Intersections
Sunday 6th July
to Sunday 27th July
A group of local artists, Adriaan Van Heerden and Helena and Neal
Vaughan, will be exhibiting a collection of multimedia artwork based on
the following poem:
you
me
this road
this place
a hundred thousand options
ten thousand decisions
a healthy dose of fate
I'm waiting
don't be late
Adriaan Van Heerden, 26th January 2008
The exhibition's themes will be reflect the words of this poem and the
ideas of travel or journeys. This will be their first exhibition as a
group, and Adriaan Van Heerden's first ever!
For Helena Vaughan, the exhibition will be about a journey to the
exhibition site, Honeywood Museum. Helena's medium is collage. Drawing
is her first passion though, and wherever possible she likes to combine
it with other mediums. Recently Helena started a new career as an art
teacher after being inspired by an article in the Sutton Scene magazine.
Her school work mirrors her artwork and her ideas can come from anywhere
that offers inspiration.
Adriaan Van Heerden is originally from South Africa and graduated
with a PhD in Philosophy from King's College, Cambridge in 2002. Since
then he has been living and working in London. Adriaan is interested in
expressing himself in both poetry and photography and is fascinated by
the intersections of the two forms. 'A picture may be worth a few words,
but a few simple lines of poetry cane sometime conjure a myriad of
images in the mind'. In his photography he looks for an angle that will
bring a poetic quality to the composition: a frame that is able to
capture something of the brutal beauty of existence.
Neal Vaughan is a landscape artist with a BW (hons) degree in
Fine Art. After college he gave up the profession he loved to follow a
career in television production. Now, more than 15 years later, he is
married to helena and has also picked up the brush again. Essentially he
concentrates on landscapes, his enjoyment coming from colour, mark
making and technique. Recently painting all his work in oils on canvas,
Neal enjoys the challenge of producing the work as much as the finished
painting itself.
