To Wooler and Back Again

 

An Exhibition of Landscapes and Cityscapes

By Jim Edwards and Natalie Bell

Mushroom Works

Last year Jim and Natalie returned to Newcastle, after a year living and painting in Northumberland, which inspired a more rural direction in both their painting.  Living in Wooler, on the edge of the Cheviots allowed them to immerse themselves in the landscape, to fully experience and explore the changing environment.

“Through the seasons, it was the agricultural changes to the landscape that were the most dramatic, and seemed to make my surroundings come alive. I was inspired by the contrast between the flat angular farmlands and the gentle roll of the hills, yet they flowed seemlessly together.” Natalie

“Being accustomed to the complex structures of the cityscape, it took some time to interpret the open landscape.  I became drawn to the manmade structures in the Northumberland landscape, of isolated farmhouses and the network of geometric walls stretched over hillsides.” Jim

Following their return, they reconnected with the city, the experiences of last year has inspired them, and allowed them to appreciated both environments from a new perspective.
This exhibition is a showcase of their new work, and a visual record of their experiences.Last year, Jim and Natalie returned to Newcastle, after a year spent in Northumberland, which inspired a more rural direction in both their painting.

Sarah Blood @ the 5th Annual Frieze Week

The fifth annual Frieze week exhibition from Plus Art Projects, and the inaugural exhibition at the Mayor’s Parlour showcases bold and unconventional works by 67 artists, straight from the artists’ studios.

The exhibition includes a souvenir from the Chapman Brothers’ controversial Hell sculpture, neon artworks by Tracey Emin, Gavin Turk and David Batchelor, taxidermy sculpture by Polly Morgan, a myriad of paintings which range in subject and scale, amongst many other works. Art works are numbered, not conventionally listed; the viewer encounters ambitious, enticing and occasionally challenging artworks, directly, without influence of authorship.  The wide range of content and making gives this exhibition a pinhole view of some of the most exciting and challenging contemporary art in London now.

Plus Art Projects is known for its cutting edge intuitive response to curatorial pluralism, across a wide range of mediums and diversity of views, which stand in relation to one single approach or method of interpretation. Diversity of methodology is stressed by the inclusion of over 60 established and emerging artists working in painting, sculpture, neon, photography, taxidermy, film, drawing, mixed media works and high end takes on appropriation.

Sue Arrowsmith, Peter Ashton Jones, Annie Attridge, Franko B, David Batchelor, Katrina Blannin, Sarah Blood, Sean Branagan, Tamsin Casswell, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Katy Cole, Mat Collishaw, Dan Coombs, Mark Croxford, Jason Davidge, Adam Dix, The DnA Factory, Dominic from Luton, Howard Dyke, Rosie Edwards, Tracey Emin, Damien Good, Nitin Goyal, Ken Graham, Tim Holmes, Mustafa Hulusi, Nick Jeffrey, Ben Kustow, Peter Lamb, David Leeson, Sarah Lucas, Dingbot Mclatchley, Declan McMullan, Harry Meadley, Tanya Millar, Simon Mitchell, Luke Morgan, Polly Morgan, Darren Murray, Morag Myerscough, Lyle Perkin, Benedict Radcliffe, Tabita Rezaire, Kerry Ryan, Yana Ryan, Giorgio Sadotti, Peter Saville, Mark Siebert, Michael Stubbs, Jessica Temple, Sarah Tulloch, Gavin Turk, Covadonga Vales, Harry Weller, Gillian Westgate, Alison Willoughby, Phill Wilson Perkin, David Wood, Elizabeth Wright.

Curated and produced by neonist Kerry Ryan, artist Declan McMullan and Jessica Temple

The nine post-private view acts include Gavin Turk, Dave Collishaw DJing, as well as a plethora of bands and music, promising another legendary Plus Art Projects Frieze week party.
