A joint exhibition to mark the centenary of the birth of Sir Kyffin Williams KBE RA 1918-2006 at Highgate Gallery, Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution (HLSI) and Highgate School Museum 14 September – 7 October 2018
Landscape and portrait painter, draughtsman, lecturer, cartoonist and raconteur, Sir Kyffin Williams KBE RA is one of the most famous figures in Welsh art. Highgate Gallery@HLSI and Highgate School Museum are co-hosting Kyffin 100: Paper to Palette Knife 14 September – 7 October 2018, the largest ever retrospective of Kyffin’s work outside Wales. We are delighted to be celebrating the centenary of his birth here in Highgate where Kyffin spent so much of his adult life.
Kyffin 100: Paper to Palette Knife explores the variety of his technique. On display at Highgate Gallery will be rarely seen drawings, watercolours and linocuts on loan from the National Library of Wales at Aberystwyth, which form part of their acclaimed exhibition Kyffin 100: Behind the Frame (#kyffin100). There are “plein air” sketches, watercolours, oils of Hampstead Heath, St Joseph’s and Athlone House, portraits of local people as well as Welsh scenes, sketches from his European travels and studies from his expedition to paint the Welsh community in Patagonia. Highgate School Museum will be showing works kindly loaned by private individuals and items borrowed from the National Library of Wales and Oriel Ynys Môn alongside its own collection: portraits, including a charming picture of his Bisham Gardens landlady, Miss Josling, and scenes from Wales and abroad, many dating from Kyffin’s London years.
Kyffin was art master at Highgate School for nearly thirty years and he also taught evening classes at the HLSI in the very hall displaying this exhibition. Local artist and fellow Slade School of Art pupil, Rosa Branson MBE, remembers his frequent and encouraging visits to her studio and their shared passion for work: hours and hours each day committed to perfecting their techniques. Ex-Highgate School pupil Stephen Benson writes,“ I can picture him coming into the art school with that characteristic loping stride more suited to the Welsh hills than north London. He wore a long khaki checked sports jacket with huge drooping pockets, more accustomed I suspect to holding dead birds and other game… We didn’t appreciate how lucky we were to sit at the feet of such a distinguished artist…. At the end of term we were allowed to put aside our clumsy still lives and listen to him recite with an exaggerated Welsh accent the famous lines from Under Milk Wood.”
Kyffin studied at the Slade School of Art (temporarily housed in the Ashmolean/Ruskin School of Art in Oxford during the war) between 1941 and 1944. He was senior art master at Highgate School from 1944 to 1973. In 1968 he gained a Churchill Fellowship to study and paint the Welsh community in Patagonia, South America.
His first solo exhibition in 1948 was at the prestigious London based Colnaghi Gallery. Further exhibitions followed in galleries in England and Wales. From 1969 to 1976 and again from 1992 he was president of the Royal Cambrian Academy. In 1974 he became a Royal Academician. He was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of University College Swansea in 1989, University College Bangor in 1991 and University College of Wales in Aberystwyth in 1992. A dedicated Kyffin Williams Gallery was opened at Oriel Ynys Môn in his native Llangefni in 2008. He received an OBE in1982 for his contribution to the arts and was knighted in 1999. He published two autobiographies Across the Straits (1973) and A Wider Sky (1991). A lifetime of paintings was bequeathed to the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth, on his death in 2006.
Event: Friday 14th Sept 6-8.30pm: Reception to celebrate the opening of Kyffin 100: Paper to Palette Knife at Highgate Gallery, HLSI, 11, South Grove N6 6BS
Event: Friday 21st Sept 8pm: Lecture (doors open 7.30pm). Rian Evans, Guardian critic and author of Kyffin Williams: The Light and the Dark (2018) discusses the artist’s work. To book a place contact admin@hlsi.net or HLSI office 02083403340 or £5 entry on the door. Refreshments served.

The restoration of the ecology at the Model Boating Pond on Hampstead Heath
A Year at the Boat Pond is an exhibition of watercolours, acrylics and mixed media that documents the restoration of the ecology at the Model Boating Pond on Hampstead Heath in London following the rebuilding of its dam in 2015-16. The paintings record the aquatic and meadow planting taking root and growing through the seasons.
Journeying through the places that she is emotionally attached to, and looking at how they are all intimately linked by the changing global climate, Dee McLean’s paintings reflect how beautiful and precious our ecosystems are, exploring the relationship between our landscapes and ourselves.
She has written a book in conjunction with the exhibition which explores the geology and history of the Heath, the work done on the ponds and looking at the how the changing global climate has led to the changes in our weather patterns making this environmentally important work necessary. Dee will give you an opportunity to hear about the project in a talk on Saturday 13th and Saturday 20th at 2pm.
Dee studied Illustration at Harrow School of Art and went on to a career in Medical Illustration. She has also had several exhibitions of botanical paintings and drawings and taken on private commissions. Dee is now bringing her love of science and art back into painting, drawing and writing, and hopes that through her art she can remind us that we can all play a part in protecting our own environment.
Dee’s projects take her around the world, painting directly from the geology, flora and fauna she finds on her travels, looking to capture the ephemeral nature of our environment.
Following on from this show, Dee has an exhibition of her Gulf Coast paintings in Covington, Louisiana, USA in May 2019.
All Dee’s projects have a local charity attached to them. Heath Hands, who are the voluntary organisation on the Heath, will receive a donation from all sales of original paintings, the book, prints and cards from this project.

Are you thinking of buying a new car? Is now the time to think electric?
On 15thNovember the Highgate Society Sustainable Living Group will be hosting an informative evening on the subject of electric vehicles (EVs) Spaces are limited so please register on Event Brite here.
The UK government, in common with many other national governments has ruled that by 2040 there will be no more sales of new conventional petrol or diesel passenger vehicles. All major car manufacturers now have electric models, and EV registrations have soared from 3,500 in 2013 to 166,000 by August 2018. A surge in the number of charging points has accompanied the rise in vehicles – by August 2018 there were over 17,000 of them.
But there are so many questions if you are considering purchasing an electric vehicle. What are the ranges of the latest model – how many miles can you go on a full charge? How do I get a home charger installed? What if I don’t have off-street parking? And what about public charging – how long does it take to charge compared to filling up with petrol? Will an electric vehicle save money compared to a conventional car – what are the subsidies and incentives provided by national and local government and how does the cost of charging compare to the cost of petrol? We’ll be aiming to provide some useful answers and good sources of further information at our event on 15thNovember.
Our early discussions on this topic within the Highgate Society, and with others concerned about our local community have raised some concerns about the widespread uptake of electric vehicles. Will it lead to more people concreting over their front-gardens? What are the parking space implications? Are public charging points cluttering up our pavements? And how far do electric vehicles go in addressing concerns about air pollution, climate change and congestion?
James Lamond -of the EVExperience Centre will firstly tell you about the electric models on the market and about charging them
Siân Berry – Co-leader of the Green Party will talk about what the UK and London Governments are doing
Joe Baker – Low Carbon officer at Haringey Council will tell you about Haringey’s work to increase electric vehicle take up
There will be refreshments and a panel discussion of questions from the audience.
James Lamond will have his electric vehicle outside to show to people too.
The evening will be held at 10a South Grove from 7.00pm to 9.30pm and all are welcome.
We’d love to welcome you to our annual exhibition at Lauderdale House.
