<strong>Autumn</strong> Programme 20<strong>18</strong><br />

1<br />

Where learning and practice meet.


<strong>Autumn</strong> 20<strong>18</strong><br />

We begin this season on a note of<br />

sadness. In May, Bath Artists’ Studios<br />

longest serving member Edward<br />

Lewis passed away. Edward was the<br />

first artist to move in to the studios<br />

after its foundation by David Cobley.<br />

A passionate artist often working in<br />

his studio late into the night, his life<br />

and work were celebrated by friends<br />

and colleagues with a retrospective<br />

exhibition in the Roper Gallery in July.<br />

<strong>Autumn</strong> 20<strong>18</strong> brings us a great deal<br />

to look forward to. The season<br />

really gets into the swing of things<br />

with our annual Open Studios (28-<br />

30 September), this includes our<br />

fundraising Silent Auction in partnership<br />

with Art At The Heart of the RUH. We<br />

are also introducing new new classes<br />

held both at <strong>BAS</strong> and with our partners<br />

at Town Hall Arts in Trowbridge.<br />

From October onwards the Roper<br />

Gallery changes from its previous role<br />

as a hireable exhibition space to a<br />

curated gallery, this season we will be<br />

welcoming exhibitions including ‘She<br />

Did That: Celebrating Female Artists<br />

Working in the Music Industry, Bath<br />

Spa University Students and a oneperson<br />

exhibition by Manchester based<br />

painter Peter Seal in conjunction with<br />

Anthony Hepworth Fine Art<br />

Dealers.<br />

EDWARD LEWIS 1936-20<strong>18</strong><br />

As you would expect from a prolific artist who practised for over fifty years, Ed<br />

Lewis created a vast body of work. From paintings and drawings to collages that<br />

burst out of their rectangular origins, no style or discipline could contain the immense<br />

energy and passion he had for art. It’s impossible to separate his character from his<br />

work. He was an engaging and amusing raconteur, irreverent and eccentric. Thus<br />

a short walk became a journey, a map became an atlas, each new work a station<br />

on the way. There was no destination just a continuum so skilfully improvised. His<br />

work was like a sentence that would unfurl itself into a memoir. No surface or object<br />

was left untouched and although he was a technically excellent artist the orthodox<br />

couldn’t contain his energy and ideas. From the first line, mark or gesture he was<br />

off transforming the prosaic into a rich and inspired tapestry of unbridled creativity.<br />

Envelopes, boxes, newspaper, toilet rolls were employed when an idea or impulse<br />

came to him, he just reached out for nearest object and went to work. I once saw him<br />

take off his pullover and cut it into shapes just because he couldn’t find the shade and<br />

body of the burgundy he needed, from a tube. He carried on working in his vest.<br />

Ed always seemed that he was at odds with the rectangle, disliked framing his work,<br />

and would only do so for the sake of galleries and exhibitions that demanded it.<br />

Although he wanted to be successful and recognised, it would have to be on his own<br />

terms. He found the rules oppressive and unnecessary. They certainly didn’t apply to<br />

him and in the end it cost him the recognition he so richly deserved. Although he was<br />

a modest unassuming man, as an artist he was fiercely courageous in his approach<br />

and in the defence of his ideas and passions. I had the pleasure and privilege of<br />

sharing the same studios as Ed for <strong>18</strong> years and I always valued his feedback,<br />

it was honest (to the<br />

point where it could hurt)<br />

and so well informed and<br />

erudite. The pleasure<br />

was in that wry smile,<br />

the glint in his eye and<br />

the stories that so often<br />

exposed the stupidities<br />

of the universe. We both<br />

shared a love of poetry,<br />

it seems appropriate,<br />

in respect of Ed, that I<br />

quote the American poet<br />

Robert Lowell:<br />

“My eye can see what<br />

my hand has done”<br />

Upcoming events<br />

NEW WEBSITE FOR <strong>BAS</strong><br />

We are delighted to announce that our new website at<br />

www.bathartistsstudios.co.uk is now live. Built by Bath based web<br />

developer Blispa the new site includes more informative and ‘user friendly’<br />

features such as an interactive calendar. The site will be your one stop shop<br />

for all classes, exhibitions, news, events and projects organised by <strong>BAS</strong> and<br />

its community.<br />

SUMMER RESIDENCY EXCHANGE<br />

Building on the success of last year, Bath Artists’ Studios and Town Hall<br />

Arts, Trowbridge have teamed up again to host artists from each other’s<br />

communities. Our aim is to foster dialogue and communication between<br />

creative artists within our area.<br />

This year Bath Artists’ Studios welcomes Marianne Micoud Flewitt, an artist<br />

exploring colour theory through abstraction. Marianne will be exhibiting her<br />

work in the Roper Gallery from Monday 3rd to Thursday 16th of September.<br />

Meanwhile, <strong>BAS</strong> artist Angel Greenham has been working in the historic cells<br />

at Trowbridge Town Hall. Angel is a multi-disciplinary artist exploring the<br />

vacuum created by technological advance as a space for expressing notions<br />

of escapism and the uncanny.<br />

Open Studios 20<strong>18</strong><br />

28 – 30 September<br />

Opening party: Friday 28 September 6.30-9.30pm<br />

Studios Open 29-30 September 11.00am – 5.00pm<br />

Live music, exhibitions, bars, café, workshops and of course a chance to<br />

meet our artists, <strong>Autumn</strong> 20<strong>18</strong> comes in with a bang at Bath Artists’ Studios<br />

in this popular annual fixture of our calendar.<br />

The weekend gets going with a launch party on Friday (6.30-9.30pm)<br />

including Latin and Gypsy Jazz from Manos Puestas, catering by The Pizza<br />

Bike, licensed bars and the opening of our entire building including studios,<br />

and the gallery where we’ll be showing works by local and studio based<br />

artists in our Silent Auction (see details below). The weekend continues on<br />

Saturday and Sunday with a chance to view studios, exhibitions, take part in<br />

workshops and (of course) sample the delicious food and drink at our popup<br />

café.<br />

SILENT AUCTION 20<strong>18</strong><br />

Featuring some of Bath’s most prominent artists, our ‘Silent Auction 20<strong>18</strong>’<br />

fundraiser once again sees Bath Artists’ Studios collaborating with the Royal<br />

United Hospital’s Art At The Heart arts and wellbeing team. This year we<br />

have introduced some significant changes. Whilst the visual arts is one of<br />

the most poorly paid sectors in the economy, artists are frequently called<br />

upon to donat their time and work free of charge to support good causes.<br />

Recognising this, we have decided to split proceeds equally between the<br />

artists and ourselves as beneficiaries of the auction. For the buyer, this<br />

means that their purchase will support an artist as well as the work of the<br />

studios and our colleagues at the Royal United Hospital. With reserve prices<br />

from under £100 this year’s works range of size and medium, for the first<br />

time introducing three dimensional sculpture and design.<br />

Works will be exhibited in the South Corridor at the Royal United Hospital<br />

from 10th August until 24th September transferring to The Roper Gallery for<br />

our Open Studios Weekend (28th-30th September).<br />

Marianne Micoud Flewitt<br />

Town Hall Arts and Bath Artists’ Studios Residency Exchange<br />

Monday 3 – Sunday 16 September, 12-5pm<br />

Reception, Thursday 6 September 6-8pm<br />

Over the last two years, artists from the communities of practice focussed<br />

on Town Hall Arts in Trowbridge and Bath Artists’ Studios have exchanged<br />

residencies over the Summer. This year at <strong>BAS</strong> we welcome painter<br />

Marianne Micoud Flewitt.<br />

EXHIBITIONS<br />

‘I am a visual artist exploring abstraction through colour theory. My artwork<br />

so far carries a theme of evoking personal reflection. I choose to create<br />

this response through colour and surface. As the result of my process, I<br />

achieve different interpretations of my paintings making them subjective and<br />

unique to every individual. My work develops through the artists’ and the art<br />

observers’ response to my work. Therefore, it is imperative to have an active<br />

and ongoing interaction with my audience and fellow artists.’<br />

Somewhere In-between<br />

Russell Bell<br />

Suze Adams and Linda Ashe<br />

Wednesday 19 – Saturday 22 September<br />

10am – 3.30pm weekdays, 10am – 4.00pm Saturday<br />

Suze Adams and Linda<br />

Ashe share conceptual<br />

concerns yet express<br />

their ideas in radically<br />

different and distinct<br />

ways - this work-inprogress<br />

installation<br />

including photography,<br />

film, sound and<br />

sculpture. The show<br />

reveals new works from<br />

both artists on themes<br />

of: loss and memory<br />

(feelings of presence<br />

in absence); embodied<br />

experience (physical and<br />

psychological expression); the fluid nature of time and the concrete actuality of<br />

mortality.<br />

We hope the show will provoke discussion around these themes so do come<br />

and view these intriguing artworks. Suze and Linda will be working in the gallery<br />

throughout so please<br />

feel free to share your<br />

thoughts about the<br />

various pieces with the<br />

artists and learn more<br />

about the thinking<br />

behind the making.<br />

Friday 5 – Tuesday 16 October, 12-4pm<br />

Opening Evening Friday 5, 7-9pm<br />

When I was young I was idealist…<br />

I found beauty, meaning and wonder everywhere looked.<br />

When I got older I became realist…<br />

I saw a world of rough edges and difficult truths.<br />

The grew tiresome, I decided to be surrealist…<br />

Things got pretty weird after that.<br />

connections, whose artworks and illustrations have featured on record sleeves,<br />

festival and gig posters, music videos and articles in the music press.<br />

The art of Sophie Bass, Emily Evans, Anna Higgie, Tess Redburn and Victoria<br />

Topping is steeped in the myriad cultures of music, with all five artists drawing<br />

inspiration from, as well as providing visuals for, a diverse range of genres from<br />

Jazz to Hip Hop,<br />

Peter Seal: Paintings and Collages<br />

Thursday 22 November - Thursday 11 December, 12-5pm<br />

Opening Night, Thursday November 22, 6-8pm<br />

Peter Seal’s abstract paintings and collages invite meditative engagement,<br />

evoking a range of moods through his handling of colour and form.<br />

The exhibition includes examples of early work in which colour relationships<br />

are explored through minimal geometric forms. These paintings are the<br />

product of sustained contemplation and typically convey a sense of deep<br />

time.<br />

In recent years, Peter has begun to work on small monochrome collages<br />

as a focussed way of exploring composition. This has led on to a<br />

series of larger black and white compositions on canvas which have an<br />

immediate dramatic quality, as well as structural developments in his<br />

colour compositions. Peter has been based in Manchester for over three<br />

decades, having trained at Manchester Polytechnic in the 1980s following a<br />

BA in Fine Art at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee.<br />

“His work has substance and integrity; its quality is indisputable.’<br />

Dr Ian Massey 2014<br />

This exhibition is organised in conjunction with Peter Seal’s representative,<br />

Anthony Hepworth Fine Art Dealers.<br />

About Angela Street And Playwriting Salisbury<br />

‘I run Playwriting Salisbury+ and work as a freelance Writer, Mentor, Tutor, Script<br />

Reader, Dramaturg. I was recently awarded The Writers’ Guild Olwen Wymark<br />

Theatre Award for my work with new writing, especially working with women. I’m<br />

an accredited Writing Coach (Arvon, NAWE, RD1st), hold an MA in Scriptwriting<br />

with distinction, and have been a dedicated supporter of new writers for 25 years.<br />

I encourage playfulness and risk-taking in the use of language, form and content.<br />

I’ve worked with a number of artists including Charlotte Moreton, ceramicist Mirka<br />

Golden-Hahn, and Gini at Salisbury Arts Centre, and I’ve run art/writing projects<br />

with Salisbury Fringe where I ran workshops and produced a series of short plays<br />

based on the paintings of Frida Kahlo and another on William Blake. Some of my<br />

poetry has been incorporated into art exhibitions. I’m interested in how writing can<br />

be exhibited to a wider public. A former Scriptwriting Tutor with the Open<br />

University, I now run scriptwriting courses in Salisbury and throughout the<br />

South West.’<br />
