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).

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

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).
