The Poetry of Earth is Never Dead – Yvonne Saville @ Lauderdale House
Jul 9 @ 11:00 am – 4:00 pm

Yvonne Saville has been painting for over 25 years and her work, now mainly in acrylics, has been exhibited widely in North London. She is inspired by the natural world, its beauty, its randomness, its continual change and transformation.

“I want to celebrate what I know, that essence of nature. My pictures are not about what I see, but what I feel. My tools are paint, fingers, brushes, sand for texture, oil for movement, wood for incising – but mainly the heart.”

Yvonne Saville’s exhibition The Poetry of Earth is Never Dead runs in Lauderdale House’s Upper Gallery 13 June – 9 July. Entry free of charge.

Opening Times:
Monday to Wednesday: 10am to 4pm

Tamara Jovandic: BODY AND SOUL

Classically trained painter Tamara Jovandic presents her new solo exhibition of expressive figurative and recent abstract paintings entitled BODY AND SOUL at Highgate Gallery 6-19 July 2018.

Jovandic’s work is influenced by the war, which tore through her home Sarajevo, Bosnia, former Yugoslavia, making her a refugee in 1992.  Rich, deep colour and broad, tempestuous brush strokes sweep across the canvas, inspired by the Italian Baroque and Caravaggio’s colour palette and use of chiaroscuro.  Working quickly from live models directly onto canvas, she describes the process of painting both as “a spiritual ritual” and “a physical battle”.  Often autobiographical, her figurative works explore the female form, solitary eroticism, sacrifice and the isolation of a life in exile.

Her abstract works are freed from narrative and represent mute poems about trees and stone, inspired by Kenwood and Highgate Woods.  On close viewing life figures are reflected in these mysterious landscapes.

The exhibition will feature “Passion” a prizewinning artwork from the London Biennale 2017 selected from the work of 120 artists across 40 nations.

Jovandic was born in Sarajevo.  In 1991 she gained a BA Hons with Distinction in Fine Art from The Academy of Art in Sarajevo.  Since moving to the UK in 1992 Jovandic has exhibited at the Mall Gallery, Cork St, The Royal College of Art and has taken part in over thirty group shows in the UK, Ireland, France and the USA as well as five solo exhibitions.

The Government Inspector @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Jul 11 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

presented by irrational theatre

written by Nikolai Gogol

 

As the lights flicker….it’s 1979 in Worsborough Dale.

A letter arrives…

…announcing the arrival of a government inspector, incognito, and ready to root out the town’s rampant corruption, which sends the crooked council chairman and his bureaucrats into a panicked frenzy.

A web of lies and bribery follows in this comic satire of a small town’s utter madness, shadiness and self delusion.

Nobody is free from the taint of ravenous self-interest, bureaucracy, buffoonery and more. Their actions are held up to scorn and ridicule in this hilarious yet moral tale.

Multi-talented actress, singer, author, director Annabel Leventon (Rocky Horror Picture Show, Rock Follies) will describe some key events in her career in theatre, film and TV. She has worked at a successful level for so long that the list of actors she has worked with reads like a who’s who of British theatre, including the likes of Peter O’Toole, George Cole, and Mark Rylance. Her talk will focus on the ups and downs of creativity and how she moved from being nominated for actress of the year for her role as the leading lady in Hair! to originating the idea for a hit TV series and then to setting a legal precedent protecting the work of all creative people.

Tamara Jovandic: BODY AND SOUL

Classically trained painter Tamara Jovandic presents her new solo exhibition of expressive figurative and recent abstract paintings entitled BODY AND SOUL at Highgate Gallery 6-19 July 2018.

Jovandic’s work is influenced by the war, which tore through her home Sarajevo, Bosnia, former Yugoslavia, making her a refugee in 1992.  Rich, deep colour and broad, tempestuous brush strokes sweep across the canvas, inspired by the Italian Baroque and Caravaggio’s colour palette and use of chiaroscuro.  Working quickly from live models directly onto canvas, she describes the process of painting both as “a spiritual ritual” and “a physical battle”.  Often autobiographical, her figurative works explore the female form, solitary eroticism, sacrifice and the isolation of a life in exile.

Her abstract works are freed from narrative and represent mute poems about trees and stone, inspired by Kenwood and Highgate Woods.  On close viewing life figures are reflected in these mysterious landscapes.

The exhibition will feature “Passion” a prizewinning artwork from the London Biennale 2017 selected from the work of 120 artists across 40 nations.

Jovandic was born in Sarajevo.  In 1991 she gained a BA Hons with Distinction in Fine Art from The Academy of Art in Sarajevo.  Since moving to the UK in 1992 Jovandic has exhibited at the Mall Gallery, Cork St, The Royal College of Art and has taken part in over thirty group shows in the UK, Ireland, France and the USA as well as five solo exhibitions.
