There are 414 artworks addition closed to ex-catalogue plant inwards the 2014 Annual Exhibition of the New England Art Club which is currently showing at the Mall Galleries inwards London until 1pm on Dominicus seventh December.
Below y'all tin reveal out to a greater extent than nearly the exhibition, the events, the prizewinners, closed to of the artists, the fine art I liked too the alter inwards arrangements for the 2015 exhibition.
The outset thing to tell is that, later seeming to lose its identity final year, this exhibition "looks" similar a NEAC exhibition again.
However, the same cannot hold upwards said for the prizewinners which to my take heed are non example of the exhibition every bit a whole - amongst a brace of exceptions.
You tin likewise come across plant inwards the exhibition:
There are a issue of NEAC Drawing School FREE Events beingness held during the 2014 Exhibition - the link gives y'all the listing.
I'm going to hold upwards care the Egg Tempera workshop amongst Ruth Stage on Wednesday.
I'm absolutely intrigued past times her technique - too a demo is involved!
This year's exhibition is much improve than final year's too I'm assuming activity was taken over the choice procedure because I'm for sure seeing a lot to a greater extent than color this twelvemonth - although 1 cardinal wall is murkier than most.
I was real pleased to come across that NEAC asked each of its members to pigment a smaller too to a greater extent than affordable paradigm - too that the display of these paintings surrounded the 'cafe' surface area of the westward gallery. They non only looked neat on the greyness walls - I likewise noticed that quite a few of them were sporting a cerise dot.
I intend this is a strategy for exhibition too displaying that a lot of the other FBA societies could usefully follow.
I'm nevertheless real much NOT a fan of a strategy which puts members only inwards the large West Gallery too relegates a lot of the opened upwards entry to the North Gallery. If all the members were producing top notch run that would hold upwards fine every bit a strategy - but the fact of the affair is that artists from the opened upwards entry are producing plant which SHOULD hold upwards inwards the large West Gallery. Knowing that at that topographic point is no guarantee that their run volition hold upwards exhibited inwards the best gallery would, inwards my opinion, upwards the ante for the members too brand sure that they submit their best work! I'm all for an opened upwards exhibition beingness competitive for everybody! :)
ATTENTION ALL ARTISTS!
The NEAC Annual Exhibition is changing its slot inwards the exhibition schedule for 2015. Hence inwards future
The Doreen McIntosh Prize (£5,000) went to Michael Cooper. I'm afraid it does aught for me. For those who must instantly hold upwards thing I genuinely don't similar uncomplicated too abstracted figurative paintings, I genuinely loved James Rushton's landscapes
The Arts Club Award (£1,000) was carve upwards betwixt 2 artists too 3 paintings - I'm assuming each got £500.
The Dry Red Press Award went to Angela Bell for her small-scale but acutely observed paradigm of The Observer. It managed to mix painterly qualities amongst realism.
The NEAC Critics Prize went to Salliann Putman NEAC RWS for Landscape Layers which was likewise a lot smaller than I was expecting
I absolutely LOVED Fred Cuming's silkscreen prints. In fact I'd tell it's worth going to the exhibition to come across these alone. I'd honey to come across him hit one. Mind y'all I don't intend I've ever seen anything produced past times Fred Cuming which I've non liked.
I e'er taste seeing the etchings too watercolour paintings of Richard Bawden NEAC RE RWS. It's non merely the cats - I likewise genuinely similar his real accessible informal style! (Incidentally for those who hit similar the cats, someone has ready a Pinterest Board of Edward & Richard Bawden at the Museum of Cat Art. I hadn't realised that pics of the Bawden household unit of measurement cats tin line their heritage dorsum to Louis Wain!)
I liked Christopher Baker's real large landscape/sky paintings - they had a lot of atmosphere too impact. This is the form of abstraction inside figurative paradigm that I prefer to see.
Karn Holly, the founder fellow member too primary theorist of the NEAC Drawing School too a NEAC member, died on 2 Nov 2014.
There is an exhibition wall of her inimitable artwork inwards the exhibition inwards tribute - too a mass for ex-students too those who knew her to write remembrances which volition hold upwards used inwards the memorial service. Oddly at that topographic point is no reference to her passing on the website or Facebook Page too her page has been removed from the website.
Here's my sketch of Karn Holly inwards an interesting NEAC Panel Discussion nearly drawing inwards 2007.
