18 ingénu/e magazine - south downs and high weald : issue 17 visual arts A new era for the Ashdown Gallery in Forest Row

Juliet Townsend and her husband Jacob have rescued the Ashdown Gallery from closure at the eleventh hour. Owner Cathie Hubert, who was selling the gallery to move back to France, was let down at the last minute by a potential buyer and it seemed the gallery would have to close. By chance Juliet saw Cathie’s notice on the Forest Row Community Facebook page and stepped up, and has now taken over the gallery. Cathie tells us “After 9 years of running the gallery I am going back to France. Next year I will organise art holidays with different tutors in a lovely farmhouse by the sea, with gites that people can also rent near the artist village of Pont Aven, where Gauguin worked and lived. I will also open a gallery in time when I find the right place.” We met Juliet at Taffels café restaurant in Forest Row, as she was on the cusp of taking the leap into being a gallery owner. Previously an international project manager, she has been a lifelong lover of all artistic genres. The opportunity arose, and with her husband’s backing she took the leap. Juliet has a very dry sense of humour which I’m sure will serve her well juggling the various vagaries that owning a gallery can throw up. They have two daughters, Fifi and Beth, both of whom are interested in the arts; Fifi in portraiture and Beth in English literature and creative Raj Rana, wild rabbit writing. There must be something in the Townsend DNA, as Ju- liet's great grandfather, George Herbert, was a founding member with the public and the community. Work- of Chichester Art School and taught none other than the famous shops and classes for children and adults sculptor and printmaker Eric Gill. are something she would like to introduce, While maintaining the talented stable of artists that Cathie has and various other ideas are bubbling away built up, Juliet is planning to gradually evolve Ashdown Gallery in her soul. It’s pleasing to see Cathie's into her vision of a 21st Century gallery, to make the space more legacy, as she moves on to pastures new, of an experience – to give the public the opportunity to better un- passed on into such good hands. We wish derstand the artists’ work and become more engaged with the art. them all well for the future. She wants to make things happen, build relationships, interact www.ashdowngallery.co.uk

“Why Is Your English So Good”? Student’s Final Major Project gains national coverage

Proving that if you have talent and promote yourself thoroughly, Daniel Adams, a Conceptual Portrait and Fashion Photographer currently in his final year of BA Photography at Falmouth Uni- versity, has achieved extensive recognition with his Final Major Project which revolves around racism and ignorance in the United Kingdom and Ireland. He is from Malaysia and has had to deal with a huge amount of racial slurs and stereotypes that have been thrown in his direction. The project revolves around the experiences of his fellow Malay- sians that are either studying or living within the UK and Ireland – some experiences being pure ignorance, other experiences being down right racist. The project shows us just how widespread the problem is. Daniel definitely has a bright future ahead of him.

Summer Exhibition by the Southern Ceramic Group The 2017 Summer Exhibition by the Southern Ceramic Group will showcase over 600 exhibits from 52 cerami- cists. It will take place in the historic – and normally closed to the public – 'Old Kitchen' in the Bishop's Palace at Chichester Cathedral. This popular and stimulating show will offer a wide range of different ceramic creations, from traditional functional pottery to figurative sculpture. The exhibits will be available to purchase. Each item displayed will tell its unique story, reflecting the attitude and inspiration of the creating artist, as well as the chosen technique to produce the work. These techniques range from the choice of the glaze and clay to the methods of kiln firing employed. Exhibiting artists will be in attendance to dis- cuss their work and generally assist visitors to enjoy the event and deepen their appreciation of the ceramic art. The Southern Ceramic Group was started in 1975 by a small Nadia Hopkins, Old Kiln Studio collective of enthusiastic potters.

Two distinct exhibitions this summer at the Towner Gallery

Kudos to Eastbourne's Towner Gallery for hosting two marvellously contrasted exhibitions this summer. There is the Sussex Open 2017 which runs from 22nd July to 1st October with artists from both East and West Sussex invited to participate. The exhibition brings together emerging and established artists from across Sussex, offering artists and gallery visitors a unique opportunity to present and view works by artists at every level of their career. Artists who have previously exhibited work in the Open exhibition have gone on to be selected for John Moore’s Painting Prize, the Jerwood Drawing Prize and the BFI Film Festival in the experimental film category and have been shortlisted for the Mark Tanner Sculpture Prize. Entry is free. Also running until 17th September is Ravilious & Co: The Pattern of Friendship, a major touring exhibition of the artist and designer Eric Ravilious which coincides with the 75th anniversary of his death. It explores the significant relationships and working collaborations between Ravilious and an important group of friends and affiliates, including Paul and John Nash, Enid Marx, Barnett Freedman, Tirzah Garwood, Edward Bawden, Thomas Hennell, Douglas Percy Bliss, Peggy Angus, Helen Binyon, and Diana Low. Entry is £8, Concessions £7, Art Fund Members £4 and unlimited free entry for Towner Members and under Installation view, Ravilious & Co, 2017, Towner 18s.

/ Artgenu by Lesley Sammse | Pure Fine Art For this edition of Artgenu/e Lesley talks exclusively to Sir Quentin Blake

An undoubted national treasure, Sir Quentin Blake is passionate about Hastings, and that is why he has chosen Jerwood Gallery as the venue for his biggest and most ambitious show to date. Probably best known as an illustrator working with the likes of Roald Dahl and Michael Rosen, his exhibition, The Only Way to Travel, shows a completely different – and to many totally unknown – facet of his work. Lesley spoke exclusively to Sir Quentin about his life, drawing and the motivation behind this new body of work.

Please could you tell us about your younger life and how this influenced you as an artist. I was born in Sidcup and went to the local boys grammar school. My family were very nice people but did not share my interests, so everything I got, I got from school. I think education is very important. I had a very good art teacher and my Latin teacher, unusu- ally for the time a women as it was the war years, introduced me to her husband Alfred Jackson, who was both a painter and a cartoonist, which gave me the idea that was something you could do.

What is your earliest memory of drawing? I still have a drawing from when I was about four for a while and found I could survive and then I got but I don’t actually remember doing it. I started into book illustration and that really was the start of drawing at school and drew for the school magazine everything since. and then, as a consequence of the meeting with Alf I have no formal art qualification but after I got my Jackson, I started sending drawings to PUNCH. These degree I went to Chelsea art school because I knew were quite bad drawings but when I was sixteen I got there was an art teacher there called Brian Robb who one or two of them published and went on doing that was a painter and illustrator. He became a mentor, for some time. which was very important and he was a friend ever I sort of got drawings published and then learnt to after until he died. He was very good because he draw afterwards – in some sense it was like an would say ‘don’t join my illustration class as you know apprenticeship. too much already!’ but I used to show him my drawings and then later on he moved from Chelsea to the So after leaving school did you study art?

Borde Hill Sculpture In The Garden

It was a bright spring day, the sun was shining and the rain that had been forecast was, so far, holding off. At Borde Hill Garden near Haywards Heath the renowned annual sculpture trail launched in a flurry of fizz and canapes, to the background of a string quartet. A few words were said by the organisers and Sussex-based crime writer Peter James, for whom Borde Hill has a particular significance, and then we all sauntered off, glasses in hand, to explore the await- ing artworks. Built in 1598, Borde Hill House is set in over 200 acres of beautiful garden, park and woodland, which make a perfect setting for a sculpture exhibition. Intimate spaces such as the Victorian greenhouses are well suited to smaller pieces of work, while larger pieces such as Jason Mulligan's Vertical Landscape, having dwarfed the studios where they were created, now sit comfortably among woodland or on great sweeping lawns. With over 80 sculptures from both established and emerging artists in a number of different mediums, every taste was catered for. Often, as I followed the trail, I would round a corner to be brought up short by the sight of some magnificent work in its idyllic setting. A visit to the sculpture trail is best bookended by a browse around the Green Tree Gallery (to the left as you come up the drive) – where some of the trail's smaller sculptural work is on display alongside the Gallery's 'A British Summer' exhibition – and a reviving cup of something delicious at Cafe Elvira, once part of the Victorian stable block. If, like me, you are a lover of gardens as well as of sculpture, you will find much to enjoy, so set aside a good chunk of time for your visit. I spent a couple of hours before the threatened rain finally arrived and that wasn't enough. Gives me a good excuse to go back though... Runs daily until 2nd October, Borde Hill also hosts Music in the Garden on Sundays through August. www.bordehill.co.uk www.greentreegallery.co.uk

Frances Knight, landscape painter Summer Exhibitions

As part of the Arundel Gallery Trail, Frances Knight opens her studio on the top floor of the Victoria Institute for her summer exhibition from 19th to 28th August, featuring 25 new oil paintings painted on location and developed further into larger works in the studio. Works include both local landscapes of the Arun Val- ley and Downland and Climping Beach as well as paintings from Provence and India. Frances says “I am inspired by light, painting on location directly from nature. Although my paintings show different geographical locations they are linked by the theme of light. They show different qualities of light in different places and seasons – and at different times of the day. The perception of light, how we see it and feel it, is an experience in itself.” After graduating from the Camberwell School of Art, Frances won a Commonwealth and Brit- Frances also has a solo show at the Project Gallery, 63 ish Council Scholarship to complete her Master Arundel High Street from 21st July until 12th August.

Rock history in November at TRADING BOUNDARIES

Back in 1971 when I was very young and attempting to be as hip as possible, there were various bands and singer/song- writers that were not only innovative and extremely interesting but also created vinyl LPs one ‘just had to be seen with’. Such albums as Tapestry by Carole King, Blue by Joni Mitchell, Songs of Love and of course released other albums, before and after, but I think Hate by Leonard Cohen, Led Zeppelin IV it’s fair to say In the Land of Grey and Pink is their master- and many more were at the forefront of rock piece.

Vienna Festival Ballet_FP-iss17.indd 1 22/06/2017 00:07 performing arts Cinderella Vienna Festival Ballet 'a combination of pure classical dancing with a touch of pantomime'

I always thought Cinderella was a Christmas story. Turns out it works just as well in the middle of May! With a commissioned score adapted from Rossini's operas and choreographed especially for Vienna Festival Ballet, the company's delightful production of Cinderella tells the familiar story with great energy, warmth and humour. We knew we were in for a treat when the curtain went up on three mice and a cat playing... well, cat and mouse – around a sleeping Cinderella. With the scene thus set, the fairy tale unfolded. From the hectic opening domestic setting, through the woodland scene where sad Cinderella meets her Fairy Godmother and is encouraged by forest nymphs and elves, to the exciting and lively Palace Ball where she finds sweet love but has to wrench herself away, the differences in tone and mood were palpable, each of the characters playing their part with great feeling. Providing further depth were the changes of pace from the energetic and muscular displays by Dandini and Prince Ramiro to the lyrical beauty of the Fairy Godmother and Cinderella. Captivated, we marvelled at the feline- ness of the mischievous cat, laughed at the antics of the Ugly Sisters and gasped at the gravity-defying leaps and lifts. Of course love wins the day and the Prince gets his girl. The final wedding celebration was a breathtaking showcase for all the characters – even the Ugly Sisters were somehow less gawky. Elegance and grace suffused the entire performance by this talented young company and, touched by this aesthetic rendition of the story, we left the theatre with smiles on our faces and a lightness in our step.

Being something of a fan I attended every event. I was amazed at the thought-provoking insights offered by such knowledgeable folk, enthralled and entertained by the live readings and transported by the beautiful music. I sang lustily, danced merrily (but not too well) and all in all had a thoroughly excellent time. My hat goes off to the organisers and all those involved in pulling off a great event, especially the stalwart team of volunteers. I'm already looking forward to next year's festival (though I'm going to practice my dancing...)

Yes, it was Shoreham Shakespeare Wordfest's annual Celebrating Shakespeare Festival. Kicking off with a screening of Ian McKellen's extraordinary Richard III at West Street Loft, the theme of the weekend was decidedly set – Shakespeare's Villains. There followed a packed programme of events – many with live readings by local thespians to provide further depth and nuance – such as the workshop 'Re-presenting Richard III. Is Shakespeare's Villain History's Victim?' with Morag Charlwood*; 'Iago and the Question of Evil' with Janet Pressley, a talk with dramatised readings; 'Something Wicked' with director Bob Ryder and the Wick Theatre Company, and 'Coffee with Shakespeare's Queens' with actor and playwright Janet Behan. * Morag Charlwood read her Richard III Monologues Add to the mix musical interludes provided by the likes in her workshop.

Suddenly in 1973, at the Hammersmith Odeon at the end of the final gig of a very successful UK tour when the band was at the height of their fame, and with no warning, Bowie announced publicly that Ziggy and Spiders were no more. Soon after, Woody was unceremonious- ly sacked by phone, believe it or not, on his wedding day, with Bowie and his long-time friend, guitarist Mick Ronson, refusing to speak with him.

And what better way to do it than with Annie Sloan chalk paint? There is such a variety of ways this wonderful chalk paint can be used: stencilling with a dry brush to give a piece of furniture a lift, using a pattern roller on textiles or even making wrap- ping paper using brown kraft paper. You can also dye fabric with it, in fact we never waste a drop of paint – a used paintbrush is used to dye ribbon which always results in beautiful hues. Basic shibori dyeing techniques, folding, binding or twisting cloth and dipping it into your chosen diluted colour gives wonderful results and can be used to make household items like cushions, napkins or table runners. Our printed pieces have been used by students to upholster chairs in our upholstery classes and made into blinds in our curtain making classes. Interior designers have been keen to snap up bespoke coloured cloth for their projects.
