Night Fishing In Ugljan – New Paintings by DANNY ISRAEL @ Highgate Gallery
Jun 22 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

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.

Highgate Gallery open Tuesday-Friday 13:00-17:00

Will Todd Mass in Blue @ St. Michael's Church
Jul 1 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
When the first recording of   Mass in Blue was released in 2006, MusicWeb International ended its review thus: “Choral singers and directors on the lookout for enriching their choir’s choice should get this, as should anyone who appreciates a well-themed piece of sung music that brings off the balance between accessibility and sustained creative delight.” Premièred in 2003,   Mass in Blue, scored for soprano solo, choir, piano, bass and drum kit, has gone on to receive performances throughout the world.
Perhaps this will happen to   Two or Three Angels too? To complement the Mass, Highgate Choral Society has commissioned an exciting new work for soprano and double choir from “one of the brightest young talents to emerge in recent years”, Russell Hepplewhite (Evening Standard Top 1000 most influential Londoners). Consisting of 12 movements,   Two or Three Angels sets to music poetry by William Blake, Rabindranath Tagore, Emily Dickinson, W B Yeats, Stephen Crane, James Henry Leigh Hunt, John Keats and Henry van Dyke. 1 July 2017 will be its first performance.
Pre-concert conversation with Russell Hepplewhite at 6.20pm.

Mondays @ the Mills: The geography of wine

3 July 2017

The geography of wine

Phil Harrison, Highgate School
It is often remarked that wine is ‘geography in a bottle’ – that it is a fundamental reflection of the place in which it is grown. This discussion will examine some of the factors that influence global viticulture, concentrating on the great wine regions of France and Spain as well as those in the New World. There will be consideration of soils, climate and topography, as well as that quintessentially French concept of terroir.

Talks take place on Mondays at 7pm in the AV Room in the Mills Centre. Refreshments, including wine, are available from 6.30 pm and afterwards.

Bodegón y Jazz: watercolour and oil paintings by Cay Schröder @ Highgate Gallery

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.
