Human Nature: Veronika Buko

@ ONCA Gallery
Admn: Free

An exhibition of drawings, paintings and prints exploring the conflicted nature of human life.

“Figurative portraits reveal the fragmentary often fractured aspects of character and conversation, while the landscapes imagine dream-like places of tranquillity, safety and peace. The work is made with emphasis on the subconscious. Character and place are constructed from feeling and emotion, rather than an apparent logic of thought, and thereby may be found to hold a more significant truth?” – Veronika Buko

100 Mile Conversation: Screening and Discussion

@ ONCA Gallery
Admn: £3 - £6

In spring 2013 Nathan Burr and Louis Buckley walked from Winchester to Beachy Head, the length of the South Downs Way.

The 100 mile journey was shared with everyone from farmers to therapists to discuss the connections between landscape, myth, mental health and end of life issues. This film documents the chain of conversations that took place over their nine-day journey.

ABOUT NATHAN

Nathan is primarily interested in the creation of public and personal rituals which help facilitate the forming of individual and collective identities in relation to a particular place, space and time. Nathan studied Design Interactions at the RCA where Nathan developed an ethnographic public engagement practice that uses film, landscape and hairdressing as storytelling mediums.

Ivy Rihlampfu

@ ONCA Gallery
Admn: Free

Solo exhibition of enamel plate portraits by South African based artist Ivy Rihlampfu.

Ivy documents the everyday heroines she come across frequently. She says:

“Some are found selling vegetable, sweets and fruits in the streets of Johannesburg – I’m drawn to their grace and humility. The women I document embody strength, courage and effort but often their actions are unseen or not taken into account. I’m motivated to uncover these actions, by taking a closer look and learning more about them. I’m interested to realize more about these women as I portray them in my artwork, from painting on the enamel plates to unrefined sketches as I sit and talk with them about their on-going daily labour. Currently I am documenting these women on different types of enamel plate using oil paints. Through more detection, gaining insight to these women, I am stimulated to celebrate them and to investigate what it means to be a black modern-day woman in contrast to the women I document.”

‘Flanker’ sets to embody the varying definitions of an arts practice. Including the works of six contrasting artists from the same MA Fine Art course, the exhibition will offer individual ideas in a collective spirit. What is it to be on the flank, to flank, to be a flanker, to exist in the margins? Each artist in this exhibition works within the sidelines. Be it exploring contemporary ideas around gender and identity, giving a voice to the under dog, or by poking fun at the very institution of art itself, each artist works within the sidelines. They come together in this collective strategy to flank and challenge the wider sphere of accepted mainstream experience using sculpture, installation, drawing, and painting.

Jan Anderzén is a Tampere based artist producing experimental music and creating images with a multitude of techniques. He layers plotted and formulated elements with splashes of accident and contingency. He’s usually focusing on themes roaming the foggy borderlands of wild and domesticated.

For the past 20 years Jan Anderzén has been the main pilot of the band Kemialliset Ystävät. Tomutonttu is a creature who looks after all the dust and in a solo mode Anderzén makes the music of Tomutonttu audible. Anderzén is actively performing and giving workshops around the world and his discography is a labyrinth reflecting the nature of his art.

Landscape Painting with Hester Berry

@ New England House
Admn: £75 (£50 for students)

Affordable Plein Air Painting Workshop
Led by artist Hester Berry, this one-day workshop will offer a small group of students the chance to paint in a beautiful rural setting, Barcombe Mills under Hester’s expert tuition.

Direct observation and time spent outside is an essential aspect of landscape painting and we will look at how to approach sketching and note-taking, and how to overcome the limitations of working en plein air; all abilities are welcome.

You will need a folding chair or stool, a packed lunch and suitable clothes, including a sun hat. Oil painting materials, easels and supports will be provided, although you are welcome to bring your own additional materials.

We will meet at 9:45 at New England House, Brighton for a short talk in the Draw studio before setting out for Barcombe Mills. If you have a car and would like to offer other attendees a lift do let us know on booking. We will be asking anybody without a car to make a small contribution towards petrol for our drivers.

The workshop costs £75 (£50 for students) and must be booked in advance by visiting www.draw-brighton.co.uk or by emailing info@draw-brighton.co.uk.
