Tina Leslie – London Dreams – 10-23 June 2022

These oil and mixed-media paintings from London-based artist Tina Leslie speak to each other in their contrasts, both in theme, between city and countryside, and in style, between representative and abstract.  The cityscapes capture atmospheric light and show familiar landmarks from unexpected vantage points, while the paintings in the Nature’s Threads series have a viewpoint that is up close, in the tangle of nature itself.

Jun 21 @ 7:30 pm – 10:15 pm

THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN returns to London this summer in a newly revised production starring Katie Ray (The MousetrapJoseph and the Amazing Technicolour DreamcoatThe Sound of Music) as Rachel Watson.

Based on the bestselling novel by Paula Hawkins and blockbuster DreamWorks film, this new stage adaption by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel tells the story of Rachel Watson, who longs for a different life, her only escape is the perfect couple she watches through the train window everyday, happy and in love, or so it appears. When Rachel learns that the woman she’s been secretly watching has suddenly disappeared, she finds herself as a witness and even a suspect in a thrilling mystery in which she will face bigger revelations than she could ever have anticipated.

 

 

Directed by Joseph Hodges,  with set design by Richard Cooper, lighting design by Seb Blaber, casting by Jay Gardner and produced by Gardner Hodges Entertainment.

Christina Eberhart – Do you hear the flowers sing? @ Highgate Gallery
Jul 1 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Christina Eberhart: Do you Hear the Flowers Sing?

1-14 July 2022

The title of Christina Eberhart’s exhibition ‘Do you hear the flowers sing?’ is a reference to the work of Anthropologist Natasha Myers, whose study of our interconnectedness with nature has inspired the artist.  Plants have an agency and a unique intelligence which needs to be acknowledged.

 ‘The recognition that plants are breathing us into being, that their exhaling is the possibility of our inhale’ – Natasha Myers

 The exhibition includes paintings, drawings, prints and cyanotypes.

The paintings are playful celebrations of colour and shape, and a sensory response to the exuberance found in plant life.  Christina Eberhart is exploring and experimenting with how to show nature in art.  She invents or paints from memory, then simplifies and refines the imagery, so that the paintings sit at the intersection between representation and abstraction. The intention is to provide a liminal space, with scope for the viewer to respond to them in their own personal way.

Plants and trees are an absolute necessity and integral to our lives and Christina explores and examines our relationship to them.  Recent science is making astonishing discoveries about the behaviour of plants: their ability to communicate and procreate while rooted to the spot is helped by their unique sensory faculties and strategic choices of colour, light and environment.

For the works on paper, Christina applies a range of methods and processes that lend themselves particularly well to responding and capturing different types of phenomena and natural elemental influences.  She works with plant dyes on textiles, and with an early photographic method called cyanotype.

The artist finds cyanotypes endlessly fascinating because the outcome depends directly on light and water.  She will be showing several in the exhibition, and offering a workshop on the subject during the show for those who are interested in making their own.

Included in the exhibition is a series of paintings and drawings depicting crows and ravens, which add an element of ancient naturistic symbolism to the show.  In the world of mythology and augury there are countless interpretations pertaining to these clever birds, from foretelling death and renewal to a change in circumstances.  Hence they are apt symbols for the challenging times we live in.

Christina Eberhart is an artist living and working in London. She trained at Central St. Martins (2001) and her work has been included in numerous shows in London and abroad and is enjoyed by private collectors.

Drop-in Cyanotype workshop Sunday 10 July during Gallery opening hours.

Jul 12 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

The class is suitable for beginners and is friendly and inclusive. Style is Hatha yoga with various influences – gentle, but still delivering strength and flexibility.   Come and try a class to enhance your sense of wellbeing, release stress and tension and to experience deep relaxation. Mats provided, free parking (for now, but check signs!) no need to book – just turn up. The class is in the beautiful church – it’s set back a bit and has big blue doors. The class is mixed level/mixed ability/mixed age. I am a registered BWY teacher and fully insured. For more info about me/my yoga, have a look at my website
