Voyages of discovery, the age of enlightenment, exploration and collection of the world is the starting point for this exhibition. Early works by artists, such as Sydney Parkinson and Ferdinand Bauer are magnificent for their capture of a specific observational time.
My own voyage of discovery started at a very early age, having grown up in the Mallee of Western New South Wales, I have always drawn and collected things.
I feel I know the animals differently to the artists of the First Fleet and Flinders voyage to Australia, and it is this I wish to communicate.
Capturing movement is a primary focus in my work at this point. It helps unlock anatomy and gives context and dimension to these wonderful animals.
It is profound to sit quietly and watch the near vertical digging action of an Echidna as it burrows with ancient digging claws for protection in the hard soil, its power to turn rocks and boulders bigger than itself and the surprise to observe it as an accomplished swimmer. A Platypus in the wild, will swim and dibble at muddy edges with its beak. They hoop through the water’s surface; a muscular machine able to turn and dive with the fluidity of the water in which they swim.
My work is a tilt towards those who have gone before. I admire the tenacity of those early artists and their ability to work in such trying conditions. I hope my work adds to the bigger story; The collective voyage of discovery.

Highgate Gallery is delighted to be hosting the first ever London show of German artist Susanna Storch, whose exhibition comes to us from the Zofia Weiss Gallery in Cracow.
Susanna’s striking, large-scale paintings in acrylic reveal randomly observed scenes of everyday life, in an urban context. Both people and buildings form her subject matter, and are given equal attention as we glimpse into the lives of the anonymous inhabitants of the city, whether it is Paris, Prague, London, Santiago de Chile, Valparaiso, Frankfurt, Tallin or her home town of Mainz. Windows create the border between public and private space, and offer almost no view of the rooms behind. This tension between the visible and the invisible give the paintings a narrative quality, as if one is watching a story about to unfold. Reflections on the window panes, and curtain drapery, add a fluidity to the harsh geometry of the architectural exteriors, as well as offering a reflection of life back to the viewer.
Susanna has been developing her style, which she describes as Figurative Realism, since studying in Munich and Mainz in the 1980s. She is also a portrait painter, and with both her Facades and her portraits, photographs form the basis of the pictures, which are worked up back in the studio. She is a prolific artist who has exhibited in over 50 shows and art fairs since 2001, and she has work in public museums as well as private collections.
Exhibition continues until 26 Sept.

A show of Original Prints from Adult Printmaking Classes at Hampstead School of Art & Print NW6 Studio, curated by printmaking tutor Theresa Pateman.
The definition of an Original Print, as opposed to Giclée or Inkjet Print, is that the artist/printmaker would have some part in hand-making the final image, working from a surface or matrix of metal, wood, plastic, or card. Once ink is rubbed or rolled in/onto this matrix, the image can be transferred and reproduced onto any other surface – in this case paper.
“Scratching and Etching” are processes used to create Intaglio Prints. All original prints, unlike Giclée Prints, require much more intervention and heartache grappling with these methods from start to finish.There are professionals and beginners alike within this collective, many of them are local to the area.
As a group they have shown at HSA, University Women’s Club, Millfield Art Centre, Burgh House & Kingsgate Workshops Gallery.
Techniques used in this show include: Drypoint, Etching, Mezzotints, Monoprints, Photo-etching and Relief Printing.

A show of Original Prints from Adult Printmaking Classes at Hampstead School of Art & Print NW6 Studio, curated by printmaking tutor Theresa Pateman.
The definition of an Original Print, as opposed to Giclée or Inkjet Print, is that the artist/printmaker would have some part in hand-making the final image, working from a surface or matrix of metal, wood, plastic, or card. Once ink is rubbed or rolled in/onto this matrix, the image can be transferred and reproduced onto any other surface – in this case paper.
“Scratching and Etching” are processes used to create Intaglio Prints. All original prints, unlike Giclée Prints, require much more intervention and heartache grappling with these methods from start to finish.There are professionals and beginners alike within this collective, many of them are local to the area.
As a group they have shown at HSA, University Women’s Club, Millfield Art Centre, Burgh House & Kingsgate Workshops Gallery.
Techniques used in this show include: Drypoint, Etching, Mezzotints, Monoprints, Photo-etching and Relief Printing.
Vic Fair (1938-2017) was a prolific British graphic designer who extensively worked on thousands of film publicity material over four decades and responsible for creating some iconic pieces including David Bowie in ‘The Man who fell to earth’ , the 60’s psychedelic ‘Here we go around the Mulberry Bush’ and ‘A View to a Kill’ part of the James Bond franchise.
There will be a number of original pieces on display and available showcasing Fair’s truly artistic wit, flair and innovative use of juxtaposition .
Fair’s work is held in private collections, the Victoria and Albert Museum and is shortly due to be displayed at the London Transport Museum ‘Hidden London’ exhibition.

Shadowman: Surrealist Artworks by Patrick Hourihan. 11– 24 October 2019
An exhibition about a Surrealist journey and its discoveries.
‘Inside Patrick Hourihan’s skull there nestles a mental coral reef alive with magical images of unknown dramas and unfamiliar conflicts. His private world is as intense, as complicated and as visually captivating as anything the ocean reefs have to offer. His technical wizardry allows him to explore this world of the unconscious and permits us to eavesdrop on its many perverse and contradictory scenes. His work has the special merit of being instantly recognisable as his. No other artist comes close to his imagery. An intrepid internal explorer, he is quite splendidly alone in his voyages of irrational beauty.’ Desmond Morris, April 2019.
This selection of paintings, drawings and boxed found objects represents the work of London-based Surrealist Patrick Hourihan. He has used automatic drawing and other channels of accidental discovery as a way to unlock the poetic potential and sense of the Marvellous that awaits in seemingly mundane and unexpected situations of everyday life. The spirit of the Shadowman exhibition seduces the viewer to look through newly opened windows with the dreamer’s innocent eye.
Patrick Hourihan is London born. He studied at the Watford School of Art. He has been creating imaginative worlds since childhood, leading to a love of Surrealism while at college. He was, for a number of years, an active member of the Surrealist London Action Group (SLAG).
