Lesley Dabson: A London Year
10 – 23 October 2025
Lesley Dabson describes herself as a “literal painter”. “When a scene has hooked my attention,
I can’t wait to capture it in oil”. And so it was at our first meeting: within minutes Dabson’s keen eye
has captured shapes, colours, textures; a particular vista or view in and from the HLSI building where
we meet.
In this exhibition, A London Year, Dabson shares city scenes throughout the seasons and in all lights.
She works in oil paint, both in her studio and en plein air directly in front of her subject.
Both practices bring different elements to her work. The immediacy of a changing scene, where
light, tides and weather influence a plein air piece and the calmer atmosphere of her studio where
she can take a more considered approach. “There is no difference in style or brushwork” Dabson
explains,“ but both aspects are important and complementary in my practice”.
Draughtsmanship is fundamental to Dabson’s practice. She is a member of the Hesketh Hubbard
Life Drawing Society, meeting weekly in the Mall Galleries to draw. The professional models, who
live and work in the city choose their own poses; Dabson works at speed and with accuracy. The
studies, primarily in charcoal on textured paper, are included in A London Year.
Dabson has lived in London for over forty years and her work is firmly rooted in the changing
seasons of the city.
In 2024 her work was included in Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, she is an elected member
of Chelsea Art Society and the Royal Society of Birmingham Artists.

Highgate Gallery in conjunction with The Wolf Collective is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by acclaimed British artist Adrian Hemming.
This exhibition brings together a significant body of work spanning Hemming’s decades-long career,
including oil paintings, prints, drawings, and watercolours.
Known for his meditative landscapes and luminous handling of colour, Hemming’s practice invites viewers
to reflect on how memory shapes perception—and how the land itself becomes a repository of both
personal and collective experience.
The Shape of Memory engages deeply with themes drawn from cultural history and philosophy.
Echoing Simon Schama’s Landscape and Memory, the exhibition explores landscape not merely
as a backdrop, but as a force through which identity, myth, and memory are forged. Hemming’s
work also resonates with both Nietzsche and Proust’s reflections on conscious remembering in the
body, where memory is not only stored in the mind but experienced viscerally—through rhythm,
sensation, and image.
As noted in the late Professor Denis Cosgrove’s essay on Hemming, his landscapes are “charged with the
geography of emotion,” operating between place and psyche. Hemming’s canvases often blur the boundary
between inner and outer worlds, rendering terrain that is at once real and remembered, abstract and intimate.
This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to engage with the full emotional and intellectual range of
Hemming’s work—a practice deeply rooted in the poetics of place and the subtle architectures of memory.

This exhibition is a celebration of the life and work of the painter, Joan Hodes. Born in Hampstead
in 1925, Joan studied first at the Slade School of Art, then Academy Julien in Paris and subsequently
as a pupil of Oskar Kokoschka, forging an art shaped by expressionism and a direct response to nature.
The exhibition at Highgate Gallery presents a range of her work to include oils as well as drawings,
pastels, and prints. It will allow visitors to see the development of her work from sketch through to
completed canvases and fully resolved watercolours. In addition, they will be able to view a variety
of her prints, including lino, etchings and dry points which show how even when working within a small
scale, through colour and line, she was able to create powerful and expressive images. For Joan, the
landscape with its changing weather and light, drawn from regular trips to Scotland, Wales, Ireland,
France, Italy and most recently Suffolk, was a re-occurring theme and the site for an immediate and
subjective response, full of energy and even rebellion.
Joan moved to Camden Town in the late eighties and subsequently to Hampstead where she lived for
over 30 years until her death in 2022. She regularly contributed to exhibitions at, amongst others,

This exhibition is a celebration of the life and work of the painter, Joan Hodes. Born in Hampstead
in 1925, Joan studied first at the Slade School of Art, then Academy Julien in Paris and subsequently
as a pupil of Oskar Kokoschka, forging an art shaped by expressionism and a direct response to nature.
The exhibition at Highgate Gallery presents a range of her work to include oils as well as drawings,
pastels, and prints. It will allow visitors to see the development of her work from sketch through to
completed canvases and fully resolved watercolours. In addition, they will be able to view a variety
of her prints, including lino, etchings and dry points which show how even when working within a small
scale, through colour and line, she was able to create powerful and expressive images. For Joan, the
landscape with its changing weather and light, drawn from regular trips to Scotland, Wales, Ireland,
France, Italy and most recently Suffolk, was a re-occurring theme and the site for an immediate and
subjective response, full of energy and even rebellion.
Joan moved to Camden Town in the late eighties and subsequently to Hampstead where she lived for
over 30 years until her death in 2022. She regularly contributed to exhibitions at, amongst others,
the Mercury Gallery, Leicester Gallery, Ben Uri Gallery and the Royal Academy.

Ariella Green trained at St Martin’s School of Art, Goldsmiths College and Manchester Metropolitan University and has exhibited with the Crafts Council, 62 Group of Textile Artists and New Fibre Art group. She is a member of the Contemporary Applied Arts (CAA) Gallery in London.
Library of Moments – these works mark for Ariella key experiences in all their light and shade. Through her work she responds to these experiences, often working on, or ‘mending’ them within the collage. She perceives that Nature is key: a stage for us as humans on which to tell our story and to hold to in moments of doubt. Her imaginary animals explore mysteries and unknown feelings. The birds change their wings as they journey. They fly above and can see more than is clear to us below. Animals, figures, birds and nature are washed with colour they dance towards an alternate space where much is possible and doubt and hope can live together. Current realities can get woven in unexpected ways into this storytelling.
Collage technique is essential to her creativity and at the core of her practice. Her subject matter becomes clearer through the process of cutting and assembling – “I am often surprised at where my making takes me. Since my early training,I have worked mostly with Textile Collage. However, for this exhibition, I have incorporated papier collé, building on my own photographs and found materials and using screen-print and hand painting. This shift from sewing machine to scissors and glue allows me more directness and spontaneity in my making. Photographs give me particular access to memories and events, allowing me to tell a story of moments, that become alive in their telling.

Ariella Green trained at St Martin’s School of Art, Goldsmiths College and Manchester Metropolitan University and has exhibited with the Crafts Council, 62 Group of Textile Artists and New Fibre Art group. She is a member of the Contemporary Applied Arts (CAA) Gallery in London.
Library of Moments – these works mark for Ariella key experiences in all their light and shade. Through her work she responds to these experiences, often working on, or ‘mending’ them within the collage. She perceives that Nature is key: a stage for us as humans on which to tell our story and to hold to in moments of doubt. Her imaginary animals explore mysteries and unknown feelings. The birds change their wings as they journey. They fly above and can see more than is clear to us below. Animals, figures, birds and nature are washed with colour they dance towards an alternate space where much is possible and doubt and hope can live together. Current realities can get woven in unexpected ways into this storytelling.
Collage technique is essential to her creativity and at the core of her practice. Her subject matter becomes clearer through the process of cutting and assembling – “I am often surprised at where my making takes me. Since my early training,I have worked mostly with Textile Collage. However, for this exhibition, I have incorporated papier collé, building on my own photographs and found materials and using screen-print and hand painting. This shift from sewing machine to scissors and glue allows me more directness and spontaneity in my making. Photographs give me particular access to memories and events, allowing me to tell a story of moments, that become alive in their telling.
