Abstraction and Emotion: paintings by Samantha Laub, Jason Sweidan and David Taylor @ Highgate Gallery
Nov 8 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

   Image: Abstract Painting  oil on canvas  90x90cm  David Taylor 2019.  All rights reserved

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

Childrens’ Show – The Stolen Dragon @ Lauderdale House
Nov 9 @ 10:30 am – 12:30 pm

Onceupona Theatre presents The Stolen Dragon. Join Adventuretellers Brooke Conway and Hannah Mathieson on a story-quest to save the golden dragon and her newly laid eggs from the grasps of a lonely wizard. Together you will conquer fears and face mystical characters, travelling through jungles, enchanted forests, lagoons and snow storms ‘til you reach the wizard’s ruined tower in the snowy mountains. Can you save the dragon, or will we be trapped in an eternal winter forever?

“Brooke mesmerises the children who become part of her show…” Primary Times

“Magical! …It was an amazing thing to see my quiet and shy child transformed into a story teller, dancer, actor – a performer!” Early Years Advisor

Onceupona have been voted Best Family Entertainment in the Hoop Awards 2019. Our very own Creative Director, Brooke Conway, was also voted Hoop Hero – the family activity professional who has made the biggest impact on local families in the last year.

The Stolen Dragon will take place at 10.30am on Saturday 9 November. Performances last approximately 45 minutes and are suitable for children aged 3+ and their families.

There will be a short, free children’s arts and crafts session afterwards for all audiences, no extra ticket or booking required.

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.
