In this group show, Samantha Laub, Jason Sweidan and David Taylor present vibrant abstract paintings, influenced by abstract expressionism.  The paintings demonstrate distinctive emotional responses to the natural.

Samantha, Jason and David have been developing a set of unique styles in close interaction with each other – all with strong colour use.  The theme of present and remembered emotion displays their distinctive styles whilst drawing on a common theme.

Samantha’s works begin as spontaneous outpouring of energy and emotion that she then develops and refines into finished pieces.  Her paintings are visceral, full of movement and texture.

Jason applies oil on canvases to construct and deconstruct images that reflect elements of nature.  His paintings are predominantly fluid, physical and textured using gravity to allow the paint to evolve.

David’s work reflects memories of the natural in which strong colour use is combined with loose natural references that evoke a sense of fluidity, water or landscape.

All three artists are local to the exhibition and originally met at the Hampstead School of Art (HSOA).

Samantha is Creative Director of Gorgeous Brewery based in Highgate and also works in advertising, as well as being a painter.  She has exhibited at a number of HSOA exhibitions and was also shortlisted in the National Open Art exhibition in 2016.

Jason works in investor relations as well as being an artist.  He recently held his first solo art exhibition and has exhibited at several HSOA summer exhibitions and the Green and Stone summer exhibition 2019.  His work is held in private collections in the UK, USA, Spain and Bermuda.

David is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and Professor Emeritus at the University of Brighton.  He is a leading academic social theorist and writer as well as a painter and sociologist of art.

Exhibition continues until 21 November

Night at the Museum: Climate Change 

Professor Joanna Haigh, Imperial College, London

The world is warming faster than has ever been observed in the past. Overwhelmingly scientists are of the opinion that this is largely due to the effect of gases released into theatmosphere by human activities. How can we be sure of this? And what can we say about the future? This talk will look at the scientific evidence for climate change and discuss how increasing concentrations of ‘greenhouse gases’ create an imbalance in the Earth’s energy budget with impacts on temperature, sea level and weather patterns. We will see how physics is used to construct computer models to investigate past and future climate and consider what needs to be done for the world to avoid dangerous levels of warming.

Joanna Haigh is Professor of Atmospheric Physics and, until her recent retirement, Co-Director of the Grantham Institute – Climate Change and the Environment, at Imperial College London. For five years prior to that she was the Head of Imperial’s Physics Department. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society, the Institute of Physics and the City & Guilds Institute and an Honorary Fellow of Somerville College, Oxford and of the Royal Meteorological Society of whichshe is also a past-President. She has been a Lead Author for the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and shares a Nobel Peace Prize with several hundred others for that work. She has been awarded prizes for her work on the interface between atmospheric science and solar physics and was appointed CBE for her services to physics in 2013.

Talks take place on Mondays at 7pm in the  School Museum on Southwood Lane (N6 5EE). Refreshments, including wine, are available from 6.30 pm and afterwards.
