Liz has created a collection of paintings of plants in close detail: uprooted, revealing their complex structures and individual history, and full of visual delight. Although not intended as a scientific study, the paintings bring us to a new relationship with nature.
Liz Miranda’s life as an artist has an international flavour. She was born in Iran, studied in England and France, worked, taught and exhibited, mainly in Brazil, and then returned to England to paint, etch, bring up a family and teach. She continues to teach, concentrating on painting from direct observation. In 2010 Liz exhibited at the Highgate Gallery and in this show her work is, as always, in oil on canvas or wood.
For the past few years Liz has been painting plants in close detail. She likes to work with the whole shape of each plant but also wants to focus on its component parts – roots, stalks, seed-heads, pods, the changes of colour, the texture and thickness of stem with the position on it of the leaves and nodes.
However realistic, her works are not illustrations. Liz wants them to be true but accuracy is not the goal: they are paintings. Painting is the second stage of freezing the potential development of these natural forms; though they were already denied growth when uprooted from the soil.
Her subjects range from modest London weeds to exotic plants, flowers, trees and grasses of the tropics. All are closely observed to reveal their individual integrity.

We are delighted to welcome Patrick Cullen, who has just won a prize at this year’s prestigious Lynn Painter-Stainers Competition, back to Highgate Gallery. This wide ranging exhibition is inspired by his travels in India, Italy and Transylvania, and also includes portraits, flower studies and paintings of the female nude.
Patrick uses oils and pastels to create an intense and personal response to his subject matter. His work derives from close observation of and interaction with nature, which gives it freshness and vitality. Whether he is concerned with a Tuscan view or an Indian street market scene, the colour, heat and atmosphere are all vividly conveyed. As artist Ken Howard, R.A. has put it, Patrick’s work “speaks directly to us .… He has the impressionist’s ability to fix the mood of a moment,… also his work has that quality which is essential to all great art, the balance between form and content.”
Patrick trained at St Martin’s and Camberwell art schools in the 1970s and is the recipient of many prizes in addition to the recent Lynn Painter-Stainers award, including the Watercolour Prize at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and prizes from the Pastel Society, the Royal Watercolour Society and the New English Art Club, of which he is a member. His paintings are in many collections including the Royal Academy and Sheffield City Art Gallery.
When not travelling, Patrick lives in Stroud Green, and is also known for his paintings of London allotment views.

Tuesday 12 May 7.30 Merry Isla Mug Quiz, Highgate Society vs HLSI at 11 South Grove
France 1958, 88 mins. Dir. Louis Malle
From the age of five, in her grandmother’s garden, Annie Bromham has loved Nature. Excited by the blaze of colours in the beautiful flowers, she wanted them to belong to her. At the same time Annie discovered she could draw and began to capture these flowers in art. She learned how to discover and create new colours, and to this day colours still speak to her.
Annie finds colour everywhere: in the garden, the forest, on the high street, while the wonder of the rainbow fills her imagination with joy and pure delight. When she paints or sculpts she uses her whole body, her mind and feelings – everything that she is, in order to “catch a glimpse of the emotion of a moment.” (Willem de Kooning).
Highgate Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of Annie Bromham’s recent work, which honours the mystery of movement in Nature: “I watch Nature budding, day by day noting the growth, and feeling the stretching movement of the stems and petals as they grow towards the light”.
Nature does not stand still; it is always either becoming more, and flourishing; or else decreasing, and dying. The whole of creation reproduces itself according to the seasons of the year. No two flowers are identical; each is unique. Everything is in a state of flux.
“Whenever I pick up my paint brush or chisel, I am filled with awe for the life already lived by the tree, or the canvas that will hold my colours as I create new life.” Annie’s imaginative use of colour offers endless possibilities. “It is only when I pick up my paint brush that I can honour that glimpse of mystery which is within me. I want to hear, see and feel the life that is in me as I surrender to the creative moment.” Each moment of seeing, listening, touching and tasting reveals the mystery of life. With Henry Moore Annie also believes that “to be an artist is to believe in life.”

“Whenever I pick up my paint brush or chisel, I am filled with awe for the life already lived by the tree, or the canvas that will hold my colours as I create new life.” Annie’s imaginative use of colour offers endless possibilities. “It is only when I pick up my paint brush that I can honour that glimpse of mystery which is within me. I want to hear, see and feel the life that is in me as I surrender to the creative moment.” Each moment of seeing, listening, touching and tasting reveals the mystery of life. With Henry Moore Annie also believes that “to be an artist is to believe in life.”
Open Tuesday-Friday 13:00-17:00; Saturday 11:00-16:00; Sunday 11:00-17:00. Closed Monday.
From the age of five, in her grandmother’s garden, Annie Bromham has loved Nature. Excited by the blaze of colours in the beautiful flowers, she wanted them to belong to her. At the same time Annie discovered she could draw and began to capture these flowers in art. She learned how to discover and create new colours, and to this day colours still speak to her.
Annie finds colour everywhere: in the garden, the forest, on the high street, while the wonder of the rainbow fills her imagination with joy and pure delight. When she paints or sculpts she uses her whole body, her mind and feelings – everything that she is, in order to “catch a glimpse of the emotion of a moment.” (Willem de Kooning).

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.

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.

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.
