<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 />

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 />

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 />

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