Interdisciplinary artist Elspeth Hamilton, who has also worked as an architect, glass artist, teacher, writer and environmental educator, presents an exhibition which spans over 40 years of work and focuses thematically on seascapes, riverscapes and portraits. 
Her expressive paintings explore the language between figuration and abstraction, and are preoccupied with the tension Hamilton sees between ‘rough and smooth’, both in terms of the forces of nature, and our experience of life. It was a preoccupation she first realised on the Pembrokeshire coast where she was fascinated by the stillness of a rock pool juxtaposed with the wild sea. On the coastline in Dominica, she depicts the effects of erosion on the dramatic cliffs. In Spain, she captures an approaching storm and in Cornwall the elemental drama where sea meets rugged cliffs.

Tom Scase
A restless mind at work and play
Highgate Gallery: 21 April – 4 May
Due to the unfortunate cancellation of the Eugenia Alekseyev exhibition, Highgate Gallery is pleased to announce that artist Tom Scase will show in her place.
A restless mind at work and play.
The exhibition will feature unseen archive work alongside recent insights. Scase employs joyful use of colour juxtaposed with sinister undertones that call into question our perception of space and relationship with nature, through drawing, painting, photography and collage. Tom’s work is organic and rhythmic. A restless mind at work and play provides a rare opportunity to see how connections evolve.

Blood Gold and Oil
by Jan Woolf
From the Arab revolt of the First World War, a modern hero is constructed: the complex, flawed figure of Lawrence of Arabia. His legacy is as conflicted as his psyche. Brilliant military commander? Agent of British Imperialism? Vulnerable fantasist? Freedom Fighter?
Set in the present day, as an exhibition of the genuine archaeological finds is set up in a museum, the ghost of Lawrence is summoned through the passions of the archaeologist. Yet reality and agency reside in the more grounded figure who thinks about the future rather than the past.
In Blood Gold and Oil ghost and love stories combine, as Lawrence seeks a release from guilt and fame.
Written for the 20th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, Jan Woolf fuses activism with creativity. She started the play while writer in residence with The Great Arab Revolt archaeological dig in Jordan in 2013 where she ‘dug a play out of the desert.’
Performances: 25-29 April at 19:30, 30 April at 16:00
