Abstraction and Emotion: paintings by Samantha Laub, Jason Sweidan and David Taylor @ Highgate Gallery
Nov 13 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

In this group show, Samantha Laub, Jason Sweidan and David Taylor present vibrant abstract paintings, influenced by abstract expressionism.  The paintings demonstrate distinctive emotional responses to the natural.

Samantha, Jason and David have been developing a set of unique styles in close interaction with each other – all with strong colour use.  The theme of present and remembered emotion displays their distinctive styles whilst drawing on a common theme.

Samantha’s works begin as spontaneous outpouring of energy and emotion that she then develops and refines into finished pieces.  Her paintings are visceral, full of movement and texture.

Jason applies oil on canvases to construct and deconstruct images that reflect elements of nature.  His paintings are predominantly fluid, physical and textured using gravity to allow the paint to evolve.

David’s work reflects memories of the natural in which strong colour use is combined with loose natural references that evoke a sense of fluidity, water or landscape.

All three artists are local to the exhibition and originally met at the Hampstead School of Art (HSOA).

Samantha is Creative Director of Gorgeous Brewery based in Highgate and also works in advertising, as well as being a painter.  She has exhibited at a number of HSOA exhibitions and was also shortlisted in the National Open Art exhibition in 2016.

Jason works in investor relations as well as being an artist.  He recently held his first solo art exhibition and has exhibited at several HSOA summer exhibitions and the Green and Stone summer exhibition 2019.  His work is held in private collections in the UK, USA, Spain and Bermuda.

David is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and Professor Emeritus at the University of Brighton.  He is a leading academic social theorist and writer as well as a painter and sociologist of art.

Exhibition continues until 21 November

Waste Not Want Not: Information evening @ Highgate Society
Nov 13 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Waste Not Want Not

Our speakers will
address the ‘waste hierarchy’ – how we can reduce, reuse
and recycle more waste, and the meeting is open to all.
We’ll hear from Carina Millstone who is Executive
Director of Feedback, a charity that campaigns to
transform our food systems, cutting the impact on our
planet, particularly from waste. Leigh McAlea will
discuss the impact of fast fashion – she is Head of
Communications at TRAID, a charity which aims to
“stop clothes from being thrown away.” We’ll also find
out what councils can do to tackle plastic waste from Ian
Kershaw of Haringey Council.
Addressing waste disposal – at the end of the waste
hierarchy – will be Ursula Taylor, Head of Legal and
Governance at North London Waste Authority. Ursula
will discuss what happens to our waste – many of us will
have been horrified to see images of piles of British
‘recycling’ strewn across the shores of South East Asia.
Our speakers will address what we can do as individuals
to reduce waste and discuss the sorts of policies that we
should be demanding from local and national politicians.
Following the talks there will be a Q & A session.

How Hampstead Heath was Saved by Helen Lawrence @ Highgate Society
Jan 30 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Thursday 30th January 2020
7.00 pm to 9.00 pm
10A South Grove N6 6BS

Helen Lawrence will speak about her new ground-breaking book, THE SAVING OF HAMPSTEAD HEATH: A Story of People Power, which gives us a new perspective on the campaigns to save Hampstead Heath. It makes clear that the need for vigilance to protect the Heath did not end with the “saving” of its core area in the 1870s, but continued until well into the later 20th century and is still essential. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. Helen has been Chairman of the Heath and Hampstead Society, a Trustee of the London Forum and a Trustee of Civic Voice.

Entry to the meeting is £5 (plus 98p booking fee), booked through Eventbrite (click here.)

Printmakers Council: TIME

The Printmakers Council invites you to find the time to join them in exploring the concept of Time in both traditional and innovative forms printmaking. Determined historically by the rising and the setting of the sun, our modern lifestyles push against the natural rhythms of rest and labour and our now 24-hour economy urges consumer purchasing of smart watches.  It’s not just telling the time but scheduling what to do with it.  Meanwhile astrophysical research challenges our understanding of time itself.  The Printmakers explore our complex relationship with time, a fascinating and engrossing subject for us all.

All work is for sale.

Events: 

15 minute talks Sunday 9th February 2-3pm.

Create a print in a 10 minutes.  Workshop on Sunday 16th February 2-4pm.

  • Providing information on prints and printmaking to its 250 members and the public
