Night Fishing in Ugljan (which continues until 22 June) is a series of 38 paintings which arose out of a trip to the island of Uglijan, in Croatia, where Danny Israel watched the fishermen use powerful lights to attract the fish to the surface.
These paintings follow the stream of life, from microscopic forms to larger sea mammals, as they emerge from the deep. It seemed there was a symbolism to this event, which it might be possible to approach in paint. As it turned out this experience proved to be an infinite source of wonder at the drama beneath the surface.
These acrylic images are achieved by liberal use of the same medium, water, but Danny also wanted to create surfaces which in themselves are visually engaging, which arrest the attention, which detain the eye and which invoke the imagination.
Danny Israel studied Fine Art at the University of Wales (Cardiff). His first exhibition was at Reading Museum in 1972 and he then exhibited annually at The Beecroft Gallery in Southend on Sea, Essex between 1972 and 1980. He has work in various collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum Print Department and that of Elton John, and has exhibited occasionally over the intervening years.
After a successful auction in 2014 he returned to exhibiting with a sell-out exhibition at the Babylon Gallery in Ely, and more recently at Highgate Contemporary Art. This exhibition at HLSI is his third in the current series, and is much the largest.

Bodegón y Jazz: watercolour and oil paintings by Cay Schröder
Cay Schröder lives with his wife in Camden, London but works mainly from his studio in the Canary Islands where the quality of light gives a directness to his work both in watercolour and in oils.
Though by definition he is a representational artist who enjoys using the skills and techniques of the Old Masters, he is still very much a modern painter of today. When studying the immortals da Vinci, Rembrandt, van Dyck and Velasquez, Cay wants to know how their creative processes worked, their colour palettes and methods.
Cay began his love of watercolour when he was studying Interior Design at Chelsea. He loves the unpredictability of the medium and the challenge to control the paint for this very English art form. He is inspired by the work of, amongst others, John Sell Cotman and William Russell Flint and, more recently, Rowland Hilder and David Curtis. His early career in graphics, working in black and white ink and later gouache, helps with the technique of mixing pigments to work in oils.
Cay’s absolute favourite artist is John Singer Sargent who dabbled with Impressionism – but never joined the group. Sargent’s sticking to his own way of seeing and then painting gave Cay his own methodology of looking carefully until he can “see” his subject, only then starting to draw or paint. He is currently delighted and inspired by the photorealists Richard Estes and Ralph Goings.
“Art can certainly shock, challenge or even disturb but it can also be an antidote to stress, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere to enjoy. Visitors to my exhibition,” says Cay, “will find colourful still life, portraits of some of my musical heroes and maybe recognize some much loved landscapes. I hope to awaken a happy ‘feel good’ response of recognition and pleasure.”
Exhibition continues until 20 July. Highgate Gallery open Tue-Fri 1-5; Sat 11-4; Sun 11-5. Closed Mon.

He is inspired by the work of, amongst others, John Sell Cotman and William Russell Flint and, more recently, Rowland Hilder and David Curtis. His early career in graphics, working in black and white ink and later gouache, helps with the technique of mixing pigments to work in oils.
Cay’s absolute favourite artist is John Singer Sargent who dabbled with Impressionism – but never joined the group. Sargent’s sticking to his own way of seeing and then painting gave Cay his own methodology of looking carefully until he can “see” his subject, only then starting to draw or paint. He is currently delighted and inspired by the photorealists Richard Estes and Ralph Goings.
“Art can certainly shock, challenge or even disturb but it can also be an antidote to stress, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere to enjoy. Visitors to my exhibition,” says Cay, “will find colourful still life, portraits of some of my musical heroes and maybe recognize some much loved landscapes. I hope to awaken a happy ‘feel good’ response of recognition and pleasure.”
Exhibition continues until 20 July. Highgate Gallery open Tue-Fri 1-5; Sat 11-4; Sun 11-5. Closed Mon.
the rose and the bulbul
a promenade performance
TWO PERFORMANCES AT MIDDAY AND 3PM
Coke Studio artist Arieb Azhar joins dancers and musicians to celebrate the unity amidst diversity expressed through the symbols of the rose and the bulbul (nightingale). The performance will take place on the Tea Lawn at Lauderdale House and Waterlow Park. The Rose and the Bulbul is co-produced by Kadam/Pulse and Luton Culture with the support of Grants for the Arts, Amal and Cockayne and London Communities Foundation.
The Rose and the Bulbul is a family-friendly performance with professional and community-based performers that taps into the love affair that humans have with creating gardens. It will be dedicated to the memory of MP Jo Cox: “We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us”.
The performance of dance, music and spoken word was inspired by the ideas that shaped the gardens at Stockwood Park, Luton. The title ‘Rose and Bulbul’ is derived from the significance of the rose as the symbol of beauty and perfection both in Persian literature and equally important in the English heritage as a Tudor emblem. The bulbul is the Indian equivalent of the nightingale which represents the woods and wilderness beyond the cultivated garden.
Storytellers, dancers and musicians will create an experience to bring alive the space of the garden and the audience will meet the Rose and the Bulbul, who come truly to understand their present only through a journey into each other’s past. Statues become dancers as the audiences are led in succession through a Mughal garden, a European walled garden and finally into open grounds, celebrating the synthesis of Islamic, Christian, Pagan and Hindu traditions. The Rose and the Bulbul is above all a story of love and acceptance.
The performance brings together the talent of outstanding young actor-writer Kamal Kaan (‘While the Water Weeps Next to the Water’, BBC Radio ‘Headline Ballads’ 2016); director Sita Thomas (Shakespearean scholar, Milkshake presenter and Bollywood dancer) and the popular choreographer-dancer Kali Chandrasegaram.
