Jamaican Intuitives     13-26 October

This exhibition is a rare opportunity to see a unique Jamaican branch of contemporary art which was first acknowledged post-independence and which continues to flourish. There are no pretty beach scenes; no ‘tourist’ art. The work is challenging and powerful.

Until Jamaican Independence in 1962, the larger part of Jamaica’s art establishment took only European and North American style art seriously. This was a legacy of colonialism. With Independence, the importance of the arts and of acknowledging and exhibiting Jamaican artists was recognised in helping to shape a national cultural identity.

It was the late Dr David Boxer, Director and Chief Curator of the National Gallery of Jamaica for over 35 years, who coined the word ‘Intuitive’ – now an official art term. He defined the context in which these remarkable artists’ accomplishments should be considered:

‘These artists paint and sculpt intuitively. They are not guided by fashion. Their vision is pure and sincere, untarnished by art theories and philosophies, principles and movements. They are, for the most part self-taught…. Their visions (and many of them are true visionaries) as released through paint or wood, are expressions of their individual relationships with the world around them – and the worlds within.’

All five artists in this show were born and (have) spent their lives in Jamaica. Their work has been part of major exhibitions at the National Gallery of Jamaica, and has been shown across the Caribbean, the US and Europe.

  • Christopher Harris was born in 1974. He was one of the fourteen selected exhibitors in the prestigious Young Talent V Competition at the National Gallery of Jamaica in 2010. Encouraged to draw from an early age by his father, a farmer and a portraitist, Christopher’s work connects to his Ashanti forefathers.
  • Kingsley Thomas was born in 1941. He worked in Kingston as a journalist for the now closed Jamaica Daily News before moving back home to rural Portland. A number of his lyrical paintings and sculptures refer to stories he covered as a journalist.
  • Leonard Daley 1930 – 2006. Partly surreal, partly realist, Daley’s images tap into Jamaica’s collective consciousness and history. In 1999, at the opening of Daley’s one-man show at the University of the West Indies, Dr David Boxer declared him to be ‘one of the truly great natural painters of the century.’ Daley was awarded the prestigious Bronze Musgrave Medal in 2002.
  • Evadney Cruickshank, born c1950. Evadney started painting after observing her then partner, the artist Sylvester Woods, at work. Her narrative paintings record daily life in her rural community – Pocomania services (an African-based religion), street dances, clearing up after hurricane damage. Her dry sense of humour infuses her work.
  • Birth ‘Ras Dizzy’ Livingstone c1932 – 2008. Ras Dizzy first came to public attention in the 1960s as a Rastafarian poet/philosopher selling his writings on the University of the West Indies campus. A remarkable colourist, he portrayed himself in his paintings as a prize-winning boxer, a judge, a horse race jockey. A poetic insight was written on the reverse of each work.

Opening Party on Sunday 15th October 2-5 pm featuring the Koromanti Mento Band. Mento is Jamaica’s folk music and the precursor to ska and reggae. The High Commissioner, His Excellency Mr Seth George Ramocan, will be guest of honour. Jamaican Intuitives is part of the official Jamaica55 celebrations.

Exhibition continues until 26 October.

Highgate Gallery open Tue-Fri 1-5; Sat 11-4; Sun 11-5. Closed Mon.

jazz in the house

Georgia Mancio (vocals), Guillermo Rozenthuler (vocals / guitar), Arnie Somogyi (bass), Dave Ohm (drums)

The multi lingual singer Georgia Mancio has risen through a veritable forest of singers to become one of the UK’s most subtle and impressive artists whether performing classic standards or songs from Italy, Spain and Portugal.  Originally from Argentina, Guillermo has been described by Mark Murphy as “someone who rocked me with his amazing swinging versatility” For Georgia, who presented her co-written Songbook album with the legendary pianist Alan Broadbent all over Europe last Spring, this will be a contrast in style with the music of Cuba, Brazil and Chile to banish those early winter blues.  Don’t miss this, our London Jazz Festival show.

 

The Lauderdale House Cafe will be open from 6pm serving sausage rolls, frittata, cheese tarts, cakes and other light snacks along with a selection of teas, Illy coffee, wines, beers, including Peroni, Camden Pale Ale, London Pride, Aspall Cyder and Luscombe organic soft drinks.

The group works in a variety of printmaking media including: etching, drypoint, mono print, collagraphy, solar plate, photo/transfer etching and screenprint.

The group will exhibit their work, and their ways of practice, to create a lively and engaging show in the Gallery at HLSI.

Drop-in Printmaking on Saturday 25th November, 2-4pm.
Members of the public are invited to create their own prints fitting with the title “Open & Closed Spaces”. Places are free but are offered on a first-come basis. Participants should bring their own protective clothing but all other materials are provided.

nocturne – the romantic life of frederic chopin

HIGHGATEHASHEART is delighted to announce a fundraising concert, “Chopard & Champagne” on Sunday 19th November in support of vital refugee causes.

“Nocturne – The Romantic Life of Frederic Chopin is an evening of music and drama conceived by the internationally renowned concert pianist Lucy Parhamwith narrations by the celebrated actors Henry Goodman and Juliet Stevenson(a co-founder of Highgate Has Heart and local resident). The programme of words and music has been scripted and adapted from letters and diaries by Parham, chronicling the romantic life of one the greatest and most popular composers for solo piano – Frédéric Chopin. The narrative follows his turbulent relationship with the controversial literary figure George Sand, their time together in Majorca, his fragile health and his ultimate demise in poverty in Paris at the age of 39. The readings, with Frederic Chopin narrated by Goodman and George Sand by Stevenson, are interspersed with some of his most loved and poignant compositions played by Parham in the evocative setting of Lauderdale House.

Tickets includes drinks reception and concert performance.

Nov 21 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Meditative Walk on the Heath, by Aimee Birnbaum

PRINTMAKERS INC.     OPEN & CLOSED SPACES     an exhibition of Original Prints and their processes

“Open & Closed Spaces” refers to the breadth of the locality – the area of almost rural calm within a city – which is the view from Highgate so enjoyed by Coleridge. The title also refers to the surfaces in printmaking of the plate or matrix when bitten, scraped, burnished, painted, inked or wiped.

Printmakers Inc. was formed in 2010 with a pop-up shop in Woburn Place, supported by Camden Council. Since then this group has expanded and shown in a number of Affordable Art Fairs in Hampstead.

The group works in a variety of printmaking media including: etching, drypoint, mono print, collagraphy, solar plate, photo/transfer etching and screenprint.

The group will exhibit their work, and their ways of practice, to create a lively and engaging show in the Gallery at HLSI.

Drop-in Printmaking on Saturday 25th November, 2-4pm.
Members of the public are invited to create their own prints fitting with the title “Open & Closed Spaces”. Places are free but are offered on a first-come basis. Participants should bring their own protective clothing but all other materials are provided.

Ivo Neame (piano), George Crowley (tenor saxophone), Tom Farmer (bass), Martin France (drums)

Pianist and composer Ivo Neame has now reached European star status with his work with piano trio Phronesis and with Norwegian superstar saxophonist Marius Neset. A considerable leap up from those Kentish Town Loop Collective sessions of a few years ago. Having heard his own Quartet at this year’s Swanage Festival, where he delighted a full church venue of typical elderly mainstream jazz fans with his innovative but beautifully melodic and accessible music, we are fortunate to be able to attract such a busy musician to the House. If you think new wave Euro jazz is all about ice-cold intellectualism, come and have your prejudice confounded. At some points George Crowley almost sounds like one of those classic Texas tenors; there are real jazz roots in this music.
