Official Unveiling of 'Amy' by Johan Andersson at Gallery II8

2011-08-22T14:18:00.002+01:00

Gallery II8 proudly presents the official unveiling of 'Amy' by Johan Andersson from Thursday 25th to Saturday 27th August 2011.

Swedish born, London trained Andersson has been commissioned by Art Below to paint this portrait of Amy Winehouse.

Having graduated from Central St Martins in 2008, Andersson became the youngest ever person to be shortlisted for the BP Portrait Award and listed in The Independent's Top 20 Artists 2008. His work has been displayed at the National Portrait Gallery and he also won the Jerwood Contemporary Painters Prize.

Andersson has exhibited alongside some of the most celebrated and influential contemporary artists including Anish Kapoor, Tracey Emin, Sarah Lucas, Gavin Turk and Howard Hodgkin. His portraits are unique in their depiction of beauty - 'celebrating diversity in the knowledge that we are all uniquely made' whilst revealing 'an ambiguous and awkward underlying tension'.

This powerful piece - a final tribute by Andersson to Amy Winehouse - allows us an intimacy with Amy. Her expression suggests a vulnerability but there is an animated defiance in her eyes. The emotive nature of the piece captivates the viewer compelling us to keep examining it to appease our disquietude.

The painting forms part of his project '27 Club', documenting the tragic deaths of celebrities who passed away at the age of 27. Other members of the so-called 27 Club include Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and Brian Jones. A poster of the image will also be on display at Camden Town Station from the 22nd August to the 5th October 2011.

This is one of the must-see pieces of the year.

This week we welcome back our friends from Waylight Gallery, Portugal who, after the success of their previous four visits, have returned to put on another spectacular show.

The exhibition starts with a drinks reception on Wednesday 27th April at 6.30pm at Gallery II8 on the corner of Westbourne Grove and Chepstow Road.

As usual they have brought a selection of their finest works; beautiful aesthetically as well as conceptually. The artists hail from all over the world – their paintings a reflection on the different styles and cultural influences which have led them.

A fantastic show with very skilled and experienced artists, I hope to see you there.

Carolina Fungairino presents "Confusiones Culturales" by Luis MELF Esparragoza

Biography

Luis (MELF) Esparragoza

Melf was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1970. As part of his education he attended several workshops in drawing and painting and studied the human figure at Cristobal Rojas School in Caracas. At a later stage, he studied drawing and painting at the renowned Museum of Contemporary Art in the same city.

In 1990 he made his first trip to Europe (France and Germany) and got the opportunity to work as a collaborator in the studio of artist Jürgen Peter in Hannover. During this trip, his work was shown with great success for the first time outside Venezuela.

Recent exhibitions include the world exhibition “EXPO 2000” in Hannover, Germany representing Venezuela, and the exhibition “Eierversum” also at the EXPO 2000.

In 2001 he established his home and studio in Vienna, Austria and since then he has had various international exhibitions, including:

- Solo exhibition at the Museo de Arte Joven Moya in Vienna, Austria

- Solo exhibition at the Museo de Arte Moderno Juan Astorga Anta in Mérida, Venezuela

- Caisa Cultural Center Gallery in Helsinki, Finland, 11th International Biennial of Portrait and Figure, Drawing 04, Tuzla, Bosnia-Herzegovina, The Venezuelan Art Hall of Budapest.

Melf’s areas of artistic interest include the influence of colours, the concern for the individual and behavior within the environment. For this exhibition he has developed a complex style using a variety of techniques and materials including printing, inks, acrylics, as well as industrial plastic on Italian canvas, ultimately resulting in a stunning three-dimensional artwork.

He currently lives and works in Vienna, Austria.

Gallery II8 is delighted to welcome back Aviruth Meesupa, presented by Carolina Fungairino.

AVIRUTH MEESUPA BIOGRAPHY

Born in the Trat Province in eastern Thailand in 1977. Meesupa is a rare young contemporary artist in all respects. His artistic journey began in one of the most exotic parts of the world when he was nine years old; he painted a Thai bird for his grandfather using pencil and paper and people started to call his work ART. During his childhood he spent most of his playtime drawing and experimenting with pencils, colours, and nature.

At the age of 18 he attended the Fine Art School at Chiang Mai University, Thailand, but after two years he had to quit due to the loss of his father and the need to work in order to survive. In this short period he became interested in realism and also in sub realism. Since then his artistic journey has been full of rich experiences and influenced by travels and both cultural and spiritual encounters. Meesupa is a self-taught painter, and has been both a student and a tutor, including teaching at a nearby prison.

Meesupa has visited several communities across Thailand and has connected with the people in many ways. He draws inspiration from spiritual senses, human expression, and the environment. He uses realism to discover the tensions of expression through the skilful use of colours, light and delicate handling of the brush, all of which work to provide a unique expression.

His works have been shown primarily in his own studio, and selected pieces have already been bought by clients in Europe.

Meesupa lives in Mae Hong Son, northern Thailand, with his wife.

‘Portraits From Flateurville’

by Laurent Godard

Wednesday 1st to Wednesday 15th December 2010

Private viewing and live painting performance: 8th December 2010 18.30 to 22.30

Laurent Godard invites us to enter inside Gallery II8, leaving the door to our curiosity ajar, and the door to our imagination wide open.

We gain an insight into a part of his village; his world, Flateurville. An evolving, multifaceted narrative structure composed of a variety of artistic mediums (painting, film, text, sound, drawings, performance, architecture and installation). All elements are linked by one key part: a story written down many years ago on a till roll.

The story of this village now traverses spatial, temporal and physical boundaries. By mapping Flateurville around the world, the fictive locations that feature in the story have been made concrete, and the story-telling itself is played out in disparate contexts. It becomes an immersive experience for the visitor to these places, transposing his two-dimensional story written on paper into a three-dimensional story to travel through; told to each individual uniquely, based upon our own interpretation of its width, length and depth. Moreover, these contexts are not only used to stage the fiction, but also have become a part of the production turning in to fully developed working ‘creative zones’ for Godard to practice his painting, and for other artists to work from.

Narrative being fundamental to this creation, in ‘Portraits From Flateurville’ the story is told, but it is deliberately fragmented, encouraging the viewer to use a process of invention and imagination towards interpretation. The viewer will become acquainted with the portraits in the paintings, the leading protagonists in the story. Standing face to face will reveal a profound sense of familiarity and identification, as though having met them somewhere once before. The viewer, like the paintings, has an address, an identity and a story here. Lacking in movement, with no suggestion of environment, these figures, conceived using pale creamy oils and ‘dripped’ lines of deep burgundy glosses, remain patiently stoic in their poses until the exhibition is over.

Even in this traditional gallery context (far away from the usual site-specific context that Godard is currently producing on a large multiple scale), the viewer is still integrated into the fiction, into the moral of the story, the secret lying behind the doors to the village: that everyone and anyone has imaginative and inventive powers, stimulating creative output that, once opened, can transform and reveal gateways we never knew existed. Perhaps it was Marcel, Georges, Susan, Lola, Jean-Baptiste, Rene or other characters from the story who could be pronounced the artist of this exhibition: all multifaceted elements of the same person. This same person is able to tell the story, through multiple forms of artistic expression, and a determination to cast the same creative magic to inspire others to create their own Flateurville.

Born in 1967 in Paris France, Laurent Godard read medicine at the Garantiere, Paris. Having practiced as a dental surgeon for the first part of his early career, he turned to acting classes (Cour Florent, Paris), drawing classes, alongside developing his figurative painting technique and his passion for creative writing. His imaginary village evolved out of his participation in all of these artistic mediums, even his role as a surgeon plays a part. He soon established himself as a renowned portrait artist and story-teller, exhibiting in galleries internationally. Today, he continues to develop and expand his village, always searching for new abandoned sites to transform and add to the fictive game, while using all the narrative supports he has at his disposal to be able to tell the story in a variety of different ways and to a variety of different audiences. He is currently working towards the production of it as a feature length film.

Iranian Artist Faten Hakimi - Veil 11th - 20th November 2010

Gallery II8 is delighted to invite you to 'Veil', an extraordinary new exhibition from emerging Iranian artist Faten Hakimi, on Thursday 11th November. Hakimi has studied art in both Lebanon and London, and her exhibition at II8 is supported by the Iranian Festival of Arts.

Featuring exclusively female subjects, the exhibition explores the concept of unveiling and the personal truths that are revealed. A striking sense of displacement is manifested in Hakimi's art through her remarkable use of texture and colour.

"The Eastern born and Western trained artist brings to life two distinctly opposed ideologies in one universal beauty that encourages the exploration of the self..."
-Kayhan News (Iranian newspaper)

Nabil Hamad - New Paintings
2nd - 7th November, 2010

"When Nabil turns his hand to oils the instinctive feeling for colour and texture is profound. Paint and ink are this man's surging lifeblood; in his hands they graphically demonstrate the power of nature and the sheer pleasure of being alive. Passion, eroticism and the poignancy of existence are all given space on his canvas." Rob Cassy (author and journalist).

Nabil Hamad studied art and design in Beirut, Lebanon. He then began his career working as an art director for several leading Lebanese magazines and newspapers.

Leaving Beirut for Paris in 1977, he discovered much more about art and refined his skills, achieving a new level of artistry. Nabil also completed a lithography course at Heatherly School of Art in 2005.

Nabil has exhibited in numerous one man shows in both Beirut and London. The London exhibitions have included the following galleries:

Icon Gallery (1983)
Argile Gallery (1989,1996,2004)
West Eleven (2007)

Nabil has also had numberous art books published, as well as six books of his poetry and short stories.

Contemporary Portuguese Artists Return to Gallery 118

2010-09-06T19:10:00.000+01:00

This week we welcome back our friends from Portugal who, after the success of their previous three visits, have returned to put on another spectacular show.

The exhibition will take place from 8th to 11th September.

The reappearance of these contemporary Portuguese artists to the London art scene aims to examine the relationship between the artists and their different ways of expression. The understanding and appreciation of their surroundings combined with their manipulation of colour provide each of them with an individual style and a unique view of the world we live in.

The importance of this is shown in a mantra adopted by these Portuguese artists, the famous words of Pablo Picasso "Art is a lie which brings us nearer to the truth". The mergence of these artists with their various modes of expression relates to art's role within human questioning; to constantly challenge and re-address our concepts which results in one final truth towards which we always strive; an understanding of life and of happiness.

Fortunately, whilst on this path towards the dawn of realisation, they have provided us with some bloody good paintings to look at. So, if our brains are a little drained by the exasperation of the meaning of life, or perhaps a little exasperated by the draining of wine glasses, we can still appreciate the skill and beauty of these paintings.

An exhibition of talented artists with a wealth of experience!

We are currently exhibiting works as part of the Notting Hill Visual Arts Festival, an annual showcase of local talents and teachings with a vibrant selection of art.

In addition to our normal opening hours of 10.30am-6.00pm we will be hosting a drinks reception on Wednesday 7th July from 6.30pm.

The exhibition consists of thirty artists each with a unique style, using a variety of materials for their paintings and sculptures. All the artists exhibit, live or work in and around Notting hill but many have also taken on the international scene; travelling all over the world to exhibit their art and developing their skills by understanding new customs and practices.

"This book is not about heroes. English Poetry is not yet fit to speak of them. Nor is it about deeds, or lands, nor anything about glory, honour, might, majesty, dominion, or power, except war. Above all I am not concerned with Poetry.

"My subject is War, and the pity of War.The Poetry is in the pity. Yet these elegies are to this generation in no sense consolatory. They may be to the next. All a poet can do today is warn. That is why true Poets must be truthful."

IT'S ALL UP IN THE AIR.
Paintings by Hester Berry
21st-29th October 2009

Hester Berry writes: My first solo exhibition in London aims to raise awareness of local issues which affect climate change - in particular the impending destruction of the village of Sipson in order to make room for a third runway at Heathrow airport. Sipson is a small village in the London borough of Hillingdon, which has had to contend with the construction and growth of the airport since the First World War. Now BAA (the owner of what was once a small military airfield, and is now the busiest international airport in the world) wants to force the sales of 700 homes, pubs, restaurants, shops, garages and a school – and bodies laid to rest in Cherry Lane Cemetery would be exhumed in order to make way for new infrastructure. The proposed expansion, backed by the Labour Party, would make Heathrow the single largest emitter of CO2 in the UK.

Robin Saikia of Gallery 118 writes: Recent reports that the Heathrow expansion scheme is to be scrapped in the wake of Conservative opposition should be taken with a pinch of salt. Whilst concerted opposition in the UK and throughout Europe has undoubtedly slowed things down, BAA remain committed to the project: “We [BAA] remain convinced that a third runway is the only viable, costed and thought through way of meeting the need for extra runway capacity to maintain this country’s global connections to the rest of the world, particularly in an era where long haul links to markets such as China and India are increasingly important. The process was always going to take until after the general election. We continue to work on the application and will take as long as is necessary to prepare a proper submission.” In other words, they’ll wait until the dust has settled before attempting to force through a superficially modified – but no less lucrative and damaging – proposal.

CHELSEA AND ST IVES: Artists from the Marjorie Parr Gallery, 1963-2009. Wednesday 7th October - Sunday 18th October 2009. (Photo: Study for Red Rum by Enzo Plazzotta). This landmark exhibition, curated by Mary Lambert, Peter Davies and Robin Saikia, includes work by Vivien ap Rhys Price, Peter Eugene Ball, Thetis Blacker, John Christopherson, Tom Davison, David Evans, Ernst Eisenmayer, Ewen Henderson, Philip Hicks, John Hitchens, Jeff Hoare, Eardley Knollys, Margaret Lovell, John Milne, Denis Mitchell, Margaret Neve, Breon O'Casey, Enzo Plazzotta, Douglas Portway, Barbara Rae, Peter Thursby, Jill Tweed, Aart van Kruiselbergen, Guy Worsdell and Catherine Yarrow. Private views: Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th October 2009. Peter Davies will be discussing his acclaimed new book Marjorie Parr's Artists.

Marjorie Parr (1906-2007) belonged to a distinguished coterie of London art dealers who effectively and enthusiastically promoted modern British art to an expanding audience during the 1960s and 1970s.

Parr's move, after beginning as an antique dealer specialising in glass, into the adjacent field of abstract sculpture and modern studio ceramics was almost fortuitous. Like many connoisseur dealers of the old school, she mixed business with pleasure and developed a particularly close rapport with her artists based as much on a belief in their work as on purely commercial factors. Many of these artists were based in St Ives in Cornwall, where she eventually opened a gallery to complement the one opened in the King's Road, Chelsea in 1963.

She was born Marjorie Hidden in 1906, the daughter of a music master at Rugby School, and music and ballet were her early passions. She married three times; and her third marriage, to Sam Parr, proved financially ruinous, leaving her in need of earning a living.

Accordingly, she opened a small shop in Watlington, Oxfordshire in 1959, trading in glass and antiques. Her real education as a dealer, however, came about on the Portobello Road in west London, where she ran a small street stall during the early 1960s. In late 1963, having found suitable premises (an old shoe shop) in Chelsea, she relocated to the King's Road. Bit by bit, Parr replaced glass with the equally precious, pristine shapes of abstract sculpture. The mixture of modern painting and antique furniture was unusual. The homely feeling recalled the domestic informality of Jim Ede's collection at Kettle's Yard in Cambridge whose dominant theme - St Ives artists - would likewise exert a decisive hold on Parr.

As the gallery established itself during the mid-1960s, Parr's faith not only in contemporary St Ives artists but also in the younger generation (including the children of famous artists) came to the fore. The result was an often imaginative and commercially successful mix of older and younger artists, London- or St Ives-based, who belonged to both the fine and applied arts.

As a girl Parr had been painted by Ivon Hitchens's father Alfred. Later she would exhibit both Ivon and his son John. Kate Nicholson, daughter of Winifred and Ben Nicholson, was also exhibited in thematic displays such as the broad-ranging floral still-life show held during the "flower power" summer of 1967, an exhibition that included Duncan Grant, Jean Marchand and Winifred Nicholson. By this point, Parr was respected enough to borrow from bigger, more established galleries like Waddingtons. A particularly ambitious exhibition in May 1971 included Jankel Adler, Jean Helion, John Piper, Victor Pasmore and Ben Nicholson.

Many of Parr's best shows revealingly juxtaposed a painter and a sculptor, as with Breon O'Casey and Denis Mitchell in May 1967. From 1967, the Chelsea-based neo-classical sculptor Enzo Plazotta was a regular. Plazotta's dancers and animated figures made him gallery breadwinner. But a more essential definition of what Parr's gallery was about was provided by a group of St Ives sculptors - Denis Mitchell, John Milne and Roger Leigh - who had worked for Barbara Hepworth during the 1950s. Together with Robert Adams, Margaret Lovell and Peter Thursby they made elegant, streamlined monolithic sculptures that cohered with the pure shapes of both glass and studio pottery. Mitchell introduced Parr to St Ives and exhibitions followed of Bernard and Janet Leach and other leading potters associated with St Ives.

The opening of the St Ives gallery (now the Wills Lane Gallery) in April 1967 encouraged Parr to renovate and simplify her Chelsea premises. From 1970 on, the Chelsea gallery relinquished antiques and concentrated more on abstract art. This did not preclude historical exhibitions such as a survey in 1969 of two centuries of English watercolour painting and an ambitious show during the summer of 1971 of "local" Chelsea artists grouped around the grand master James McNeill Whistler.

Although she never emulated the achievements of the great émigré or pioneering art dealers of post-war London, among them Henry Roland, Gustav Delbanco, Erica Brausen, Annely Juda or Andreas Kalman, Parr gained the trust and support of artists, collectors and dealers alike. She helped the businessman Stanley Picker create an unrivalled collection of contemporary British sculpture of the period and she worked with other galleries such as Michael Parkin and the Mercury Gallery. After reaching retirement in the mid-1970s she acted as a consultant to the Alwin Gallery and to David Gilbert, to whom she sold her gallery in late 1974.

Renamed the Gilbert Parr Gallery, the new gallery continued for eight years to show many of the artists, particularly sculptors, whose reputations Parr had done so much to build.

Peter Davies

For the many of us lucky enough to have known Marjorie Parr, writes Aart van Kruiselbergen, the overwhelming memory of her will be her tremendous kindness, her joie de vivre and her great gift for creating enduring friendships. Many of the clients of her gallery and almost all of us artists who exhibited there became firm friends.

Marjorie loved a good party and gave many memorable ones herself. She loved having fun and contributed joy and laughter to any gathering.

In the mid-Seventies I went on a holiday with her to the Netherlands. One evening we had dinner in a restaurant and at an adjoining table a Dutch family was having a dinner party which obviously centred on the matriarch of the family. When we were about to leave, Marjorie enquired what was being celebrated and when told that Mamma (who still walked with the aid of a walking stick) had recently come out of hospital after a hip-replacement operation, Marjorie informed the old lady that she would soon be as right as rain again. "I have had both hips done and look how well I have recovered." She then proceeded to do some very impressive high-kicks, to the great astonishment of the whole restaurant.

After she sold her gallery she dedicated her great energy to raising money for the Arthritis and Rheumatism Council.

Young British artist Christopher Page opens a new solo exhibition of controversial work at Gallery 118 in Notting Hill on Thursday evening 11th June. Among the striking large-scale works on show will be his Castro 'Crucifixion'.

The painting was commissioned by someone whom Gallery 118 diplomatically describes as a "leading British socialist". Pressed to confirm or deny rumours that Gordon Brown himself is the mystery patron, the dealer's lips remain sealed: "Let's just say it's someone who's put in a lot of time on both sides of the atlantic and in the gulf."

TREVOR PECKHAM-COOPER : March 16 - 23 2009

AN IMPORTANT RETROSPECTIVE EXHIBITION OF WORK BY TREVOR PECKHAM-COOPER in aid of Winston's Wish, the children's bereavement charity Click here for BBC 1 News

Gallery 118 presents an exhibition of creative and commercial work by leading advertising guru Trevor Peckham-Cooper (www.trevorpc.co.uk). Seminal early work for Bentley and Peter Stuyvesant will be shown alongside exciting and innovative works in oil and on paper created over the last two decades. The exhibition will raise money for Winston's Wish, the leading childhood bereavement charity and the largest provider of services to bereaved children, young people and their families. It offers practical support and guidance to families, professionals and anyone concerned about a grieving child.

After graduating from Art College in 1958 with an NDD (Hons) in graphic design, Trevor Peckham-Cooper worked for Holmewood Advertising on Chancery Lane as a junior visualiser. He spent his lunch breaks painting and drawing in the office whilst colleagues went out for lunchtime drinks. He soon built up a portfolio of 25 paintings and with a view to increasing his profile took the initiative of recruiting two trans-atlantic airline captains in Heathrow to sell his paintings to art galleries during stopovers and rest periods in New York. Over the next 18 months, the airline captains generated an ample interest in his work, to such an extent that the galleries were purchasing his paintings for £2,500 each and providing comfortable additional revenue in the mid 1960’s.

Unfortunately the pressures of the corporate advertising agency ladder working for company’s such as Greenleys, Royds, Freeman Mathis & Milne and McKay & Partners required him to concentrate and focus his efforts on his career and following a period working in South Africa with the publicly quoted Empisal Group, Trevor started his own agency in 1974. The company had great success and was rated by Marketing Week as 85 in the top 100 UK agencies at the time.

Following a successful advertising and marketing career spanning 30 years it was only in 2002 following the sudden death of his wife when Trevor rediscovered his love for painting. Over the following emotionally turbulent few years and with the responsibility of supporting and nurturing 3 young children following the death of their mother, Trevor set about producing an original and contemporary collection which now numbers over 1,500 works.

Trevor is currently developing contemporary stained glass techniques and re-engineering every day items to produce 3-dimensional pieces.

IMPORTANT HENDRIX PORTRAIT DISCOVERED IN LONDON

2009-02-18T13:34:00.000Z

An important early portrait of Jimi Hendrix
Oil on canvas, 36 x 48 inches, c. 1966. signed FABIAN

This striking portrait of Hendrix has come to light in London and is currently here at Gallery 118 in Notting Hill. The painting shows a young Hendrix at the outset of his career in London, as yet unscarred by drugs and fame and radiating an agreeably boyish charm. He wears the trademark yellow shirt in which he appeared at Monterey. He also wears a characteristically flamboyant waistcoat.

Jimi Hendrix was one of the most innovative and influential rock guitarists of the late '60s and perhaps the most important electric guitarist after Charlie Christian. His influence figures prominently in the playing styles of rockers ranging from Robin Trower to Vernon Reid to Stevie Ray Vaughan. A left-hander who took a right-handed Fender Stratocaster and played it upside down, Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before Hendrix had experimented with feedback and distortion, but he turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began. His expressively unconventional, six-string vocabulary has lived on in the work of such guitarists as Adrian Belew, Eddie Van Halen, and Prince. But while he unleashed noise--and such classic hard-rock riffs as "Purple Haze," "Foxy Lady," and "Crosstown Traffic"--with uncanny mastery, Hendrix also created such tender ballads as "The Wind Cries Mary," the oft-covered "Little Wing," and "Angel," and haunting blues recordings such as "Red House" and "Voodoo Chile." Although Hendrix did not consider himself a good singer, his vocals were nearly as wide-ranging, intimate, and evocative as his guitar playing.

Hendrix's studio craft and his virtuosity with both conventional and unconventional guitar sounds have been widely imitated, and his image as the psychedelic voodoo child conjuring uncontrollable forces is a rock archetype. His songs have inspired several tribute albums, and have been recorded by a jazz group (1989's Hendrix Project), the Kronos String Quartet, and avant-garde flutist Robert Dick. Hendrix's musical vision had a profound effect on everybody from Sly Stone to George Clinton to Miles Davis to Prince to OutKast. Hendrix's theatrical performing style--full of unmistakably sexual undulations, and such tricks as playing the guitar behind his back (a tradition that went back at least to bluesman T-Bone Walker) and picking it with his teeth--has never quite been equaled. In the decades since Hendrix's death, pop stars from Rick James and Prince to Lenny Kravitz and Erykah Badu have evoked his look and style.

As a teenager growing up in Seattle, Hendrix taught himself to play guitar by listening to records by blues guitarists Muddy Waters and B.B. King and rockers such as Chuck Berry and Eddie Cochran. He played in high school bands before enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1959. Discharged in 1961, Hendrix began working under the pseudonym Jimmy James as a pickup guitarist. By 1964, when he moved to New York, he had played behind Sam Cooke, B.B. King, Little Richard, Jackie Wilson, Ike and Tina Turner, and Wilson Pickett. In New York he played the club circuit with King Curtis, the Isley Brothers, John Paul Hammond, and Curtis Knight.

In 1965 Hendrix formed his own band, Jimmy James and the Blue Flames, to play Greenwich Village coffeehouses. Chas Chandler of the Animals took him to London in the autumn of 1966 and arranged for the creation of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, with Englishmen Noel Redding on bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums.

The Experience's first single, "Hey Joe," reached Number Six on the U.K. chart in early 1967, followed shortly by "Purple Haze" and its double-platinum debut album, Are You Experienced? (Number Five, 1967). Hendrix fast became the rage of London's pop society. Though word of the Hendrix phenomenon spread through the U.S., he was not seen in America (and no records were released) until June 1967, when, at Paul McCartney's insistence, the Experience appeared at the Monterey Pop Festival. The performance, which Hendrix climaxed by burning his guitar, was filmed by D.A. Pennebaker for the documentary Monterey Pop.

Hendrix's next albums were major hits (Axis: Bold as Love [Number Three, 1968], Electric Ladyland [Number One, 1968]) and he quickly became a superstar. Stories such as one reporting that the Experience was dropped from the bill of a Monkees tour at the insistence of the Daughters of the American Revolution became part of the Hendrix myth, but he considered himself a musician more than a star. Soon after the start of his second American tour, early in 1968, he renounced the extravagances of his stage act and simply performed his music. A hostile reception led him to conclude that his best music came out in the informal settings of studios and clubs, and he began construction of Electric Lady, his own studio in New York.

Hendrix was eager to experiment with musical ideas, and he jammed with John McLaughlin, Larry Coryell, and members of Traffic, among others. Miles Davis admired his instinctiveness (and, in fact, planned to record with him), and Bob Dylan--whose "Like a Rolling Stone," "All Along the Watchtower," and "Drifter's Escape" Hendrix performed and recorded--later returned the tribute by performing "Watchtower" in the Hendrix mode.

As 1968 came to a close, disagreements arose between manager Chas Chandler and co-manager Michael Jeffrey; Jeffrey, who opposed Hendrix's avant-garde leanings, got the upper hand. Hendrix was also under pressure from Black Power advocates to form an all-black group and play to black audiences. These problems exacerbated already existing tensions within the Experience, and early in 1969 Redding left the group to form Fat Mattress. Hendrix replaced him with an army buddy, Billy Cox. Mitchell stayed on briefly, but by August the Experience was defunct. In summer 1969 the double-platinum Smash Hits (Number Six) was released.

In August 1969, Hendrix appeared at the Woodstock Festival with a large, informal ensemble called the Electric Sky Church, and later that year he put together the all-black Band of Gypsys--with Cox and drummer Buddy Miles (Electric Flag), with whom he had played behind Wilson Pickett. The Band of Gypsys' debut concert at New York's Fillmore East on New Year's Eve 1969 provided the recordings for the group's only album during its existence, Band of Gypsys (Number Five, 1970). (A second album of vintage tracks was released in 1986.) Hendrix walked offstage in the middle of their Madison Square Garden gig; when he performed again some months later it was with Mitchell and Cox, the group that recorded The Cry of Love (Number Three, 1971), Hendrix's last self-authorized album. With them he played at the Isle of Wight Festival, his last concert, in August 1970, a recording of which would see release in 2002. A month later he was dead. The cause of death was given in a coroner's report as inhalation of vomit following barbiturate intoxication. Suicide was not ruled out, but evidence pointed to an accident.

In the years since his death, the Hendrix legend has lived on through various media. Randi Hansen (who appeared in the video for Devo's 1984 cover of "Are You Experienced?") became the best known of a bunch of full-time Hendrix impersonators, even re-forming the Band of Gypsys with bassist Tony Saunders and Buddy Miles--who, briefly in the late '80s, was replaced by Mitch Mitchell.

Well over a dozen books have been written about Hendrix, including tones by both Redding and Mitchell; the most authoritative bio was generally considered to be David Henderson's 'Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky, while Charles R. Cross's Room Full of Mirrors delves deepest into Hendrix's early years in Seattle. And virtually every note Hendrix ever allowed to be recorded has been marketed on over 100 albums, some of which mine his years as a pickup guitarist, various bootlegs and legitimate live concerts and jam sessions, and even taped interviews and conversations. A controversial series produced by Alan Douglas, who recorded over 1,000 hours of Hendrix alone at the Electric Lady studio in the last year of his life, garnered attention through the mid-'90s. With the consent of the Hendrix estate, Douglas edited the tapes, erased some tracks, and dubbed in others, with mixed results. Radio One collected energetic live-in-the-studio performances by Hendrix and the Experience recorded for British radio in 1967; the later BBC Sessions mined the same material more thoroughly.

In 1990 the first of several Hendrix tribute albums, If Six Was Nine, was released. Former Free/Bad Company/Firm vocalist Paul Rodgers released another tribute (The Hendrix Set, 1993) and appeared on the all-star Stone Free, which featured Hendrix covers from musicians ranging from Eric Clapton to Buddy Guy to the Cure to Ice-T to classical violinist Nigel Kennedy.

In 1991 Hendrix's ex-girlfriend Kathy Etchingham, along with Mitch Mitchell and his wife Dee, began prodding Scotland Yard to reopen an investigation into their friend's death. England's attorney general finally agreed to the request in 1993; in early 1994 Scotland Yard announced it had found no evidence to bother pursuing the case any further. In 1993 an audio-visual exhibit of Hendrix's work called "JimI Hendrix: On the Road Again" toured college campuses and art galleries in the U.S., to enthusiastic--and predominately young--audiences.

In 1994 a 24-year-old Swede named James Henrik Daniel Sundquist claimed to have been conceived by the guitarist and Eva Sundquist during a 1969 Stockholm sojourn. Sundquist legally challenged Hendrix's father, James "Al" Hendrix, as the sole heir to the Jimi Hendrix estate, which was estimated to be worth at least $30 million. A year earlier, Al Hendrix, who in the mid-'70s had signed away the rights to portions of his son's work to various international conglomerates, had claimed that he'd been misled. With the financial aid of Paul Allen, the billionaire Hendrix fan who'd cofounded Microsoft with Bill Gates, he filed a federal lawsuit against those conglomerates and against the holding companies and lawyers connected to the estate. In 1995 he regained complete control of his son's estate, which included Jimi Hendrix's finished and unreleased recordings, as well as his musical compositions. This evolved into a series of CD reissues that were remastered from the original tapes. Having re-released CDs of the guitarist's entire catalogue, the Hendrix estate, under the Experience Hendrix imprint of MCA, also issued the album on which Hendrix was working at the time of his death, First Rays of the New Rising Sun (Number 49, 1997). South Saturn Delta (Number 51, 1997) delved further into the archives. Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix (Number 133, 1998) followed, as did the double-CD BBC Sessions (Number 50, 1998), the Band of Gypsys-era Live at the Fillmore East (Number 65, 1999), Live at Woodstock (Number 90, 1999), and, in 2000, the four-CD/eight-LP Jimi Hendrix Experience box set. (Several other live discs were made available through an online imprint, Dagger Records.) Meanwhile Paul Allen amassed his cash to fund a modest Jimi Hendrix museum, which eventually blossomed into the $100 million Experience Music Project. Eight years in the making, the high-tech, interactive rock & roll museum - complete with a Jimi Hendrix Gallery - opened at the Seattle Center in 2000.

SEA VOICES - The Art of Jeff Hoare

2008-11-25T10:54:00.000Z

This film celebrates British artist Jeff Hoare's retrospective exhibition of sea paintings at Gallery 118, opening on November 27 2008, marking his lifelong engagement with the elemental power of the ocean.

His canvases are created in the sea, their colours and forms shaped and refined by the ebb and flow of the tide and the raw energy of the wind and rain. This footage of work in progress was captured on Folkestone beach by art dealer Robin Saikia, assisted by Vicki Carpenter, who is seen helping Jeff prepare paint and canvas for the unique ritual of 'sea painting' in the incoming tide. Jeff Hoare explains:

"The canvas is first immersed deep in the water. Colour is poured onto the surface. The waves deposit overlapping layers of paint. A series of profiles emerges, re-enacting the infinite depth of the sea. The process of creating and destroying synthesizes naturally with the momentum of the rising and breaking waves. And of course the sea reaches inland into the landscape: I have always been haunted by Eliot's words in The Four Quartets - 'The sea has many voices, Many Gods and many voices... The salt is on the briar rose, The fog is in the fir tree."

Jeff Hoare was born in 1923 and studied at the Chelsea School of Art and at the Royal College. From 1963 until 1995 he taught painting and drawing at St Martin's and Camberwell. He has directed art workshops all over the world, in Belgrade, Paris, Canada and Cameroun, and in 1985 he founded the Aegean School of Art in Kos. He has exhibited widely in Britain, the USA and Europe, with solo shows in London, Paris, New York and San Francisco.

Now! Gods, Beasts & Other Items

2008-10-14T17:25:00.000+01:00

Christopher Page has caused a furore before the opening of his one-man show of paintings at Gallery 118 in Notting Hill. The show, which opens at 6pm on Wednesday 15 October, comprises a series of paintings investigating the potent symbols of political and religious belief. Yesterday locals peered angrily through the window as the exhibition was being mounted, outraged by the startlingly photo-real paintings of vultures, poodles, children and gorillas, all wearing bizarre costumes and baubles adorned with swastikas, crescent moons, crucifixes, Stars of David and a medley of Masonic emblems. Yet the exhibition, maintain the artist and his dealer, does not set out to cause offence. It is an experiment in demystifying and neutralising dangerous symbology by presenting it in a highly-wrought kitsch context - since humour, after all, might be the ultimate means of deflating extremism and curing the world's ills. Page’s work is augmented by two installations by Christopher Shilling that look at sex, in particular the bittersweet discrepancy between ambition and achievement. The work proclaims a finely-tuned flippancy towards traditional techniques and media.

Christopher Page studied at Camberwell College of Art and graduated from Central St Martin's in 2007 with First Class Honours. He has exhibited at Studio 1.1, La Viande Gallery, the Ada Street Gallery. His major work ‘Dafur’ was exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, 2008. Collections include the Zabludovicz Collection, Mr and Mrs Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and the University of the Arts.

Christopher Shilling studied at Chelsea School of Art and graduated from Central St Martins in 2007 with First Class Honours. He is currently living in Paris and studying at the Ecole Nationale Superieure Des Beaux-Arts. He has exhibited at the Royal Academy, La Viande Gallery. His work is held in international private collections.
