play dough), Story Dice (an imagination stimulator like no other) or the sublime Love Letter (think Tinder without smartphones or shallow hook-ups). For the traditionalists amongst you we also have a number of Argos-based stalwarts including Chess, Draughts, Backgammon, Risk, Monopoly, Game Of Life, Operation, Hungry Hippos, Guess Who, and many more.
Organised by local nutjob David Harrison – him and his merry men have been running a regression session in the Dungeons & Dragons Speakeasy out back for the last couple of months. If you want in on that as well drop him a line on David@kililive.com.
