Van Gogh Alive

On Monday 20th September, I should have been going to London for the re-opening of my Mother’s old Dancing School in south east London, which had been bought and restored by some of the Stars from Strictly. Unfortunately, it was cancelled due to covid restrictions, so instead of getting a refund on my train ticket, I decided to go to Kensington Gardens and take a look at the Van Gogh Alive exhibition.

Cley 21

a colour of air by Martin Battye

The Cley Exhibition this year had been delayed due to the Covid Crisis – this enabled some artists to explore their ideas and creativity in a much more extreme imaginative way. Most notable were Martin Battye with his massive abstract paintings and Esther Boehm with ‘Ether’ an installation of great magnitude and sensitivity to the space, i.e. St Margarets at Cley.

The church in itself is stunning and the art must compete with this very beautiful ancient setting. Outside there were small installation pieces and on the outside wall of the church four massive wall-hangings suspended beautifully by Margie Britz all about the coast and beaches and stones and pebbles – very exciting.

At the Visitor Centre there were stunning charcoal framed pieces of moonlight and daytime and much more.

Esther Boehm’s Ether

‘Nowhere’. Cley 2021

Esther Boehm’s ‘Ether’ is a stunning work. Immediately visible on entering the church of St Margaret of Antioch at Cley, its repeated forms are both separate and work as a composite whole. White, suspended in the air above the baptismal font and above the tombstone of Francis Neale Gent (1711); in front of the magnificent west window, catching every nuance of light on and through the fluctuating sheen texture of each form. This maximises both visibility and the symbolic purity of white. Sometimes it even reflects the stone structure of the cinquefoil and arch of the window behind. Continue reading

Thornham Village Hall

We would like to welcome you to our annual exhibition at Thornham Village Hall.

At Art 21 we are a group of friends who meet weekly in the Norfolk village of Dersingham. We have a mixture of both professional and amateur artists. Several of the group are also active members of the West Norfolk Artists Association and contribute to other open exhibitions.

The group was originally formed in the year 2,000, hence the name Art 21, being the 21st century. The membership numbers have always been limited to about a dozen to keep the purpose of the group as one of artists working together without the need for committees, officers etc.

The aim of the group is to work and communicate with like-minded accomplished artists in a friendly creative atmosphere and to provide exhibiting facilities for its members. The exchange of ideas and mutual encouragement is an approach which we hope underpins the quality and standard of our work.

Ether by Esther Boehm at Cley 21 – nowhere

The North Norfolk Exhibition Project celebrates their 20th anniversary with

nowhere
not in or to anyplace, not anywhere – nowhere is now here

Exhibition dates: 1 July to 1 August 2021

This year the remarkable North Norfolk Exhibition Project celebrates 21 years with the 20th exhibition, intended for 2020 and realised this summer.

The space under the bridge between Wiveton and Cley was known as nowhere, perhaps because it marked the boundary between two parishes and led at one time to an island in the estuary – another nowhere. Norfolk had a village Nowhere and we can travel down Nowhere Lane. Nowhere presents a challenge, a paradox to play with. For Cley, nowhere is both somewhere very specific and a particular experience – of being now here.

nowhere embraces work that signals our psychological spaces, exhibited here temporarily, but ultimately belonging everywhere and nowhere – work that brings our attention firmly back to the now here.

The 20th exhibition, curated by Amanda Geitner, features work by 50 artists and includes painting, sculpture, textiles, photography and ceramics – a marvellous range of new work addressing themes as diverse as the migration of birds, the movement of the stars and the pure pleasure that can be found in colour and form.

‘I am very proud to be counted amongst the curators of this extraordinary project. The 20th anniversary is particularly special for me. In 2001 I was married in Salthouse Church when the very first exhibition was on show. My father and I walked down the aisle around an installation by Gordon Senior – 20 years on, I am still married and I still love Gordon’s work! I am thrilled that his work also features in nowhere. We are part of a great and vibrant community of artists and curators who have been involved in the North Norfolk Exhibition Project for two decades. Cause for celebration indeed.’ Amanda Geitner

The show is open daily from July 1st to August 1st from 10am—5pm. Entry is free and a catalogue is available. A range of artist-led workshops, talks and events are being organised in compliance with current restrictions.
