We are delighted to welcome Patrick Cullen, who has just won a prize at this year’s prestigious Lynn Painter-Stainers Competition, back to Highgate Gallery. This wide ranging exhibition is inspired by his travels in India, Italy and Transylvania, and also includes portraits, flower studies and paintings of the female nude.
Patrick uses oils and pastels to create an intense and personal response to his subject matter. His work derives from close observation of and interaction with nature, which gives it freshness and vitality. Whether he is concerned with a Tuscan view or an Indian street market scene, the colour, heat and atmosphere are all vividly conveyed. As artist Ken Howard, R.A. has put it, Patrick’s work “speaks directly to us .… He has the impressionist’s ability to fix the mood of a moment,… also his work has that quality which is essential to all great art, the balance between form and content.”
Patrick trained at St Martin’s and Camberwell art schools in the 1970s and is the recipient of many prizes in addition to the recent Lynn Painter-Stainers award, including the Watercolour Prize at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and prizes from the Pastel Society, the Royal Watercolour Society and the New English Art Club, of which he is a member. His paintings are in many collections including the Royal Academy and Sheffield City Art Gallery.
When not travelling, Patrick lives in Stroud Green, and is also known for his paintings of London allotment views.

Following on from the telephone boxes renovation last year, we have organised a clean-up morning for the streets around the immediate centre of Highgate. A bit late for a full Spring clean, our aim for this first event is to clean up some of the irritating things we all see that can be easily remedied: green moss on road signs, small bits of graffiti, corners where litter builds up. Where a job needs doing but demands greater expertise like a broken or bent sign or railings we would list these fully to let Camden Council or Haringey Council know this as a Highgate Society request. If you would like to take part we would be delighted to see you. All ages and abilities are welcome. Old clothes are needed but we will provide plastic gloves and all necessary clearing materials, including rags and buckets.
Suggestions for specific clean up points, large or small, also welcomed! It would be particularly helpful if you would indicate if you intend to help so we can have an idea of numbers and materials needed.”
From the age of five, in her grandmother’s garden, Annie Bromham has loved Nature. Excited by the blaze of colours in the beautiful flowers, she wanted them to belong to her. At the same time Annie discovered she could draw and began to capture these flowers in art. She learned how to discover and create new colours, and to this day colours still speak to her.
Annie finds colour everywhere: in the garden, the forest, on the high street, while the wonder of the rainbow fills her imagination with joy and pure delight. When she paints or sculpts she uses her whole body, her mind and feelings – everything that she is, in order to “catch a glimpse of the emotion of a moment.” (Willem de Kooning).
Highgate Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of Annie Bromham’s recent work, which honours the mystery of movement in Nature: “I watch Nature budding, day by day noting the growth, and feeling the stretching movement of the stems and petals as they grow towards the light”.
Nature does not stand still; it is always either becoming more, and flourishing; or else decreasing, and dying. The whole of creation reproduces itself according to the seasons of the year. No two flowers are identical; each is unique. Everything is in a state of flux.
“Whenever I pick up my paint brush or chisel, I am filled with awe for the life already lived by the tree, or the canvas that will hold my colours as I create new life.” Annie’s imaginative use of colour offers endless possibilities. “It is only when I pick up my paint brush that I can honour that glimpse of mystery which is within me. I want to hear, see and feel the life that is in me as I surrender to the creative moment.” Each moment of seeing, listening, touching and tasting reveals the mystery of life. With Henry Moore Annie also believes that “to be an artist is to believe in life.”
Open Tuesday-Friday 13:00-17:00; Saturday 11:00-16:00; Sunday 11:00-17:00. Closed Monday.
