Happy Birthday #cbgartist @johngreenwoodartist who exhibited with us in #Tellingtales & #Inthefuture curated by @rosalindnldavis 🎂🌟🥳

Greenwood imprisons his symmetrical creations in confined and claustrophobic spaces. In doing so he brings a mixture of #humour and #pathos to their pointless wrigglings & fumblings, squashings and balloonings. Underlying their absurdity there is also a sense of outrage rumbling away. Of a recent painting, El Dorado, Greenwood writes: ‘As I worked on this I felt its heart lay in this post Thatcherite/Reaganite world where we're meant to function as desire machines, mindlessly consuming the world.’ The symbolic still lives painted for the newly prosperous Dutch Republic were intended to warn of the moral perils of this compulsion to consume and flaunt. In Greenwood’s #paintings, dysfunctional desire & material excess are similarly exposed; just this time it is as disorderly, pretty, playful, repulsive things that over-extend themselves with limpid gestures within clinical confines.
🌟
Born in Leeds, 1959, John Greenwood graduated from the @rca_painting in 1990, where he received the Cite Internationale Paris residency award, the Burston Award and the Midland Bank purchase award.

Solo exhibitions incl: Jason Rhodes Gallery, #London (1995 & 1998), Galerie Helmut Pabst, #Frankfurt (2000) &
Europaische Zentral Galerie, Frankfurt (2002).Following a career break, recent shows have included; a solo show,
‘Being John Greenwood’ in 2014, curated by @juanbolivarstudio2112 @canvasandcreamse23 Gallery, London and group shows in 2015. In 2015 he won the Bronze Award at the 2nd #NanjingInternationalFestival and an article ‘John Greenwood’, published in the Autumn Turps Magazine.John had a one man show at the Turps Gallery, London. He took part in Frances Woodley’s show at the Bay Gallery, Cardiff, ‘Models and Materialities’. In 2017 he was included in ‘Earth, Wind and Fire’ at the Griffin Gallery in West London. In 2018, John showed at the @londonartfair with Turps Gallery. He has also been Artist in Residence for @cglartschool & recently showed in a group show @richardhellergallery which included another #Cbgartist @oli.epp

In loving memory of #paulbenjamins @paulben63 whose 70th birthday would have been today. His cancer diaries were part of #MemyselfandI curated by @rosalindnldavis (images 2&3 “The pieces were from the last series of work Paul created when he was diagnosed with #terminalcancer, they chart his reaction to his illness, providing him with a way to process his #prognosis. They became a #record of his journey, documenting #positive & #negative experiences.
More than 120 of these paper works are #published in a book ‘This Time it’s for real.” produced as a #limitededition of 200 at a cost of £300 per book with all profits going to @stchrishospice who cared for Paul at the end of his life. Jaqui Benjamins
💕
The print is also available to buy (framed) @£600 (40.5x32.5cm)
Paul “My work is influenced by where I am from, my surroundings & experiences. I am a #Londoner, & my work has often been influenced by living in the #city. My work has fluctuated between being #semiabstract & having #figurative aspects. I try to create an atmosphere, something people might relate to, somewhere they might have visited or a feeling experienced. I take lots of photos & occasionally include these in my work, but I usually just use these as a reference point to create a #memory of an #experience. I want my work to evoke a #thought or spark a memory. I want to be able to provoke a reaction”

Paul (1950-2015) grad @Camberwell School of Art & RCA. He had a no of #soloshows @Galerie Pascal Gabert, Paris & with Thumb Gallery, Jill George Gallery, Advanced Graphics, London, as well as Lander Bank, Austria Champagne Vraken, Galerie Wam & Brighton University.

@heatherley_school_of_art Online Lecture: Curator and Artists @rosalindnldavis & #cbgartist @justinjhibbs in Conversation about their creative collaborations with @annamcnay
Friday 31 July 6.30pm.
Free
🌟

The Heatherley #GuestLecturer programme continues with the 6th & final in a series of #online in conversation events with artists Rosalind Davis & Justin Hibbs, who have also contributed #professionaldevelopment talks to the programme, speak about their work to #artwriter & #journalist Anna McNay.
🌟

Davis and Hibbs are both artists who, over the past 2 years, have been collaborating on a sequence of #sitespecific #installations, which have been exhibited in several alternative iterations, responding to the context of seven different gallery spaces and their audiences.
@noformatgallery @sevenoakskaleidoscope @arthouse1_london @the_foundrygallery @the_koppel_project and in @richard_ducker curated programme @coffeeismycupoftea and @jgm_gallery

Both artists also have independent art careers and are a couple who share a studio, where the inevitable questions arise about how, why and where to set #boundaries.

Davis’ and Hibbs’ collaborations bring together different aspects of their respective artists’ practices to create transformative and experiential installations. Within these artistic collaborations neither artist’s work can be negotiated without experiencing reflections of the ‘other’ within them.

In conversation with McNay, Davis and Hibbs will introduce their backgrounds with their independent art practices, as well as what it means to both consider and let the ‘other’ in and #collaborate. This conversation has wider associations within our current political & social context, which has been central to the discourse accompanying their collaborative projects.

Link in the biog above
The talk will also be available for one week only on the Heatherleys Youtube from next Monday.

$Happy birthday today to the fabulous #Michaelanettell who is a talented artist who showed in our exhibit #makeshift curated by @rosalindnldavis and has also been part of the gallery team designing the online / hard copy invites for the exhibitions and the beautiful online catalogues created for each exhibit. 🌟 Michaela Nettell is interested in the layering of nature & technology in the built environment - the lines and grids imposed upon the natural world in attempts to contain, order or define it. Model for a crystal geometry is a structure of variable form that makes reference to Cedric Price’s #SnowdonAviary in #London, #FreiOtto’s #Grossvoliere in Munich and the #utopian #architectural visions of #BrunoTaut and the #GlassChain group. Four hinged, pyramidal modules unfold into multiple possible configurations. Their alternately clear, printed and mirrored glass panels reveal scenes of the aviaries while reflecting and refracting the sculpture's own surroundings, creating an illusory space in which the distinction between inside and outside is blurred. 🌟 Michaela Nettell studied #Animation at Norwich School of Art & Design and the RCA. She has exhibited in galleries throughout Europe and the US including: The Tank, New York; Kunstzentrum Z33, Hasselt, Belgium; Gimpel Fils, London; and MyOwnGallery, Milan. Moving image screenings include: AIEFF, Melbourne; Tulca Festival of Visual Arts, Galway; and Artists Television Access, San Francisco. In 2012 she was commissioned by Artsadmin to make a permanent installation for the Town Hall Hotel in Bethnal Green. Recent exhibitions include: ‘The path that runs across’ at Bond House Gallery and Chelsea College of Arts, London; & ‘The Starry Messenger’ at VOID, Derry & the Irish Film Institute, Dublin. www.michaela-nettell.com$
