Eugenia Alekseyev: London Day & Night at Highgate Galle
9 – 22 May 2025
The exhibition will be open:
Eugenia Alekseyev, a London-based landscape artist, presents her solo exhibition: London, Day and Night. Featuring urban scenes and the bucolic places of Hampstead Heath, the show is unmistakably local, yet offering a fresh look at familiar places.
Painting within the neo-romanticism tradition, Eugenia uses strong impasto brushstrokes to convey the immediacy of the scene. She opposes what she sees as the rational and rigid process of studio painting preferring to work plein air. Her relationship with her surroundings becomes as important as visual information alone: the raw charge of the rain, snow and wind become an integral part of each painting through brushwork, texture and colour.
Urban scenes explore the experience of a lone individual in a metropolis. The city becomes a symbol and a reflection of the society, and the windows of the buildings, often a feature of Eugenia’s paintings, a reflection of its soul: a way to communicate and understand it.
The landscapes stem from strong emotions – they are a spiritual and unashamedly romantic re-creation of an ephemeral, and yet palpably real world: a search for the sublime and an antidote to the accelerating pace of the modern urban life. They are enigmatic and feel both intimate and public; real and dreamy; but always animated and human.
Eugenia’s Hampstead paintings are held in the permanent collection of Burgh House, Hampstead.

Following a successful showcase at Theatre at The Tabard in 2024, The Crooked Billets brings Peter Mottley’s double bill of forgotten gems to Upstairs at The Gatehouse for a special two week run. Written in the 1980s, these thrilling one-handers use Shakespeare’s Henry V as a framework to explore themes of coming-of-age, class, PTSD, and the real human cost of war.
Before Nell is told through the eyes of a boy actor preparing to take the stage as Nell Quickly AKA Madame Pistol in the first ever production of Henry V. It presents a heart-breaking, darkly comic and meticulously researched insight into the hardships and social dynamics of the time.
After Agincourt is a visceral and brutal recounting of the English invasion of France in 1415. Set in The Boar’s Head Tavern seven years later, a drunk and bitter Pistol details the campaign of bloody battles in vivid modern vernacular at the same time tearing down the heroic picture of King Henry V we’re so familiar with.

The play concentrates on the personalities, rivalries and machinations involved in the leadership battles and does not set out to take a pro- or anti-Thatcher stance.

SARAB “A mirage” is a 55-minute tragic theatre circus that was produced in 2017 to highlight the difficulties faced by refugees around the world. And the repetition of it today for millions of people.
“We are forced,
We had no other option.
Dragged to an uncertain end,
On a road full of obstacles and checkpoints that we could barely pass.
Our destiny unknown.
During the long and rough journey,
We kept dreaming of the moment we would arrive,
Continuing our path towards the unknown.
Finally,
We arrive.
Have we reached our goal?
After floating earth and oceans,
We discover the unexpected.
It really was nothing, but a mirage.”
