Andrea Kim Valdez will be showing her Ipad Drawings
‘Endangered Birds, the Grand Canyon and other Landscapes’  

        Kim Valdez has spent time drawing the birds on her Ipad in London Zoo’s Blackburn Pavilion – and working up Ipad Prints from her
sketches of the Grand Canyon.

Jackie Lewis will show Ceramic Sculpture and Vessels
Jackie Lewis is preoccupied with the thrill of chance in her approach to the porcelain and stoneware sculptures she begins to create on her potters wheel. She builds and deconstructs allowing controlled accident and playfulness to bring about unexpected shapes that highlight movement, rhythm and volume. Inspired by the sounds and rhythms of music and the sea, Jackie’s sculptures elicit a sense of tension by being in a state of balance and flux. Her work is often at the point of self destruction and is restored to just teetering on the brink.

To Flat Point
Hagginton Cliffs II

Mark Rochester has exhibited widely in Devon where his paintings are well known and appreciated.

This year Mark had two paintings accepted for the 2016 RA Summer Exhibition – and because we had spotted his lovely work a couple of years ago we had already planned to bring him to London for a solo show – ‘En Plein Air’ held at The Crouch End Gallery on Oct 8/9th.

The Crouch End Gallery was delighted to show his arresting and beautiful painting and even more delighted that people flocked to Crouch End in order to see and to buy them!

Andrea Kim Valdez showed her acrylic sculptures at The Crouch End Gallery

Continuing the theme of the rainforest previously explored in her memorable room installation ‘Ecos de Las Amazonas’, Kim transformed The Crouch End Gallery into a suitable habitat for her latest ‘Live Edge’ acrylic sculptures featuring exotically coloured macaws and other work inspired by the plants and flowers of the rainforest.

Kim says ‘ The sculptures are made of a special acrylic sheet and exploit the power of this medium to catch normal daylight, making the colours glow along the edges. They can look even better under ultraviolet spotlights.’
