Honeycombs on Catacombs: A talk by Highgate Cemetery Bee Keeper Ian Creer @ Highgate Cemetery
Sep 10 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Highgate Cemetery Bee-keeper, Ian Creer, will talk about honey bees in general and in particular, those resident in Highgate Cemetery.
Ian will cover the differences between honey bees and other bees native to the UK, our relationship with them (including their importance to agriculture and the environment) and the life-cycles and roles within the honey bee hive. He will also discuss the threats to honey bees, the causes and remedies, and compare honey bees in the countryside to those in the City; in particular, those in the cemetery, their forage and the type of honey they produce compared to honey from other sources.
Ian will be bringing along a demonstration hive.

Elizabeth Hannaford: Less Abstract, More Real – landscapes, soundscapes and more … @ Highgate Gallery

Elizabeth Hannaford: Less Abstract, More Real – landscapes, soundscapes and more …

11-24 September 2015

including on Friday 18 September at 7.00pm: a Gallery Talk with Music to celebrate the joint venture between artist Elizabeth Hannaford and classical and jazz musician David Gordon.  (Admission £5 on the door.)

Elizabeth Hannaford’s work is a celebration of the worlds of nature and music.  “Her vision is underpinned by intuitive mark-making, a sense of drawing in paint, rich subconscious evocations of sound and place, and a sensuous, exquisite quality of surface.” (Clare Cooper, Director, Art First, London W1).

She does not set out to create abstract works.  The abstraction is a by-product of trying to find marks and colours which communicate more than the visual experience, particularly in her response to music.  Her raw, untouched landscapes are becoming ‘less abstract, more real’, with a new organic figuration emerging from the way she handles paint.  After a recent road trip to Namibia, animals have been making an appearance.

The work is underpinned by many years of drawing the moving human figure.  Hannaford’s fascination with space, energy and movement, as well as with the power of the drawn line, is evident in this exhibition.  Working predominantly in oil on canvas, she uses thin glazes of paint in a way reminiscent of water colour, sometimes adding sand or grit and occasionally found objects.  For her works on unprimed linens she uses a variety of mixed media, including bleach.  The scale of the work included in this exhibition ranges from large canvases, to tiny postcard drawings and watercolours.

More recently, like Hockney, she has experimented digitally, using her iPhone as an extension of her painting practice.  The iPhone art included in this show was created during a live performance by David Gordon at St Martin-in-the-Fields and later displayed as an installation in concert with his jazz trio at London’s Kings Place.  Hannaford’s idea and method of presenting these images is original.

Together Hannaford and Gordon will host an evening musical event at the gallery to celebrate and describe their joint work.  Two original compositions by Gordon, in response to Hannaford’s art, can also be heard via headphones throughout the course of the exhibition.

Hannaford lives and works locally, having recently moved her studio from Peckham.  She has worked full time as an artist since the late nineties after abandoning two earlier careers to paint –  as City lawyer and state registered art therapist.  Her work has been collected and exhibited widely, including at London’s Royal Academy of Arts, Royal College of Art and leading London commercial galleries, and can be viewed at www.elizabethhannaford.com.

Hannaford’s first show, “The Moving Figure”, was at The Square Gallery, Pond Square, Highgate in 1991, while she was still a lawyer.  We are delighted to see her back in Highgate for this evocative, intriguing and strong show.

The exhibition includes collaborative work with musician DAVID GORDON.  “I have played with many great musicians, but tonight I have shared the stage with one of England’s finest musicians and composers, David Gordon”.  (Christopher Warren-Green, Music Director/Conductor London Chamber Orchestra )

Open Tuesday-Friday 13:00-17:00, Saturday 11:00-16:00; Sunday 11:00-17:00.  Closed Monday.

Elizabeth Hannaford: Less Abstract, More Real – landscapes, soundscapes and more …

11-24 September 2015

including on Friday 18 September at 7.00pm: a Gallery Talk with Music to celebrate the joint venture between artist Elizabeth Hannaford and classical and jazz musician David Gordon.  (Admission £5 on the door.)

Elizabeth Hannaford’s work is a celebration of the worlds of nature and music.  “Her vision is underpinned by intuitive mark-making, a sense of drawing in paint, rich subconscious evocations of sound and place, and a sensuous, exquisite quality of surface.” (Clare Cooper, Director, Art First, London W1).

She does not set out to create abstract works.  The abstraction is a by-product of trying to find marks and colours which communicate more than the visual experience, particularly in her response to music.  Her raw, untouched landscapes are becoming ‘less abstract, more real’, with a new organic figuration emerging from the way she handles paint.  After a recent road trip to Namibia, animals have been making an appearance.

The work is underpinned by many years of drawing the moving human figure.  Hannaford’s fascination with space, energy and movement, as well as with the power of the drawn line, is evident in this exhibition.  Working predominantly in oil on canvas, she uses thin glazes of paint in a way reminiscent of water colour, sometimes adding sand or grit and occasionally found objects.  For her works on unprimed linens she uses a variety of mixed media, including bleach.  The scale of the work included in this exhibition ranges from large canvases, to tiny postcard drawings and watercolours.

More recently, like Hockney, she has experimented digitally, using her iPhone as an extension of her painting practice.  The iPhone art included in this show was created during a live performance by David Gordon at St Martin-in-the-Fields and later displayed as an installation in concert with his jazz trio at London’s Kings Place.  Hannaford’s idea and method of presenting these images is original.

Together Hannaford and Gordon will host an evening musical event at the gallery to celebrate and describe their joint work.  Two original compositions by Gordon, in response to Hannaford’s art, can also be heard via headphones throughout the course of the exhibition.

Hannaford lives and works locally, having recently moved her studio from Peckham.  She has worked full time as an artist since the late nineties after abandoning two earlier careers to paint –  as City lawyer and state registered art therapist.  Her work has been collected and exhibited widely, including at London’s Royal Academy of Arts, Royal College of Art and leading London commercial galleries, and can be viewed at www.elizabethhannaford.com.

Hannaford’s first show, “The Moving Figure”, was at The Square Gallery, Pond Square, Highgate in 1991, while she was still a lawyer.  We are delighted to see her back in Highgate for this evocative, intriguing and strong show.

The exhibition includes collaborative work with musician DAVID GORDON.  “I have played with many great musicians, but tonight I have shared the stage with one of England’s finest musicians and composers, David Gordon”.  (Christopher Warren-Green, Music Director/Conductor London Chamber Orchestra )
