3 - 18 June 2017

In this group exhibition 10 artists show work with the theme of water and steam. Opening evening 1 June 6-9. The theme for the E17 Art Trail 2017 is STEAM, the acronym that recognises the place of Art alongside the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

I have two paintings showing in the exhibition: 'Sunshine Through Clear Water' and 'Sparkling Water'. They are both oil on panel, framed.

Studio1.1:
'Of all the buzzwords we've had to get used to over the past few years, ('buzzwords' included) 'austerity' is one of the most popular. Popular with agenda-pushing politicians, that is. Not necessarily so welcome to the rest of us.
In the spirit of hope (against hope) we'd like to offer our Summer show, chosen from among studio1.1's membership. We asked for excess, exuberance and excitement. We got all of those in good measure and some sharp doses of irony too. We hope it helps.'

The Whole Picture No. 4

Every year on the long, tree-lined pathway to Walthamstow Town Square in East London the trees will grow pieces of art to be picked!
Art Grows on Trees is one of Waltham Forest Arts Club's projects for the E17 Art Trail 2014.

My work for the project: this will be the fourth year I have continued this idea.
The Whole Picture No. 4
A painting project by Julie Caves
I created a 22x30in acrylic painting on paper and cut it into 30 pieces and marked on the back to show its place. They each make a nice artwork that can be framed.  Plus there is the possibility that sometime in the future all 30 recipients will get together and the pieces of the painting will be reunited and they can see the whole picture.

I am installing 10 of the 30 on each of the three Saturday mornings of the project - May 31, June 7 & 14.

Long-time Blackhorse Lane residents Blackhorse Lane Studios are back after a two year break with their always popular Open Studios weekend, featuring 28 artists opening up their workshops to reveal their varied practices, alongside a packed programme of events: 

28 Open Studios / Silent Auction / ‘Artworks Open’ / Kids Quiz / Blackhorse Arts Trek / & More! 

Blackhorse Trek blog

Barbican Arts Group Trust Silent Auction - see the 64 works and submit your bid

As always this will include a chance to bid for one of the many original artworks displayed around the building in our Silent Auction. Bidding takes place in the studios and also via our website. 

The auction starts on Friday 6th May at 6pm, the moment we open the doors for our Launch Event, 6-9pm, signalling the beginning of our weekend of activities. All are welcome to join us for a drink, refreshments and perhaps a lucky bid! 

Also launching at this event is the ‘Artworks Open’ exhibition in our Project Space gallery, a group show of the very best work selected for this national competition. The winner, announced on the night, will receive £1000 and a solo show in the gallery. 

This year we are also linking up with two other key members of the Blackhorse scene, Made By Ore jewellery workshop and Blackhorse Workshop, for the inaugural ‘The Blackhorse Arts Trek’, joining all three up into a local tour and series of events, just follow the yellow horse shoes

And for our keen smaller visitors there is the Kids Quiz with questions set by each artist to unlock secrets about the artworks in their studios. Special prizes courtesy of Jackson’s Art Supplies. 

And a special reward for those who make it round all three ‘Blackhorse Arts Trek’ locations, a limited edition Trekkers Rossette, with making tables at each venue. 

This year the Blackhorse Lane Studios: Open Studios 2014 will again invite members of the public to explore the working spaces of our 28 artists: painters, sculptors, photographers and performers, working with a whole variety of materials, ideas and making processes:

Nooks, Crannies and Niches
Seven artists in Waltham Forest Arts Club will be creating an exhibition 
at The Maker's Yard, an amazing space in East London. 
June 11-15, 2014

Julian Beere - will present an interactive 'hide and seek' artist bookwork based on an idea presented at the 'Nature Culture' exhibition at The Makers Yard, in 2013.

Fiona Emm - will present a textiles hanging.

Natalie Gray - will present a mixed media installation.

Julie Caves - will present a sculptural installation of mythical female figures camouflaged within the lush setting of The Makers Yard garden. 

Nicolette Murin - will present Waves, a site specific interaction, in the greenhouse of The Makers Yard.

Anna Bisset - will present environmental drawings made in and directly from the environment, be they outdoor or interior spaces. They will be evidence of time spent in quiet contemplation in an otherwise busy and demanding world and, as such, represent a break or a temporary escape from this reality, whilst depicting another aspect of it.

My paintings at the Abbey Summer Show

Last weekend was the always amazing Abbey Summer Show in Barnet, North London. If you were there you know what I am talking about!

Work was on display in a few different places including the clock tower, open studios and workshops, and Lisa Freeman made a gallery out of the glass cases along the wall of the arcade.

My new paintings were in the 12th century barn/church.
I took these pictures without a tripod so they are a bit blurry.
You can see better pictures of the paintings on my website. The series is called Elusive Memories. As always, the main concern is the investigation of colour. The wood panels are heavy with lots of layers of paint and some are really shiny.
