Join us for an solo exhibition celebrating the artistic journey of Ewen Macaulay as he unveils his debut solo exhibition in London.
Ewen, a self-taught artist with a background in graphic design, brings forth a unique perspective shaped by twelve years of experience in the design industry. His preferred mediums, acrylics and acrylic inks, blend seamlessly on large hand-made canvases, capturing the essence of urban landscapes with a dynamic and passionate flair.
Drawing inspiration from the bustling cityscape of London, Ewen’s work mirrors the energy, vibrancy, and architectural richness that define the metropolis. Influenced by the renowned illustrator Ralph Steadman, his creations resonate with a natural flow and movement.
Experience the captivating world of Urban Scenes & Skylines by Ewen Macauley at the Avison Gallery, located at 49 Highgate High Street, London N6 5JX.
The exhibition runs from 18th to 31st May 2024, offering ample opportunities to explore Ewen’s compelling artwork.

Wood engraver’s debut solo exhibition contemplates historic Oxford and Highgate bathing places.
The North Wall Arts Centre and Highgate Gallery announce the forthcoming exhibition Parson’s Pleasure and the Ponds – the debut solo show of printmaker Duncan Montgomery. Travelling between Oxford and Highgate, the exhibition presents a new series of wood engravings alongside a background of historical materials curated by cultural historian George Townsend.
Montgomery’s figures and riverscapes draw on classical statuary, found photography, and in situ life modelling, to create atmospheres of quiet and disquiet, lost and in-between time. Textures of muscle, skin and hair emerge amid corrugated metal, polished marble and crumbling brick, wind-moved leaves and the wavering image-within-an-image of open water.
Recovering a visual history of freshwater bathing in the UK, the exhibition incorporates historical text and images to reflect especially on: Parson’s Pleasure, an Oxford river bathing place demolished in 1992 and the focus of Townsend’s 2022 PHD; and the ponds used for bathing on Hampstead Heath over the past several centuries and still in use today.
The North Wall Arts Centre is an award-winning theatre and gallery in Summertown, Oxford, built on the site of a Victorian swimming pool. The Highgate Gallery is a part of the Highgate Literary & Scientific Institution, which has been promoting discussion, debate and life-long learning since 1839.

LONGITUDE
A Clockmaker’s Obsession
World premiere of a new musical with crashing waves, swelling music, and an emotional storm across the 18th century that will make you wish you’d brought your life jacket.
Come with us on an epic voyage across time and space to share the trials of a simple clockmaker who lost almost everything in his quest to save others.
A true story of betrayal, obsession, and injustice, conquered only by the love of his family and the intervention of Mad King George.
Ages: 8+

Textures of muscle, skin and hair emerge amid corrugated metal, polished marble and crumbling brick, wind-moved leaves and the wavering image-within-an-image of open water.
Recovering a visual history of freshwater bathing in the UK, the exhibition incorporates historical text and images to reflect especially on: Parson’s Pleasure, an Oxford river bathing place demolished in 1992 and the focus of Townsend’s 2022 PHD; and the ponds used for bathing on Hampstead Heath over the past several centuries and still in use today.
The North Wall Arts Centre is an award-winning theatre and gallery in Summertown, Oxford, built on the site of a Victorian swimming pool. The Highgate Gallery is a part of the Highgate Literary & Scientific Institution, which has been promoting discussion, debate and life-long learning since 1839.
Gallery times: Wednesdays to Fridays 13:00-17:00,
Saturdays 11:00-16:00, Sundays 11:00-17:00,

Wood engraver’s debut solo exhibition contemplates historic Oxford and Highgate bathing places.
The North Wall Arts Centre and Highgate Gallery announce the forthcoming exhibition Parson’s Pleasure and the Ponds – the debut solo show of printmaker Duncan Montgomery. Travelling between Oxford and Highgate, the exhibition presents a new series of wood engravings alongside a background of historical materials curated by cultural historian George Townsend.
Montgomery’s figures and riverscapes draw on classical statuary, found photography, and in situ life modelling, to create atmospheres of quiet and disquiet, lost and in-between time. Textures of muscle, skin and hair emerge amid corrugated metal, polished marble and crumbling brick, wind-moved leaves and the wavering image-within-an-image of open water.
