Highgate Hill, oil on canvas.

We are delighted to shows a significant body of work from acclaimed local artist Philip Sanderson, who captures townscapes and other scenes from a wide variety of sources, particularly London and Highgate.  He aims for a lightness of touch and fluidity that is at once engaging and appealing.  At the same time, his work retains a discipline and structure that gives it weight, so that the overall impression is one of beauty and substance.

Philip paints in oils and watercolours and says that he “endeavours to represent subjects in a loose and attractive way”.  His work is particularly concerned with the effect of light, particularly sunlight, and how this gives subtly contrasting tones of light and dark to his subject matter.  He often depicts people in his pictures, representing life and movement and adding another layer of interest and relevance to the familiar local scenes.

For many years an active member of the Highgate Watercolour Group and a participant in art courses and local art shows, Philip also had a career in the NHS, where he was a consultant microbiologist working in Edgware and Barnet.  He studied problems of infections acquired within hospitals and helped to found and edit a journal dedicated to this subject.

This exhibition is an opportunity to see a collection of pictures from the last five years, following a successful exhibition at St. Martin-in-the-Fields.  Most of the works are oils; all work will be for sale.

Highgate Gallery open Tuesday-Friday 1-5pm, Saturday 11am-4pm, Sunday 11am-5pm; closed Mondays.

 Tom Scase – New Horizons.  15-28 January 2021

Tom Scase’s recent works are vibrant and zestful and mark a welcome start to Highgate Gallery’s new year of shows, following the lockdowns and postponed shows of 2020.

Despite their joyful presentation, a darkly sinister undertone lingers beneath the playful surface marks in these paintings, creating strange landscapes where cloned sheep, menacing bees and warplanes are juxtaposed with abstract forms.  Materials used include paints, collage, ink, varnishes and natural substances such as tree bark and mud from Hampstead Heath.

Horizons, which are a preoccupation in many of the works, become a metaphor for ambition, for the future, for what lies beyond, the limitless limit…and when we look at them further, our perception of space – as well as our relationship with nature – is called into question.  Even Scase’s humour has an edge of danger, and we are constantly challenged about what reality it is we are facing.

Tom Scase is a Suffolk-born artist who has lived in Highgate for many years.  He won first prize with the New Contemporaries and Europa Prize, Belgium, and has exhibited widely including at the Sainsbury Centre, Norwich, Sandnes, Norway (with Derek Jarman), Southampton University, and at South Hill Park Arts Centre (Arts Council), the Cello Factory, the ICA and the RCA in London.  He is a member of the London Group, originally founded in 1913 by 32 artists including David Bomberg and Jacob Epstein.

15th March – Conservation: Environment versus Heritage

Eventbrite Link will be on www.highgatesociety.com in March

A talk by his granddaughter Dr Susannah Self.

John Drinkwater (1882-1937), the poet and dramatist, lived at 9 The Grove in Highgate from 1930 to 1934. Geographically situating himself amidst local literati such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge and J.B. Priestley curiously resonated with his life’s experience. In 1919 Drinkwater’s play, Abraham Lincoln had played for a year in London’s West End and toured to USA, he was a superstar. However by the time he reached Highgate in the thirties, his flamboyant persona hid the darker truth of ailing health and crumbling finances. His situation in many respects mirrored that of Coleridge. Dr Self presents her unique collection of historical photos and family stories to illuminate the life of this much loved ‘Georgian’ poet.

With readings by Ruth Hazeldine.

Marian Carter, ‘Wealdstone turned to Waves’

The Poetics of Print.  Original prints by Bodenpress Artists.  28 May – 10 June 2021

The fourteen Bodenpress artists whose work will be shown in The Poetics of Print exhibition have taken their inspiration from John Betjeman’s poetry, particularly ’Metroland’.  These nostalgic poems which have a sense of humour and a serious undertone reflect travel and life along the Metropolitan line, and have been interpreted in a contemporary and vibrant way by the artists.

Metroland – the area reached by the Metropolitan Line which connects the ‘smoke’ to the ‘suburbs’ – is where most of the artists hail from.  Living and working in Buckinghamshire they have been exhibiting together for over ten years.  Bodenpress is a small printmaking studio in Chesham where artists create works using traditional and modern methods.

This group exhibition showcases a variety of printmaking techniques such as Polymer etching, Linocut, Collagraph, Drypoint, Monotype and Screenprint.  The work is varied in style, some figurative, some architectural, and each artist uses Betjeman’s poems to create their compositions with great variety and colour.  All the work is uniform in size with each artist’s interpretations showing in similar white frames for a pleasing exhibition layout.

Printmaking is an intriguing art form, with many techniques and processes used to create original fine art prints.  Some are unique, others are part of a small limited edition, and all are hand inked. These are for sale along with a catalogue that has been produced for the exhibition.

The artists have exhibited together in various galleries and art spaces, including Bucks County Museum in Aylesbury, and have had works in national print shows such as at Bankside Gallery, Mall Galleries and the Royal Academy in London.  Highgate Gallery is an ideal space for The Poetics of Print as the area has an important connection to Betjeman where he lived and went to school as a young boy.

Talks – The Poetics of Print    1 June & 8 June, 6 – 7pm

June 1st – Andrew Martin, ‘Betjeman, the Metropolitan Railway and the Romance of Trains’.

June 8th – Mark Ovenden, ‘Transforming London’s Look: 150 years of London Underground design’.

Metroland – the area reached by the Metropolitan Line which connects the ‘smoke’ to the ‘suburbs’ – is where most of the artists hail from.  Living and working in Buckinghamshire they have been exhibiting together for over ten years.  Bodenpress is a small printmaking studio in Chesham where artists create works using traditional and modern methods.

This group exhibition showcases a variety of printmaking techniques such as Polymer etching, Linocut, Collagraph, Drypoint, Monotype and Screenprint.  The work is varied in style, some figurative, some architectural, and each artist uses Betjeman’s poems to create their compositions with great variety and colour.  All the work is uniform in size with each artist’s interpretations showing in similar white frames for a pleasing exhibition layout.

Printmaking is an intriguing art form, with many techniques and processes used to create original fine art prints.  Some are unique, others are part of a small limited edition, and all are hand inked. These are for sale along with a catalogue that has been produced for the exhibition.

The artists have exhibited together in various galleries and art spaces, including Bucks County Museum in Aylesbury, and have had works in national print shows such as at Bankside Gallery, Mall Galleries and the Royal Academy in London.  Highgate Gallery is an ideal space for The Poetics of Print as the area has an important connection to Betjeman where he lived and went to school as a young boy.

The Poetics of Print.  Original prints by Bodenpress Artists.  28 May – 10 June 2021

The fourteen Bodenpress artists whose work will be shown in The Poetics of Print exhibition have taken their inspiration from John Betjeman’s poetry, particularly ’Metroland’.  These nostalgic poems which have a sense of humour and a serious undertone reflect travel and life along the Metropolitan line, and have been interpreted in a contemporary and vibrant way by the artists.
