Anita Klein brings her immediately recognisable and endlessly charming paintings, linocuts, drypoints, and woodcuts to Lauderdale House for this special show. This exhibition will display the breadth and depth of Anita’s successful career — an excellent opportunity for those both familiar with and new to her work. Anita’s art is known for showcasing the beauty of the everyday, and the wide selection of works available for sale in this exhibition will do just that.
Anita Klein will be on display in Lauderdale House’s Lower and Upper Galleries during gallery opening times from 4 March until 30 March 2020.
The gallery is open:
• Monday to Wednesday (11am to 4pm)
• Thursday (11:30am to 4pm) – Call to check
• Friday (11am to 4pm) – Call to check
• Sunday: Special Sunday opening on Sunday 8 March and Sunday 22 March.

Bookings for the Spring 2020 term of Painting with Watercolours and Acrylics are now open, please book online or call the box office on 020 8348 8716.
This class is the perfect opportunity to learn the basics of two wonderful paint mediums; how to mix, blend and layer watercolour and how to apply acrylic. Explore how to make dynamic compositions that produce interesting paintings using still Life, photographs and sketches as inspiration.
On warm days in the Spring and Summer, this class is sometimes taught outside, taking advantage of the stunning scenery of Waterlow Park.
Our art tutor, Sharon Finmark, lives in North London and studied at Central St. Martins School of Art. She has had several books published on painting and drawing.
Please note that art materials are not provided for this class. Participants will need to bring their own materials. Download materials list.
So begins Once Upon a Mattress, a magical musical comedy journey into the world of Hans Christian Anderson’s beloved story of the princess and the pea.
But this isn’t your usual fairy tale, and princess Winnifred isn’t your usual fairy-tale princess. The Kingdom in which she seeks her prince seethes with a very adult problem, which won’t end until a very stubborn Queen Aggravain allows her son to marry Alas, he is his mother’s prince, and is any princess really good enough?
The 1959 classic Tony-nominated hit from Mary Rodgers–daughter legendary composer Richard Rodgers–returns to London for the first time in many moons!

Having the choice between 2 models – one maintaining longer poses (up to 1 hr) and another offering shorter poses (4 to 15 mins) – makes this class quite special. Sharon Finmark, our tutor, is available to offer support and expertise responding to the individual needs of the class.
This is a drop-in session, so no booking is necessary. Bring your own materials, paper on sale.
Attendance costs £15 (concessions £12).
ORGANIC ORIGINS. Photographic Artworks by Keith Hammond
Artist and photographer Keith Hammond’s first solo exhibition at the Highgate Gallery in London takes a radical departure to nature photography.
Entitled Organic Origins, the exhibition showcases 14 of Hammond’s landscape works. Mostly taken in north London’s open spaces, including Hampstead Heath and Waterlow Park close to the gallery, each has a different theme, from Japanese Maple (2014) to Water Iris Shoots (2015), Frost on Leaf and Grass (2015) and Arching Beech (2016).
In these large-scale works, Hammond’s intention is to explore the way we look at nature. Rather than use a single shot composed in the picturesque tradition, he takes a radical approach, using a grid system that investigates each landscape from multiple viewpoints. Hammond then incorporates these smaller images and details into each finished image, making works that are more than the sum of their parts, and which reward repeated viewing.
The artworks in Organic Origins also invite comparison with other artists such as Gilbert and George and David Hockney, whose workshops he has attended. Hammond’s use of “joiners” (the photographic term for smaller images that combine to compose a larger picture) itself questions the act of perception, inviting a re-evaluation of photographic truth and the single “decisive moment”. Instead, his artworks respond to the way the eye actually works in nature: sometimes near, sometimes far, always restless.
“We don’t look at a beautiful tree or a landscape for just a split second. We take our time, our eyes wander all over the scene, we take it all in; the leaves shake in the wind, the waters ripple, the clouds move, the light changes. Nothing is static.” Keith Hammond, 2019
Hammond also works on his images post-production. Several of the landscapes in Organic Origins have been digitally manipulated to bring out details that are unattainable within the normal colour spectrum. The intention is to gain a wider harmony in the image – and express a wider truth about the relationship between the viewer and the natural world.
“I want to connect with something essential about the natural world; something that is palpably already there if we just take the time to look.” Keith Hammond, 2019.
“I have had a passion for trees since I was a small girl. If you’re similarly attracted to their changing colours and shapes, please spend time at Keith Hammond’s exhibition at the Highgate Gallery. He is a remarkable photographer.” Dame Judi Dench, 2020.
The artworks are for sale. From a series of 50 images, the 14 limited-edition works in the exhibition range from 1-2.5m in size. Prices £1,000-£4,000.

LUX is delighted to present a solo exhibition by London-based artist Tanoa Sasraku, featuring a moving image work O’ Pierrot, as part of our exhibition series. Employing the narrative of Pierrot the Clown, and the aesthetic of Kenneth Anger’s pioneering avant-garde, queer film Rabbit’s Moon, O’ Pierrot explores the quest for British identity from a lesbian, mixed-race, British perspective.
The exhibition will include the film O’ Pierrot, original costumes created by the artist, and other supporting materials and will be followed by a series of talks and events, further reflecting on the themes of the show.
Events related to the exhibition will take place at LUX (Waterlow Park Centre). More to be announced on lux.org.uk/whats-on

Art classes for children at Jacksons Lane in Highgate every Wednesday 4-5 pm for kids ages 6-10 yrs old. All sessions are specifically design to help children develop their artistic skills and knowledge by using a combination of mediums and techniques such as painting, drawing and printmaking. Drawing inspiration from contemporary artists as well as the great masters and the History of Art we will be exploring fundamental notions in fine art like composition, prospective, tone and texture while at the same time encouraging creative thinking and imagination and most importantly having fun!
So begins Once Upon a Mattress, a magical musical comedy journey into the world of Hans Christian Anderson’s beloved story of the princess and the pea.
But this isn’t your usual fairy tale, and princess Winnifred isn’t your usual fairy-tale princess. The Kingdom in which she seeks her prince seethes with a very adult problem, which won’t end until a very stubborn Queen Aggravain allows her son to marry Alas, he is his mother’s prince, and is any princess really good enough?
The 1959 classic Tony-nominated hit from Mary Rodgers–daughter legendary composer Richard Rodgers–returns to London for the first time in many moons!

ORGANIC ORIGINS. Photographic Artworks by Keith Hammond
Artist and photographer Keith Hammond’s first solo exhibition at the Highgate Gallery in London takes a radical departure to nature photography.
Entitled Organic Origins, the exhibition showcases 14 of Hammond’s landscape works. Mostly taken in north London’s open spaces, including Hampstead Heath and Waterlow Park close to the gallery, each has a different theme, from Japanese Maple (2014) to Water Iris Shoots (2015), Frost on Leaf and Grass (2015) and Arching Beech (2016).
In these large-scale works, Hammond’s intention is to explore the way we look at nature. Rather than use a single shot composed in the picturesque tradition, he takes a radical approach, using a grid system that investigates each landscape from multiple viewpoints. Hammond then incorporates these smaller images and details into each finished image, making works that are more than the sum of their parts, and which reward repeated viewing.
The artworks in Organic Origins also invite comparison with other artists such as Gilbert and George and David Hockney, whose workshops he has attended. Hammond’s use of “joiners” (the photographic term for smaller images that combine to compose a larger picture) itself questions the act of perception, inviting a re-evaluation of photographic truth and the single “decisive moment”. Instead, his artworks respond to the way the eye actually works in nature: sometimes near, sometimes far, always restless.
“We don’t look at a beautiful tree or a landscape for just a split second. We take our time, our eyes wander all over the scene, we take it all in; the leaves shake in the wind, the waters ripple, the clouds move, the light changes. Nothing is static.” Keith Hammond, 2019
Hammond also works on his images post-production. Several of the landscapes in Organic Origins have been digitally manipulated to bring out details that are unattainable within the normal colour spectrum. The intention is to gain a wider harmony in the image – and express a wider truth about the relationship between the viewer and the natural world.
“I want to connect with something essential about the natural world; something that is palpably already there if we just take the time to look.” Keith Hammond, 2019.
“I have had a passion for trees since I was a small girl. If you’re similarly attracted to their changing colours and shapes, please spend time at Keith Hammond’s exhibition at the Highgate Gallery. He is a remarkable photographer.” Dame Judi Dench, 2020.
The artworks are for sale. From a series of 50 images, the 14 limited-edition works in the exhibition range from 1-2.5m in size. Prices £1,000-£4,000.
