London premiere
A rare chance to see the internationally acclaimed Circolombia in a more intimate setting. Vest-igios fuses stunning physical performance with film to create a remarkable visual journey infused with extravagant visions, terrifying acrobatics and unthinkable magic moments.
In 2020 and 2021, when waves of pandemic locked down London and elsewhere, the Heath became a place of escape and refuge for many. Rachael Weitzman’s exhibition of paintings made during this period is a celebration of the Heath and the ancient trees that live there.
Rachael describes these paintings as ‘portraits’ of trees, the paint forming a lattice of trunks and branches, dappled with light or silhouetted against the sky – characterful and strange, rather than pretty or picturesque. Her inspiration comes from Japanese prints as well as 20thCentury abstraction; she uses different elements to produce a particular style that conveys the solidity, scale and unique ‘personality’ of each tree.
When she first visited the Heath she was amazed at its size, losing her bearings and loving the feeling of being in an endless wilderness. As she says, “There is something really magical about this area of woodland. It’s so unusual, even outside London, to find such ancient trees in non-agricultural land. The people who manage it have done such a fantastic job of maintaining it in an unspoilt way”.
It is now 150 years since an Act of Parliament saved the Heath from development, after a long campaign by activists to save it. In recognition of the history of the area, its beauty and the way in which it has been of such solace to so many in recent times, ten per cent of sales from this show are being donated to Heath Hands, a charity which organises volunteers to maintain, conserve and educate people about the Heath.
Rachael Weitzman has lived in North London for most of her life. She went to Chelsea College of Art and Design in 1992 and taught there for a number of years while painting and exhibiting at various galleries and art spaces in London.

Introducing Brain Fools, a new young Jacksons Lane-supported circus company.

Brain Fools is Finn & Toffy, recent graduates of National Centre for Circus Arts

For their next exhibition at Highgate Gallery, ‘The Northern Line’, East Finchley Open Artists are creating images that relate to a Northern Line station of their choice. Each work will respond to the chosen station’s name, and artists have already selected a wide range of stations for inspiration including Colliers Wood, Oval, Angel and High Barnet.
Expect some interesting interpretations and commentary. The exhibition will comprise an exciting variety of wall-hung work including paintings, pastels, prints ceramics, glass, textiles and automata.
All artists have prepared new works especially for the exhibition. Among them Pat Marvell has created an exciting glass piece titled ‘White Hot Embers in Colliers Wood’ which was originally the site of charcoal-making kilns. Laura Fishman has made an abstract acrylic painting, ‘Golders Green, Green to Gold’, exploring the richness of greens and yellows mingling with swirls of red which hint at the richness of the foliage of the nearby Golders Green Park. Meanwhile Cathy Burkinshaw has chosen Woodside Park as one of her inspirations. She has many fond memories of the station: “It was so pretty when we first moved to Woodside Park, surrounded by trees with a really large tree in the forecourt.” How times have changed.
Founded in 2004, East Finchley Open Artists is a group of artists and craftspeople – including painters, printers, photographers, ceramicists, glass makers, jewellers, sculptors, textile artists and basket makers – ranging from those who are starting out in their creative careers to well-established professional artists and lecturers.
Every summer the EFOA hosts Open House weekends, as well as other public events throughout the year.

Exhibition continues until 25 November. Highgate Gallery open Tues-Fri 1-5pm, Sat 11am-4pm, Sun 11am-5pm; closed Mon.
