The predictability of Chaos and the uncertainty of Order are the focus for this dynamic and colourful exhibition of paintings and drawings at Highgate Gallery from May 18th until May 31st.
Order and Chaos philosophies have peppered religious and scientific history for millennia with ideas formed around the ‘Chaos Theory’ coming to the fore in the middle of last century. These are the subject matter for playful new works, many executed in low relief which adds to the visual uncertainty – a change in the angle of view reveals aspects that cannot be seen from elsewhere.
Slade trained Stephen Brooks has often played with ideas and questions that have created ideological dilemmas. This was also the case in a previous exhibition, ‘Ptolemy’s Mythtake’ at Highgate Gallery in 2008.

Exhibition continues until 31 May.
Steve Brooks trained in Fine Art at the Harris College of Art, Preston, and the Slade School of Fine Art UCL.
For several years he was the Studio Assistant to Richard Hamilton, a founder of the British Pop Art Movement, who lived in Highgate before moving to Oxfordshire,
Alongside Steve’s fine art career he taught Design and Drawing in Oxfordshire, Bournemouth and London whilst also being involved in a graphic design business with his wife.
Having lived and worked in various parts of the UK including The Orkney Isles, Dorset, London, Oxfordshire and Wales, he is now based in Herefordshire.
He has held one man shows in London, the Home Counties and Herefordshire, and was chosen to represent Herefordshire as the Three Choirs Festival Artist in 2006. His paintings and drawings are in collections in the UK, Europe and overseas.
Steve’s connection with Highgate goes back to the 70s where he lived and worked. He had two one man shows at the Highgate Society building, one being an exhibition of Drawings and Etchings of Highgate Cemetery in an effort to raise awareness and funds for the then neglected site.
Chaos2 is his third Exhibition at Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution’s Highgate Gallery.

Linda and John Jenkins: THRESHOLDS. 8-24 June 2018
Nature forms the basis of both Linda’s and John’s work, but their approach in style and medium is very different, resulting in a varied and evocative show.
Linda’s work explores her fascination with surfaces, textures and colours and the responses, both emotional and psychological, that these elements can provoke. She uses collage, fabrics and stitch as well as lino and mono-printing, collagraph, drawing and painting, manipulating her materials to experiment and reveal in an intuitive way. In this process she is also exploring the connections between our exterior and interior worlds.
Inspiration is drawn from the land and seascapes of Australia, rock formations in Norway, beaches in Cornwall, and woods and lakes closer to home. Linda is aiming to evoke a memory of a place and time experienced, as well as opening the doors to new – as yet unexplored – vistas.
John’s photographic work is inspired by landscape and especially trees which he feels are imbued with both spiritual and visual qualities. Working intuitively when editing his photographs he is searching for structures, patterns and textures that reimagine the components of the landscape into new visual experiences.
He is also fascinated by the concept of symmetry which is found in so many forms of art and nature. He endeavours to create work that has a meditative quality and allows the viewer the opportunity to discover hidden worlds. His artworks are constructed as photo collages as their composition is a result of a process of experimentation both with scale and the choice of paper to enhance the image.
All work in the exhibition is for sale.

Blue MoonTamara 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.

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.
