A short newsletter bringing ideas in creativity, sources of inspiration, galleries and artists + any other valuable snippets on which I stub my toe!
1. Under the Hammer
e.g. Sotheby’s,
The big auction houses, Sotheby’s and Christies, send out wonderful newsletters each week. Given their close ties to the USA, they often bring examples and insights or work from that particular part of the world. Consider signing up?
2. New Discoveries: Emily Patrick
Every now and again an artist passes my line of vision and things are never quite the same, and life is better. A week or so back I caught the review in The Week of Emily Patrick’s show. The show has ended. Then thank goodness for a wonderful downloadable catalogue. At college we were always encouraged to seek out the work of the artists and make meaning of it for ourselves and in our own practice. Thus it is with Emily’s work. This link might give you some sense of my excitement… https://emilypatrick.com/show.php
3. I’m Backing British*
Bernard Jacobson Gallery presents a group show of paintings, prints, sculptures and works on paper by British artists. This gallery/organisation is a powerhouse of all that is wonderful about British art (1900 – year to date) British Art : Part 1
4. London Boy: Leon Kossoff.
Gallery Piano Nobile have published a fab piece on Kossoff.
Link: https://www.piano-nobile.com/artists/1165-leon-kossoff/ Frank Auerbach (whom I worship) was a close friend and artistic peer of Kossoff’s over 70 years. They met at St. Martin's School of Art in the late 1940s, both studied under David Bomberg, shared a studio for a time, and were known for their thick, heavy impasto techniques. Bomberg to be featured here soon.
5. Education Slot #self-improvement.
Any artist-printmaker that opens her promotional round robin with
‘Last week I visited the John Piper exhibition at Wiltshire Museum in Devizes - what a treat! It is a fabulous exhibition and definitely worth going to.’ Gets my attention. I claim bragging rights for knowing and working with hannah@hannahcantellowstudio.co.uk
So here is a link to her programs workshop and such.
You know what? I might sign on for one of those drawing trips
