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.

A talk by Leo Henghes who will be highlighting a number of the social enterprises he has supported over recent years in Uganda. Find out more about United Social Ventures here.

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.

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’.

Linda Landers: Memories, Dreams, Visions – Earth and Beyond. 12 -23 June 2021

A sense of magical realism pervades Linda Landers’ work where past memories meet the present, and landscapes and figures take on an aura of wonder and mysticism.

Linda draws inspiration for her paintings, etchings and wood engravings from nature and the people around her, as well as from NASA space missions which Landers heard about as a child, when she met Buzz Aldrin.

A sense of magical realism pervades Linda Landers’ paintings, etchings and wood engravings where past memories meet the present, and landscapes and figures take on an aura of wonder and mysticism.  Inspiration is drawn from nature and people around us, as well as from NASA space missions which Landers heard about as a child, when she met Buzz Aldrin.

Landers sites Etruscan art and frescos as a strong stylistic influence.  These sculptures and paintings are often peopled by smiling figures, and Landers’ own work is imbued with this sense of optimism; it celebrates the natural world and the joy of life and of the imagination.

There is a sculptural aspect to her work.  In the early paintings Landers builds up layers of paint to create texture as if a painted stucco.  In more recent work this building and layering is achieved rather through colour than a textured surface.  In wood engraving, the unprinted areas are cut and carved out in fine detail and the relief surface of the work is printed.

Landers was born in Hertfordshire but now lives and works in London.  She completed a Foundation course at Watford School of Art under Michael Werner and Peter Schmidt and went on to study Fine Art at Central St Martins under Cecil Collins.  She holds an MA in Art from the University of Kingston.  Landers won a printmaking prize at the Mall Galleries where she also taught.  She is a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers and is a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
