    Press Release

    PRESS RELEASE GOOD NATURE – a celebration of our planet, its beauty and its fragility and the essential part we all play in preserving it. 30 emerging and eminent artists were invited to make a new work in response to the theme. The work explores the themes of nature, our planet and the environment today. 16 September to 28 October 2017 Tuesday- Saturday 10am – 5pm CANDIDA STEVENS GALLERY Chichester West Sussex PO19 1BA Top left and clockwise: Alice Kettle, David Nash RA OBE, Michael Benson, Eileen Cooper RA OBE, Nicola Green GOOD NATURE celebrates the natural world through the observations of some of the leading artists working in the UK today who awaken our senses to the abundant beauty of our planet. They take inspiration from the warmth of the sun, the green lungs of the forests and the dark depths of the oceans, alongside all life that teems in and under them. We are reminded of the changing and fragile state of Earth and are invited to reflect on how it is necessary for all these elements to interconnect in order to exist. Highly acclaimed, environmental sculptor David Nash RA OBE shows a work created from a Holly tree, charred in his distinctive style, with an associated print. Eileen Cooper RA OBE, and this year’s curator of the RA Summer Show, includes a painting inspired by the domestic use of nature. Stephen Farthing RA makes a new print about the escapism PRESS RELEASE nature provides. Returning from highly successful exhibitions at Venice Biennale, Stephen Chambers RA takes a humorous look at manmade versus nature whilst Nicola Green makes a series of silkscreen prints in response to deforestation.

    Eileen Cooper: Personal Space 3–5 Swallow Street London W1B 4DE 020 7434 4319 huxleyparlour.com Cover image: Sisters, 2019 Eileen Cooper: Personal Space Introduction I am very pleased to introduce our first catalogue of paintings by Eileen Cooper RA, which contains a completely new body of work produced especially for our first exhibition together. It is a remarkable group of pictures that nods to her earliest years as a painter, while also continuing to develop the themes of identity and womanhood that she has explored throughout her career. The exhibition’s particular theme of reflective, personal space is one that seems entirely appropriate to Cooper, whose studio itself is a domestic one, set in a light filled room above the convivial family kitchen in her Brockley home. Here in this high ceilinged, paint splattered sanctuary Cooper quietly makes her pictures, bathed in the rays that flood through the tall sash windows. For many years Cooper worked alone there with her imagination, but more recently she has re-welcomed models – which has given birth to a more immediate intimacy. As one of the country’s most influential female Royal Academicians, Cooper has been a force in the British art world for many years, most recently as a much-loved Keeper of the Royal Academy Schools. In seeking models for the previous project to ours, Cooper found herself welcoming a long queue of former students and their artistic brethren, which is testimony to the esteem and friendship in which she is held. Like them, I have adored getting to know and being around Cooper, whose warmth, and energetic approach to her life and work makes for an intoxicating environment.

    Eileen Cooper: Personal Space

    3-5 Swallow Street, London, W1B 4DE / [email protected] Eileen Cooper: Personal Space 17 October - 16 November 2019 Huxley-Parlour Gallery, London will be exhibiting a group of 15 new paintings by Eileen Cooper RA that fuse objective drawing from life, a new part of her practice, with the instantly recognisable, passionate and imaginative works she is known for. Ruby Red, 2019 Entitled Personal Space, the focus of the exhibition is on the female figure in nurturing and intimate spaces, explored with confidence, sensitivity and awareness. Through these images, Cooper revisits and expands on themes that she has explored throughout her forty-year career, those of universal female experience, primarily fertility, sexuality and motherhood. In this latest body of work, Cooper has also incorporated images celebrating friendship, sisterhood and sense of self. Many of the images show female figures in private spaces, engaged in intimate and sometimes simple acts, including brushing or washing hair or applying make up. Cooper’s protagonists are confident, gazing stridently out at the viewer or at their own figures in the many mirrors that populate this body of work. Although not strictly representational, this latest body of work comes after an intensive year of drawing from life, a marked change in the artist’s process, after a lifetime of working directly from imagination. Cooper has skilfully blended this new part of her practise with her characteristic use of graphic, decisive line, flattened space and bold colour palette. The resulting imagery explores the powerful tension created between the universal and the particular, and of the real and the imagined.

    Eileen Cooper Showing Off Eileen Cooper Showing Off 2011 Working with Eileen Cooper Over a Combined Period of Twenty Three Years Has Been an Adventure

    Eileen Cooper Showing Off Eileen Cooper Showing Off 2011 Working with Eileen Cooper over a combined period of twenty three years has been an adventure. Above all, it has been a pleasurable and rewarding experience, marked by firm friendship, and based on mutual professional trust and respect. During that time, London has become a global art world hub and the number of contemporary art galleries today is more than double that in 1988, when Cooper had her first exhibition at the Benjamin Rhodes Gallery in New Burlington Place. She has been represented by Art First since 1997 and we are very pleased to present her first solo exhibition in the new Art First space in Fitzrovia, at the moment when she takes up her post as Keeper of the Royal Academy. This is a notable appointment in its own right, but it is also an historical break-through because Cooper is the first woman Officer ever to be elected since Sir Joshua Reynolds founded the Academy in 1768. We would like to congratulate Eileen Cooper on her achievement, and to thank her for the many introductions to young graduates whom she has taught, as well as other artists we have been delighted to work with. Cooper has been generous towards her peers over the decades and strongly supportive of those starting out in their careers. In this spirit she brings to the Keepership an exciting fresh focus, and we both look forward to the years to come.

Many of the paintings have not been seen since their first appearance at Royal Academy Summer shows which presents an exciting opportunity for Modern British collectors. These reappearing works also offer the new generation of Fedden collectors the chance to get a much clearer and broader idea of Fedden’s artistic development and diversity. Mary Fedden first exhibited her work at Bohun Gallery in Henley on Thames in 1984. Patricia Jordan Evans recalls “It was Elisabeth Frink who introduced me to Mary Fedden nearly 35 years ago. From the start there was a rapport between us and we enjoyed a warm friendship until her death in 2012”. Mary and her artist husband, Julian Trevelyan RA, regularly exhibited their paintings at the Henley on Thames gallery which offered collectors outside London the opportunity to discover Fedden’s work. Her paintings were much sort after from the start for their unique artistry and attractiveness. Patricia recalls how she regularly discovered collectors camped out overnight on Bohun’s doorstep, ensuring that they were first through the door at the Private View - “Private views for Mary were always absolutely packed with friends and admirers.

  • Eileen Cooper

    Eileen Cooper

    Eileen Cooper Galerie MIRO Praha 1 2 EILEEN COOPER Between the Lines | Mezi řádky MIRO Gallery Prague | Galerie MIRO Praha 3 EILEEN COOPER Eileen Cooper was born in 1953 in the northern English town of Glossop. Today Glossop is a part of the eastern edge of Greater Manchester. Even further east the town is bordered by the characteristic, almost barren landscape of the Pennines. The surroundings and natural landscape will are only suggestions, only symbols in the artist’s paintings. After studying art at Ashton-under-Lyne College, Goldsmiths College and the Royal College of Art, she settled in London. She focused on crafts, printmaking and painting. In the 1980s she was a part-time instructor at several schools in England. Starting in 1994 she taught at the Royal College of Art in London. Following her election as Keeper of the Royal Academy in 2010, she became the first woman in the role since the Academy was established in 1768. It seems that Eileen Cooper’s paintings and drawings always conceal a story, or at least capture a certain moment or feeling. The story is perhaps just one – the artist’s entire life thus far. Of course, they are not illustrations of events that occurred in her lifetime; reality is blended with and supplemented by Eileen Cooper’s imagination and symbolism. Especially in the beginning, the expressiveness of the figure is emphasised through monumentality. Sometimes it barely fits in the picture, and parts of the figure are in fact outside the frame. The motifs are not anecdotal, but rather allegoric, simultaneously both personal and universal.
