Urban Art July 8th & 9th Brixton

Three of our members are exhibiting at this amazing open-air event on the weekend of 8th and 9th July.  Centered around Josephine Avenue, you can enjoy work of huge diversity and the same can be said of the prices!

Martin Langford will be there.  His Image 'Ride of your Life' won the People's Choice Award at the Royal Society of Painters/Printmakers this year, and 'Nucleus' has been chosen by the Urban Art team for use in their advertising. Congratulations Martin!

We are happy Theresa Pateman is participating again this year.  Her fresh quirky images are very popular and many of you will know her work from the Royal Academy. This year she has been focused on the production of exquisite 3-D theatre models but has managed to find time to make some new and wonderful work. I.e this emotive depiction of the Oxo tower seen from Gabriel's Wharf.......

Last, but certainly not least, is Julie Sullock with her exciting non-objective vibrant and colourful images.  We love her painting - 

'Red Stripe'

and her print....................

'Four Dots'

It will be a wonderful way to spend a Summer weekend (we pray for good weather) so please put it in your diaries! Entrance is FREE

 ....or as a card.....

Kit is also bringing along his crazy wood engraving (below)

His lush green 'Eden'

and many more.......

Barbara Jackson's images will also be on sale.  Her strangely beautiful 'Winter Tree' may not be seasonal but is nevertheless desirable!

And if, when wandering in the 17th century styled knot garden, you want something to remind you of the outing, how about her enchanting image below?

You might like Julie Sullock's evocative images.  Particularly.....

 or a picture celebrating the arrival of Spring.....

Or something that is just very cool like this....

or this......

There will also be an opportunity to buy paintings and prints celebrating scenery and greenery.  Julie's 'Richmond Tree' (below) is one amongst many inspirational treats for your delight.

Our Jenny Ronay, Kit Boyd and Julie Sullock are all taking part......

'Paris' by Jenny Ronay

JENNIFER RONAY studied Fine Art at Nottingham College of Art and at Goldsmiths College.  She taught art in various London schools and Further Education colleges and found teaching was, not only an education in itself, but immensely rewarding and a lot of fun!

Jennifer uses her creative skills across a wide spectrum of media and techniques which include painting and sculpture as well as printmaking (her main form of expression) She is currently exploring ‘the city’.  How we see it, experience it, survive it, live in it. She finds printmaking, with its versatility a perfect vehicle for her current exploration of city landscapes and life.

100 Barrington Road, Brixton SW9 7JF

KIT BOYD – Kit’s art explores our relationship with landscape and our place in nature. Recent etchings have been primarily influenced by Samuel Palmer; they explore modern landscapes in an antique style and are sometimes populated with figures using modern technology. He follows in the British romantic tradition, and is particularly influenced by Neo-romantic artists of the 1940s and the Surrealist movement. He shows at Greenwich Printmakers, Southbank Printmakers, Skylark Galleries and the Rebecca Hossack Gallery in Charlotte Street.

Etching by Kit Boyd

JULIE SULLOCK‘s work is concerned with the layering of colour to create different moods. She uses colour to produce different perspectives when constructing a work. Julie’s work is mainly abstract but it is loosely based on parts of buildings, city lights and landscapes. She likes to combine different mediums such as Etching and Screen printing and watercolour with gouache to create different qualities within the picture. Julie is a member of Southbank Printmakers where more of her prints can be viewed.

Screenprint by Julie Sullock

Don't forget....you can always see more of their work at our gallery!

Drawn to Abstraction - Julie Sullock

Julie Sullock's work is well known and admired for its gorgeous liquid feathery colours and she is currently exhibiting at The Stables Gallery in Twickenham.  Not long to go now - the exhibition ends on 13th April.  Of course, you can always see Julie's work at Southbank Printmaker's Gallery but if you are at a loose end in the Twickenham area or feel like a foray in to the exciting world of abstract art - The Stables Gallery is the place to be.

Julie achieves a unique and exciting image (see below) using the screen printing.  You can find out more about how she does it by clicking here  Having said that - well...... you can discover the process - but may have a bit of a way to go!

This particular image is not in the exhibition although similar prints are.  Please do contact us, either via this blog or at the gallery if you are interested in this one in particular.
