The spirit of rebellion lives on in the anarchic figurative and abstract oil on canvas works of Philip Diggle. In his own words ‘art that is political, erotic, abstract, exposed and does something other than sit and entertain in a museum. I am for an art that embroils itself with every day and comes out on top’.
Philip Diggle: Bringing It All Back Home
9-22 February 2024
Exhibition times:
Wed – Fri: 13.00 – 17.00
Saturday: 11.00 – 16.00
Sunday 11.00 – 17.00
Bringing It All Back Home references Bob Dylan and the voice of poetry, protest and politics that
characterised a period of artistic blossoming in New York and elsewhere in the 1960’s, including Diggle’s
own home town of Manchester where he was involved in the punk scene of the 1970’s and 1980’s.
The spirit of rebellion lives on in this anarchic show of figurative and abstract work. Diggle is, in his own
words, “…for an art that is political, erotic, abstract, exposed – and does something other than sit and entertain
…in a museum. I am for an art that embroils itself with everyday and comes out on top”.
Diggle references Sartre, Baudelaire and Wittgenstein: “…climbing Wittgenstein’s metaphorical ladder
of knowledge…I needed to jump from the it’s last rung – without a net or anything like argument – so
that the world could be correctly understood – painted and given some form of impression of penetrating
the essence of things.”
He cites the recent Soutine/Kossoff show at Hastings Contemporary as one which excited him. Many of his
own oil paintings have heavily encrusted and worked-on surfaces, “enlivened by a constant play of
oppositions, each an abstract drama of visual events, a material metaphor for the invisible dynamics of the
world it reflects” (Mel Gooding, art critic). Jackson Pollock is also a key influence, especially the large
New York canvases. Pollock’s phrase “I am nature” resonates in this show.
Philip Diggle has lived in Highgate for over 30 years and this is his 8th show at Highgate Gallery. He is a
regular contributor to the Royal Academy annual exhibition and has also exhibited in Berlin, Paris,
Barcelona and New York. His work is held in collections at Chase Manhattan Bank and the Rockefeller
Center in New York, at Caius College Cambridge and in many boardrooms and private collections.
There will be works on paper for sale as well as canvases.

Heckel’s Horse is the alias used by local artist Edgeworth Johnstone for a series of works based on collaborative paintings he made over the last ten years with Medway artist Billy Childish, 18 years his senior. Hence, Johnstone acting alone is Heckel’s Horse Jr. These beguiling works have their roots in primitive and symbolist art using colour and the language of dreams to great effect.
Open: Wednesday and Thursday: 13.00 – 17.00
