· Filed under Exhibitions ·Tagged artade, college of arts, falmouth, galleries, illustration
Artade was founded a few years ago basing its creative output in Cornwall. In the past the collective has transformed bars and public spaces to show work, as well as gallery shows which have included Demelza’s Gallery, The Soup Gallery and the Artade Inkjam 2009 competition held at Babahogs gallery. Now with what is to be the third gallery show, the here and now gallery support Artades to date, most collective exhibition. The idea behind this show is to demonstrate how all the artist’s work can combine together to take on a space allowing lines and marks to travel from one canvass to the next. The aim is to allow for the canvasses to become more like walls and less like objects so that a fluid organic movement across the whole gallery space can be achieved. We have 14 artists working on these canvasses: Ben Sanderson, Victoria Wright, Louise Lane, Ingun Dybendal, Jorund Hannevold, LouisLlou.I, David Procter, Vera Edwards, Jez Beswick, D-baby, Nichole Cooper, Insane, Rebecca Crawford and Thor Aaberg. This is an exciting collection of very fresh work that has never been displayed as of yet, showcasing some of the most upcoming under counter, sub culture artists in Cornwall. This show is something not to miss out on.
Private view 1st May 5-8pm

Coming to the Gallery in March we have not one but two talented local illustrators, Anna Lewis and Laura Smith. Both have very different styles but are equally obsessed with drawing, together they will be showcasing work that will complement each other and provide inspiration for many others.
Anna graduated with a Graphic Design Photography degree in 2000 and has since worked in various creative commercial roles as well as teaching. However it is through her personal illustration work that she finds the most fulfilment as it gives her the freedom to speak from the heart.
Anna says “I am obsessed with making pictures. It is a way of communicating the happy and the sad, the mad and the magical things of life in a raw and honest way. I like to catch and record small and abstract moments of life onto the page, using a mixture of mediums, and make them into something beautiful and more than they may have otherwise been.”
See more of Anna at http://letshavealookanna.blogspot.com
Laura graduated from Glasgow School, of Art in 2006 and has since exhibited in both solo and group exhibitions, most often with large video and sound installations concerned with the spaces between illusion and reality, fact and fiction.
This work is encouraged by a primary affection for storytelling, which is used to create work that is not located wholly in reality but exists in a seemingly fictional sphere; narrative is the key and is fostered greatly by mythology and community histories.
Laura says “I have always used drawing as a tool, often this relegates it to the realm of research, however I have always felt this to be unfair and have sought to utilise my drawings autonomously in a manner which enables them to act out all of the above.
My drawings are chiefly concerned with themes of community and control as well as wider issues of the female and her role within this community. These somewhat abrasive notions are, I hope, soothed by the lyrical approach of the drawing.”

The next exhibition we have lined up in the gallery for February, which will feature paintings from local artist Lucy Apple. The exhibition will run from 2nd – 28th February and there will be a private view on Friday 6th from 6 – 8pm to which you are all invited. I hope I will see you there if you can make it. Here is a little bit about Lucy… Lucy is a unique artist who can escape through painting, exploring and pushing the boundaries between a disabled world and the able-bodied world. She graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art, London with a Masters in Fine Art (MFA). Previously she achieved a BA at Falmouth College of Art. ‘I use humour as my inspiration to produce large-scale, brightly coloured figurative paintings in acrylic. I want my work to dominate me. I have a physical disability – Cerebral Palsy. This affects my speech and hand co-ordination. My awkward hand movements work to my advantage when I paint. This helps me to express all my frustration and it brings spontaneity to the paintings. Without being able to verbally communicate with strangers easily at first, my work acts like a visual voice. I want to break down barriers between disabled and able-bodied people. For me, I don’t want any barriers in my way’. Also with Valentine’s day just around the corner if you would like to get something for the someone special in your life come and check out our artists range of cards and prints, all under a tenner (and much better than the usual slush!).

From the 6th until 31st January we will be showing work by freelance illustrator David Procter at the Here and Now Gallery, 41a Killigrew Street Falmouth.
If you didn’t get everything you wished for from Santa maybe now is your chance to treat yourself to something special.
A recent graduate from North Wales School of Art and Design in Illustration David recently moved to Falmouth to enjoy life by the sea for a while following the gloom of living in North Wales. “With my work I try to approach ideas so that they reflect my strong interest in things that stray a little from the ‘norm.’ The result is a series of bizarre and extremely eccentric characters and darker, but melancholic, environments. My work encompasses a sense of humour, albeit a grim one, that I feel is needed to keep spirits high in drab times. Drawing on a range of different themes I have managed to create a collection of work that explores a wide variety of topics while still expressing my own personal stamp”.
The gallery is open from 10am -5pm tuesday – saturday.

Our latest exhibition is a collaboration between Robin Boyden, Will Grant and Sarah Brown who have all recently graduated from the Falmouth University Illustraton Course.
Robin achieved First Class Honours in 2007 and now works as an illustrator based in the UK. He is currently represented by Advocate Illustration agency in London and has worked for clients including the NHS, VCN Group and the Guardian.
Sarah has recieved Highly Commended by the MacMillian Prize for Children’s illustration. She loves to draw interesting and unusual characters, in delightful and magical settings giving animals and humans distinctive and expressive personalities with a touch of humour.
Will loves illustration, the visual arts generally and often get overenthusiastic on the subject. “I believe art is best used and best enjoyed complimenting and commenting on other facets of life, and my favourite artists tend to be naive, or those with more than one passion in their lives. As such, I am going to sea to work as a ship’s officer, and hope (possibly while being held captive by pirates) that I will be inspired by the exciting things I see. I have a BA(Hons) in Illustration from Falmouth and bl**dy miss Cornwall”
The exhibition will run from the 1st-31st December with a variety of affordable work all available to purchase and take home in time for Christmas..

‘Presence of Absence’
Toby Millinder at Here and Now Gallery
Toby graduated from Falmouth College of Arts last year and has since travelled to China, where he practiced Shaolin kung fu and learnt to speak Mandarin. He continued with his photography whilst there, with his landscape enquiries and reportage. With a Shaolin monk and a friend he wrote and shot a book about Shaolin Kung fu; soon to be published.
The china project was funded with a series of work that won the Thomas Gowar memorial Prize affiliated with the British Institution of Professional Photography (BIPP).
Artist statement:
“The seer and the spectacle, the subject and the object, are one.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Photographs are portraits of the people that take them, not necessarily a visual likeness but more of an internal portrait of their inner landscape of emotion, personality and philosophy. The camera is traditionally deemed as a receptacle, however I see it as a projector; well the eye as the projector and the camera as the implement for the eye to project through. I invest myself within the scenes I make photographs from, either feeling compelled to shoot or to construct scenes. The images in ‘Presence of Absence’ explore the way in which the deeper levels of the mind construct images via memories.
All work is framed with hand made English oak frames.
