Join him for this live show where he hilariously reveals the truth behind recent News events both home and abroad. He’ll also be discussing his own meteoric rise to mediocrity…and one imagines he’ll be venting plenty of spleen in the process.*

ROBERT CUNNING – The City and Beyond

Highgate Gallery
16-29 September 2016

City, country and the boundary between
The City and Beyond considers the relationship between city and country and the boundary between urban and rural.

A common thread of Robert Cunning’s paintings is that they evoke a strong sense of place, whether it is the deep rural hills of South Shropshire and the Welsh Marches, or the inner cityscapes of London and New York. His paintings observe the changing architectural spaces of our cities and the seasonal changes of the countryside.

W G Sebald commented: “Places seems to me to have some kind of memory, in that they activate memory in those who look at them.”

The memory of place is key to some of the paintings. The impressive mountains and hills of Wales and the borderland contain ancient rock formations and fossils, giving clues to the history of earlier times. The river estuary of London was once covered in forest, the remnants of which are revealed by tides to this day.

Robert Cunning lived and taught in London for 20 years and now lives in rural Shropshire. The journey between the two places informs his work, for example, the entrance into London by rail at Euston and Kings Cross. This area, which used to be on the outskirts of the city, has been redeveloped considerably in recent times for the International ‘Eurostar’ at St Pancras.

His training as a gilder and frame-maker naturally inclined him towards the preparation of gesso for frames and panels. The smooth surface of the gesso allows the images to emerge with great clarity. The paintings are built up slowly with many layers of thin oil paint which are blended together while still wet.

A new weekly Sunday farmers market for the community.

We’re delighted to be hosted by St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School.

St Joseph’s are especially delighted to celebrate the opening of the Market with the School’s 10th anniversary in September of the ‘St Joseph’s Children’s Garden’ project, enabling children in the Community to sell their garden produce and share their growing expertise.

Produce will include; Freshly pressed juice, soft fruit and top fruit in season, vegetables and salads.  Organic & free range meat, raw milk, cheese, plants & flowers, handmade preserves, herbs, pies, cakes and bread, wet fish and shellfish, free range eggs.

Something for everyone.

All farms are based within 100 miles of London and everyone is visited before they sell with us. Secondary producers such as jam makers have to use a minimum of 50% local ingredients and we ask bakers to use seasonal ingredients and free range/organic eggs. We’ll do our best to include locally based producers, anyone interested should get in touch with us as soon as possible.

ROBERT CUNNING – The City and Beyond

Highgate Gallery
16-29 September 2016

City, country and the boundary between
The City and Beyond considers the relationship between city and country and the boundary between urban and rural.

A common thread of Robert Cunning’s paintings is that they evoke a strong sense of place, whether it is the deep rural hills of South Shropshire and the Welsh Marches, or the inner cityscapes of London and New York. His paintings observe the changing architectural spaces of our cities and the seasonal changes of the countryside.

W G Sebald commented: “Places seems to me to have some kind of memory, in that they activate memory in those who look at them.”

The memory of place is key to some of the paintings. The impressive mountains and hills of Wales and the borderland contain ancient rock formations and fossils, giving clues to the history of earlier times. The river estuary of London was once covered in forest, the remnants of which are revealed by tides to this day.

Robert Cunning lived and taught in London for 20 years and now lives in rural Shropshire. The journey between the two places informs his work, for example, the entrance into London by rail at Euston and Kings Cross. This area, which used to be on the outskirts of the city, has been redeveloped considerably in recent times for the International ‘Eurostar’ at St Pancras.

His training as a gilder and frame-maker naturally inclined him towards the preparation of gesso for frames and panels. The smooth surface of the gesso allows the images to emerge with great clarity. The paintings are built up slowly with many layers of thin oil paint which are blended together while still wet.
