View from Duncton Hill, 1971. This panoramic view

View from Duncton Hill, 1971. This panoramic view has been posted in 3 sections so swipe to see the full painting.

In the 1970s, John returned repeatedly to Duncton Hill painting the sweeping view across the Rother Valley towards his Studio at Greenleaves in Grafham. The works were painted on the spot, he would pull up in his Landrover and walk along a path, clearing a spot a little way down the hill from which to paint. On one occasion he was spotted carrying a so called 'box of explosives' and wearing a visa to keep off the sun. Tracker dogs and police descended on mass to find him peacefully at his easel. ⁠
⁠
He became intimately connected to the scene varying his works from fairly naturalistic views reflecting the changing weather to abstracted compositions composed of broad contrasting brushstrokes delineating the field patterns and shadows of high summer. This work has remained in John's studio since it was first painted and it is wonderful to be showing it just a few miles from where it was conceived. ⁠

@jillberelowitz returns to the gallery this year w

@jillberelowitz returns to the gallery this year with a collection of new pieces. My favourite is her 'Pomegranate Tree' 🌳⁠ cast in bronze from the moulds taken from actual branches and fruit and then assembled by Jill. It is a remarkable piece, so delicate, the burnished pomegranates reflecting the sunshine. ⁠
⁠
The pomegranate is a hugely potent symbol in art and literature, first immortalised by Persephone. Lured into eating six pomegranate seeds by Hades, she was violated and condemned forever to living for six months a year in the underworld. A potent symbol of fertility, it is powerful in its duality: it embodies the light and the dark, death and blood and destruction, but also germination, the miracle of life, the tenderness of love, and the magical possibility of renewal.⁠
⁠
⁠Trees crop up regularly in Jill's work, including a piece commissioned for Shakespeare's New Place called 'His Mind's Eye'. Another work 'Tree of Life' was displayed in the gallery last year. Trees indicate themes of life and nature's ability to persevere and renew. The pomegranate demonstrates Jill's reflections on the cyclicality of life and the miraculous healing power of nature. ⁠

NEW ARTIST | Laura Cramer @cramerpaintings⁠
⁠
New exhibitor Laura renders her abstracted landscapes with freely applied brushstrokes and spontaneous use of colour. Her process is instinctive. She allows works to ruminate for several days, and often glimpses of familiar scenes begin to appear perhaps from a childhood spent in Ireland, exploring beach and rock pools, and drawing in the sand. ⁠
⁠
View her work online now or in the Moncrieff-Bray Summer Exhibition runs from 3rd of May - 15th of June. ⁠
