Adjacent to Waterlow Park where LUX is based is Highgate Cemetery, one of London’s finest cemeteries and the final resting place of a number of extraordinary people. During the lockdown when visiting the cemetery is difficult, LUX, in partnership with the Cemetery is organising a series of online virtual visits with thinkers and artists reflecting on life and work of some of the inspirational people buried there.
The first event is a discussion on the life and legacy of Claudia Jones (1915–1964), the pioneering and inspirational Afro-Caribbean radical intellectual, dedicated communist, and feminist who is buried in Highgate Cemetery close to Karl Marx. We will be joined by Carole Boyce Davies, Professor of Africana Studies and English at Cornell University and Claudia Jones scholar, author of Left of Karl Marx: The Political Life of Black Communist Claudia Jones (2008) and editor of a reader of Jones’ writing Claudia Jones: Beyond Containment (2010) and artist Rhea Storr, who in her recent film works has investigated carnival as a space of both celebration and protest, exploring their social structures, costume and language.
We are pleased to share the recorded conversation with Carole Boyce Davies and Rhea Storr on our website. The conversation is also accompanied by Rhea Storr’s recent work Bragging Rights (2019).

What’s in a Jug? Paintings and etchings by Jason Sumray 11-24 September 2020
For his Highgate Gallery show ‘What’s in a Jug?’ Jason Sumray brings together a series of oil paintings and etchings that are invented Still Lifes. He takes ordinary objects and gives them new meanings; grouping and juxtaposing them as if they are protagonists in table-top dramas.
The series began with an interest in images where the human presence was still strongly felt but figures were absent. Drawers are half open, stools and chairs empty, plates, cutlery, jugs and serviettes left on the dinner table. Jason’s purpose was not to create a direct or distinguishable narrative, but rather to offer triggers that evoke potential meaning. In time, he has become more concerned with a different kind of ‘narrative’ played out in his imaginary theatre world of objects; where, in the tradition of Still Life, the things seem to exist autonomously regardless of human involvement, and what is important is their relationship to one another and to the empty space.
Several paintings in the exhibition deal with a preoccupation with the theme of ‘Spilt Strawberries and Cream’; images that were begun as a response to Chardin’s quietly evocative ‘Basket of Wild Strawberries’ (1761). Jason felt he wanted to upset Chardin’s delicate and finely balanced conical construction.
Jason’s interest in the language of light and dark has been extended into the discipline of etching using solely black ink. He loves the blackness of the medium and how it’s possible to play with the way the forms emerge or disappear into the darkness, where edges are lost and then re-emerge. He etches from his paintings; they inform each other.
Jason Sumray lives and paints in North London. He has exhibited in various galleries in London and elsewhere and has been shortlisted for a number of Open Competitions. He won the Discerning Drawing Bursary in 2011 and was joint winner of the Marshwood Arts Award in 2017. His series of paintings based on Samuel Beckett’s ‘Krapp’s Last Tape’ were exhibited as part of the inaugural International Beckett Festival, Enniskillen, NI, in 2012. In 2016 his Fisherman paintings were shown in the Fishing Museum in Cromer. Jason gained his Masters in Fine Art from the Sir John Cass School of Art and was awarded Distinction for his research on the nature of symbolism and metaphor in paintings. In 2016 he was proud to curate the exhibition of paintings of his friend and mentor Ron Delavigne at the Highgate Gallery.

In time, he has become more concerned with a different kind of ‘narrative’ played out in his imaginary theatre world of objects; where, in the tradition of Still Life, the things seem to exist autonomously regardless of human involvement, and what is important is their relationship to one another and to the empty space.
Several paintings in the exhibition deal with a preoccupation with the theme of ‘Spilt Strawberries and Cream’; images that were begun as a response to Chardin’s quietly evocative ‘Basket of Wild Strawberries’ (1761). Jason felt he wanted to upset Chardin’s delicate and finely balanced conical construction.
Jason’s interest in the language of light and dark has been extended into the discipline of etching using solely black ink. He loves the blackness of the medium and how it’s possible to play with the way the forms emerge or disappear into the darkness, where edges are lost and then re-emerge. He etches from his paintings; they inform each other.
Jason Sumray lives and paints in North London. He has exhibited in various galleries in London and elsewhere and has been shortlisted for a number of Open Competitions. He won the Discerning Drawing Bursary in 2011 and was joint winner of the Marshwood Arts Award in 2017. His series of paintings based on Samuel Beckett’s ‘Krapp’s Last Tape’ were exhibited as part of the inaugural International Beckett Festival, Enniskillen, NI, in 2012. In 2016 his Fisherman paintings were shown in the Fishing Museum in Cromer. Jason gained his Masters in Fine Art from the Sir John Cass School of Art and was awarded Distinction for his research on the nature of symbolism and metaphor in paintings. In 2016 he was proud to curate the exhibition of paintings of his friend and mentor Ron Delavigne at the Highgate Gallery.

What’s in a Jug? Paintings and etchings by Jason Sumray 11-24 September 2020
For his Highgate Gallery show ‘What’s in a Jug?’ Jason Sumray brings together a series of oil paintings and etchings that are invented Still Lifes. He takes ordinary objects and gives them new meanings; grouping and juxtaposing them as if they are protagonists in table-top dramas.
The series began with an interest in images where the human presence was still strongly felt but figures were absent. Drawers are half open, stools and chairs empty, plates, cutlery, jugs and serviettes left on the dinner table. Jason’s purpose was not to create a direct or distinguishable narrative, but rather to offer triggers that evoke potential meaning.

Jonathan and Ariella Green: A Shared Landscape. 2-15 October 2020
In this joint show, their first in Highgate, Ariella and Jonathan Green are showing recent work expressing the idea of a shared landscape. They both make images including landscape in their work, but the theme of the show also applies to the shared landscape of their life together, their experience of living and travelling, creating a home and family; aesthetic correspondences that come from making art, looking and working together, and sharing ideas and materials.
There are definite contrasts as well as connections. Ariella creates textile collages filled with layers of memory from childhood history, family and mythic narrative, peopled with figures and animals. Landscape and other elements from her origin in Israel are combined with those from life in England. Recently she includes an increasing response to the international situation; issues around reaching out to each other across cultures and experience, the possibilities in diversity and need for contact as well as dangers in misunderstanding.
Jonathan’s oil paintings commonly begin with the experience of a state of being in landscape – felt moments and a sense of self. During work on the painting these moments link in reverie to other aspects of emotion, relationships and memory. The language of the paintings is particularly the use of colour and form linked to emotion and thought. Some of these landscapes come from a time following the loss of his parents in 2014 and 2016, marking their passing with memory.
Ariella Green is a textile artist who has exhibited widely in the UK and abroad. She trained at St Martin’s School of Art, Goldsmiths College and Manchester University and has exhibited with the Crafts Council, “62” textile and “New Fibre Art” groups. She is a member of the Contemporary Applied Arts (CAA) Gallery in London ‘representing some of the most talented and skilled applied artists working in Britain today.’ (www.caa.org.uk/). www.ariellagreen.com.
Jonathan Green took Art at A level and a History of Art Tripos at Cambridge University before attending Art school in Paris and Winchester as time out from medical studies. He is now a Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in Manchester and has continued painting throughout his medical career, recently exhibiting more regularly. He has also combined experience in child development, psychology and art into writing and lecturing on an ‘interpersonal approach to painting’ (for instance – DOI: 10.1192/apt.bp.108.005751).
Events – ‘A Shared Landscape Shared’ Sundays 4th and 11th October, 6.30pm-8.30pm
Two evenings of interaction and reflection on themes from the show, with talks, poetry, and more:
‘Beauty Gives Me Courage’ – art and resilience in difficult times.
‘The Symbolization of Love’ – art and empathy, loss and renewal.
Details and tickets: hlsi.net/highgate-gallery £10 each (£7 for HLSI members).

Jonathan and Ariella Green: A Shared Landscape. 2-15 October 2020
In this joint show, their first in Highgate, Ariella and Jonathan Green are showing recent work expressing the idea of a shared landscape. They both make images including landscape in their work, but the theme of the show also applies to the shared landscape of their life together, their experience of living and travelling, creating a home and family; aesthetic correspondences that come from making art, looking and working together, and sharing ideas and materials.
There are definite contrasts as well as connections. Ariella creates textile collages filled with layers of memory from childhood history, family and mythic narrative, peopled with figures and animals. Landscape and other elements from her origin in Israel are combined with those from life in England. Recently she includes an increasing response to the international situation; issues around reaching out to each other across cultures and experience, the possibilities in diversity and need for contact as well as dangers in misunderstanding.
Jonathan’s oil paintings commonly begin with the experience of a state of being in landscape – felt moments and a sense of self. During work on the painting these moments link in reverie to other aspects of emotion, relationships and memory. The language of the paintings is particularly the use of colour and form linked to emotion and thought. Some of these landscapes come from a time following the loss of his parents in 2014 and 2016, marking their passing with memory.
