EVELYN KORN
Highgate Gallery
14-27 October 2016
There will be something to surprise and delight everyone in this powerful and original show.
Evelyn’s work draws inspiration from the patterns, shapes and colours of both the natural world and man-made environments, seeking out the unusual in the everyday, effectively conveying the vividness and vibrancy of life whatever the subject matter.
Cars piled up in an Edmonton scrap yard are as considered with as much originality as the hot beaches of Spain or the fields of Provence. Paintings of Evelyn’s local Southgate are striking in their powerful intensity, whilst the Dorset landscapes are quieter and more tranquil. Unusual juxtapositions add a surreal quality which elevates the mundane to the marvellous. She experiments with scale, offering a variety of canvases from the very large to the small and playful.
An active artist all her life, Evelyn studied at St Martin’s School of Art and at Middlesex University where she gained her B.Ed and BA honours degrees and post graduate diploma. Qualified as a teacher in secondary school Art and Ceramics, she taught in Enfield secondary schools whilst bringing up a young family.
Evelyn’s paintings, often in conjunction with her ceramics, have been exhibited in the Ben Uri gallery in London, in Lyme Regis, Middlesex University, Burgh House, Millfield House in Edmonton and at HLSI Members’ Exhibitions. This exciting exhibition focuses entirely on oil paintings on canvas, a medium she feels is most suitable for conveying vibrancy and depth of colour.
Gallery open Tuesday-Friday 1-5pm, Saturday 11am-4pm, Sunday 11am-5pm; closed Mondays.
Exhibition about modern Highgate homes, organised by Highgate Society Planning Committee, as part of celebrating 50 years of the HS. It is open from 3pm-7pm each weekday and 11am-4pm on weekends and runs from from 15th October till 30th October. NOTE: VENUE IS HIGHGATE SCHOOL MUSEUM, SOUTHWOOD LANE, N6 5EE and NOT at the MILLS CENTRE.

Highgate Gallery at the Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution is the perfect venue for hosting this wide-ranging multimedia collection of new artworks by members of the Printmakers Council. With a multitude of techniques on show, visitors will be offered the chance to see some of the very best printmaking in the UK today. ‘Loosely Bound’, as the title suggests, has given the artists an opportunity to respond to this rich theme.
On show will be artworks inspired by literature in all its forms – novels, plays, poetry and much more. Examples of new pieces include those by Invited Artist Liz Collini, whose beautifully printed lettering or word pieces have been commissioned by various corporate organisations and are also part of the V&A Museum collection. Other prints relate to illustration such as the mysterious works combining collage and print by Lynn Hatzius whose clients include Random House, Bloomsbury and Faber and Faber. Pages from handmade linocut artist books by Graham Smith are another highlight. The exhibition will feature many traditional print techniques including etching, lithography, silkscreen, linocut and woodblock plus new contemporary techniques such as photopolymer and computer-based artwork.
The Printmakers Council was established in 1965 with the primary aim of forming a ‘pressure group’ to promote and encourage printmaking, especially experimental and contemporary work. Eminent artist Michael Rothenstein, the first Chairman, set up the association with a committee comprising of Anthony Gross, Stanley Jones and other leading artist printmakers of the time. The PMC, a non-profit making organisation run by artists, has exhibited worldwide. It continues to emphasise education through lectures and demonstrations, to promote printmaking in all its forms and to support its members via newsletters and the website: www.printmakerscouncil.com

Would you like a bit of friendly help with your phone, laptop or tablet? Just head to the Highgate School Library for an afternoon of free, informal one-to-one computer familiarisation sessions over a nice cup of coffee. We do tea as well. And cake!
If you don’t yet possess any electronic gadgets, don’t worry, we do and we’d love you to come and play with them.
“This is so wonderful! It’s easy – when you know how! Thank you” says 75 year old Highgate Coffee & Computers friend, who has just worked out how to move all his pictures from his phone to his tablet.
If you want more info, give Stuart a call on 020 8347 2411 (quoting Highgate Coffee & Computers). You can also email us on highgatecoffeeandcomputers@gmail.com to tell us what you want to know more about.
Please note the volunteers at these sessions are pupils from the school, ranging in age from 11 to 18 years old. The School has a duty of care to these young people and would be very grateful if you could be mindful of maintaining appropriate interaction with them. Please consider issues such as your language, your expectations regarding the type of matter you raise with the pupils, and the sort of information that the pupils may see on your documents or particular webpages.
If you have any queries then please don’t hesitate to raise them with the members of staff at the session.
If you plan to come, it would be helpful to know, though it is not obligatory.
Warm regards
The Highgate Coffee & Computers volunteers
