Join Jill at her purpose-built studio in the Surrey Hills close to the Kent and Sussex borders, for an exciting day of painting or drawing. Jill achieved her MA in Drawing at the University of the Arts London in 2009 after being awarded the Rootstein Hopkins Foundation student of the year award after her BA at Wimbledon School of Art. The Foundation saw in Jill her love of skill and craft when making her work, which she believes allows artists to express their ideas – without the skills, artists are often frustrated with their own limitations.

Spending a day with Jill you could paint or draw a portrait from a photograph with oils or pencils, or you could also learn how to draw and paint from a life model. One of Jill’s specialisms is portrait and life work and she has often worked to commission, as well as creating a series of portraits of students.

Jill’s work also includes other subject matter such as interiors, depicting hair, nature and a recurring theme is working from old photographs, both in pencil and oils. If you are interested in still life, interiors or expressing your ideas, or portfolio building, a concentrated day with Jill will improve your skills and build your confidence.

Jill has taught adults at all levels of ability from beginners to professional artists, and she is passionate about teaching and really enjoys it. You will mainly paint with oils, gouache and graphite pencil, but also you may enjoy sketching in charcoal or working in coloured pencils.

Amalgamation 

Curated by Alexander Hinks

Artists:

Wendy Anderson, John Bunker, Gary Colclough, Dan Coombs, Will Cruickshank, Robert Dunt, Alison Goodyear, Tom Hemming, Alexander Hinks, Juliette Losq, Anna Lytridou, Sirpa Pajunen-Moghissi, Anna Reading and Thomas J Ridley.

Amalgamation is a group exhibition of established and emerging artists whose practices range across the spectrum of art from figurative to abstraction. The diverse artworks unite through their organic nature and use of mixed media, multi-perspectives and contrasting forms. The varied exhibits of installation, painting, collage, sculpture and video aim to engage the viewer with subtle connections between the works.

Tom Hemming, Thomas J Ridley and Dan Coombs practices are concerned with figurative abstraction. Hemming produces multi-perspective paintings of his friends and family that show the passage of time made visible by a lack of stillness. Made especially for the exhibition Ridley’s metamorphosing bronze figures with animal heads sit on hard edge plinths. Coombs creates collage paintings, which unite his figures with dream landscape worlds. The human encounters in his pieces are charged with a mysterious, symbolic power.

The next amalgamation in the exhibition embodies organic elements from landscapes to raw materials. Juliette Losq creates ink collages and installations on paper that verge between the urban world and the wilderness. The vibrant golden halos pieces by Sirpa Pajunen-Moghissi are filled with nature but devoid of any human presence. Gary Colclough’s masterfully crafted works are a geometric assemblage of old world imagery using oil paint and high-end timber.

As the show evolves, organic and synthetic materials are used alongside each other. Anna Lytridouuses oil paint on linen with steel structure to make an expansion of two-dimensional painting into the physical space, giving a physical presence to the individual painting beyond the illusory picture plane. Will Cruickshank’s woven sculptural pieces are driven through the process of their mechanical creation, resulting in stunning patterns. Anna Reading sculptures appear as relics from an unknown future with her varied use of materials ranging from bitumen to oyster shells. John Bunker produces dynamic, playful painted collages that incorporate found objects. Wendy Anderson will be exhibiting mix media pieces, which fuse ancient pigments from Roman times with magazine montages.

The final artists in the exhibition are concerned with abstract painting through different forms and technologies. Alexander Hinks has created an expanded painting that leaves the canvas for the surrounding space, immersing the viewer. Robert Dunt will be exhibiting a series of painting with vastly contrasting forms. His artwork is inspired by music and exploring the use of colour in a contemporary context.Upstairs in the gallery Alison Goodyear will be projecting one of her virtual reality paintings onto silk. Goodyear’s paintings explore the ideas and possibilities of how an artwork might intervene in the ‘normal’ regime of vision, whilst questioning the materiality of paint and process, whether that be through working with physical or virtual paint. 

Exhibition dates:

18^th– 27^thOctober 2019, Open Fridays to Sundays 2-6pm.

Part of the evolving Prosaic series, PROSAIC MOSAIC is a group exhibition of paintings to be held at Bloc Projects, Sheffield, 22 – 26 Oct.

The exhibition features small works from over fifty artists. Seen together, the varied works form a larger picture – a mosaic of contemporary painting practice.  

Using a prosaic definition of painting – ‘pigment on substrate’ – has allowed the curators to showcase a diverse range of approaches to making. The way the work is displayed will trigger connections between the paintings.

The show brings together work by noted painters from across the UK, Ireland and beyond with artists from the curators’ home base in Sheffield. The curators are keen to present exciting work regardless of the artists’ perceived status. Equal standing is given to work from artists at all career stages, from students to prize-winners.

The exhibition programme includes a Painters’ Forum event which will be open to the public, providing a platform for critique and conversation. This will be held on Saturday 26 Oct between 2-4pm.
