Many members of the Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution are creatively talented with the membership including both professional artists and gifted amateurs. The Members’ Art Exhibition, held every three years at Highgate Gallery, celebrates and displays this breadth of talent.
All HLSI members can submit up to three pieces of two-dimensional work, be it oils, watercolours, acrylics, textiles, prints or photographs. Selection for exhibition is made by a panel consisting this year of Simon Turner, artist and teacher at Haberdashers’ Girls’ School; Mary Shurman, doyenne of Members’ Art shows for the past twenty years; and several members of the Highgate Gallery Committee. The aim is to show the range of expertise and the highest quality of work produced by members.
The event is always popular with exhibitors and Gallery visitors alike, and is a much anticipated date in the HLSI winter programme as well as the wider social life in Highgate village. One of the exhibiting artists will be in the Gallery each day throughout the show to welcome visitors, assist with queries and introduce the work on show.
Admission is free and all work will be for sale. Highgate Gallery open Tues-Fri 1-5pm, Sat 11am-4pm, Sun 11am-5pm; closed Mon.

‘Metamorphosis’ is a collection of fantastical and surreal paintings and drawings by Hazel Florez. The theme of transition and transmutation tie together this collection of works that explore dream worlds and the symbolic realm of the subconscious.
Influenced by concepts of Jungian psychology, this exhibition invites the viewer into a world of mystical and mythological storytelling. Central to the exhibition is a series of wooden panel paintings each showing a different stage in alchemical transformation. Alchemy is the medieval forerunner of chemistry, concerned with the transmutation of matter, in particular with attempts to convert base metals into gold or find a universal elixir. However, in this exhibition alchemy is also explored in myths, psychological transformation and the reclaiming of powerful female archetypes in the form of symbols of the classical goddesses. As part of her research and creative process, for this exhibition, Florez has drawn inspiration from alchemical manuscripts at The Ritman Library Archive based in Amsterdam. She invites her viewers to step into the realms of magic and the otherworldly.
Hazel Florez (b. 1984) is a UK artist based in a London Studio in Hackney. She graduated at Edinburgh University and the Edinburgh college of Art from the MA Fine Art program in 2007. She is currently represented by Bridgeman Images. She has exhibited with a number of London art collectors and galleries including, The Holy Art, The Tub Gallery, Purslane, and The Vacant Museum.
The Annual Exhibition gives The Royal Photographic Society the opportunity to showcase just a small selection of the work of London Region members. Images represent many genres and styles – from travel to contemporary, from portraiture to street – and much more.
The photographers themselves range from those new to the art and practice of photography to those who have attained an ‘FRPS’, the highest level of the Society’s Distinctions: some members work professionally or semi-professionally. Some images are taken on film, others with the latest digital camera. You can expect to see 70+ framed and mounted prints and a number of images displayed digitally.

Join local actor Sam Toocaram Toller as Sir Sydney Waterlow for a guided walk around the grounds that he gifted to the public as a ‘garden for the gardenless’.
Waterlow Park has been an escape for many people over the years; Quakers practicing religion safely away from the City of London and Church of England; Nell Gwynn nursing her newborn away from the stench of the City; victims of the Blitz finding solace away from the fire and bombs; and even the locked down Londoners of 2021 finding an idyllic spot to stretch their legs and safely see their friends and loved ones.
Actors will bring these dramatic stories to life in a forty minute guided walk around the park, which will remind us how important natural environments for the community are, especially in one of the busiest and best cities in the world. Come and discover your new favourite green spot in London, or some new nuggets of knowledge if you’re already familiar with this park that is held dear in the hearts of so many Londoners.

Beyond the Likeness Group: Life after Life. 4-17 March 2022
Highgate Cemetery is the inspiration for thirteen artists, all trained in portraiture, who bring their own personal interpretations to paintings of some of those who are buried there. In doing so they discover the richness and diversity of their worlds and examine their legacies.
The Group explore scenarios in which different centuries come together, presenting those with contradictory and complementary attitudes. They investigate attitudes to sexual mores, the environment, different cultures, the individual, and even the Cemetery itself.
Those being featured include: Eva and Walter Neurath, founders of Thames and Hudson; Shu Pao Lim, founder of the Chinese Community Centre; William Friese-Green, inventor of the motion picture camera; David Edward Hughes, inventor of the microphone; Bert Jansch, folk/jazz guitarist; Jane Arden, film director; Mehmet Aksoy, filmmaker; Berenice Sydney, abstract artist; Elizabeth Siddall, artist and muse; Malcolm McClaren, visual artist and performer; Charles Cruft, founder of the dog show; Claudia Jones, journalist and activist; Philip Harben, first celebrity chef; Ernestine Rose, suffragist, abolitionist and free thinker, and the Lost Girls of Highgate, ten residents of a home for ‘lost women’.
With a wealth of artistic talent drawn from around the world, all of whom have very different cultural approaches to death and commemoration, Life after Life is a unique look at mortality, the march of time and the inevitability of our demise, from a unique Highgate Cemetery perspective.
The Beyond the Likeness Group consists of former and current Art Academy London students who met while studying on the Contemporary Portraiture degree course. Members – who are from four continents and have nine languages between them – are:
Norman Frost; Corrie Georgala; Alicia Griffiths; Patricia Gutierrez; Kate Linden; Constance Regardsoe; Jess Routley; Minnie Scott; Paul Starns; Ruth Swain; Susan Terrones; Richa Vora; Belinda Wrigley.
Their work has appeared in various national competitions and galleries, ranging from the Royal Portrait Society, Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, Mall Galleries, Ruth Borchard, Ashmoleum Musem, Holly Bush, London’s Newington Gallery, in the book ‘Portraits for NHS Heroes’ and in several online exhibitions. All work in this exhibition is for sale. Admission free.

Highgate Gallery open Tues-Fri 1-5pm, Sat 11am-4pm, Sun 11am-5pm; closed Mon.
Highgate Cemetery is the inspiration for thirteen artists, all trained in portraiture, who bring their own personal interpretations to paintings of some of those who are buried there. In doing so they discover the richness and diversity of their worlds and examine their legacies.
The Group explore scenarios in which different centuries come together, presenting those with contradictory and complementary attitudes. They investigate attitudes to sexual mores, the environment, different cultures, the individual, and even the Cemetery itself.
Those being featured include: Eva and Walter Neurath, founders of Thames and Hudson; Shu Pao Lim, founder of the Chinese Community Centre; William Friese-Green, inventor of the motion picture camera; David Edward Hughes, inventor of the microphone; Bert Jansch, folk/jazz guitarist; Jane Arden, film director; Mehmet Aksoy, filmmaker; Berenice Sydney, abstract artist; Elizabeth Siddall, artist and muse; Malcolm McClaren, visual artist and performer; Charles Cruft, founder of the dog show; Claudia Jones, journalist and activist; Philip Harben, first celebrity chef; Ernestine Rose, suffragist, abolitionist and free thinker, and the Lost Girls of Highgate, ten residents of a home for ‘lost women’.
With a wealth of artistic talent drawn from around the world, all of whom have very different cultural approaches to death and commemoration, Life after Life is a unique look at mortality, the march of time and the inevitability of our demise, from a unique Highgate Cemetery perspective.
The Beyond the Likeness Group consists of former and current Art Academy London students who met while studying on the Contemporary Portraiture degree course. Members – who are from four continents and have nine languages between them – are:
Norman Frost; Corrie Georgala; Alicia Griffiths; Patricia Gutierrez; Kate Linden; Constance Regardsoe; Jess Routley; Minnie Scott; Paul Starns; Ruth Swain; Susan Terrones; Richa Vora; Belinda Wrigley.
Their work has appeared in various national competitions and galleries, ranging from the Royal Portrait Society, Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, Mall Galleries, Ruth Borchard, Ashmoleum Musem, Holly Bush, London’s Newington Gallery, in the book ‘Portraits for NHS Heroes’ and in several online exhibitions. All work in this exhibition is for sale.
