Croydon Radio Interview

Exhibitions, News

Last week was pretty hectic with the launch of ‘Street Scene Croydon’ at the wonderful Cafe Adagio. When the rush was over I sat down for a chat about the exhibition, life at Stanley Halls, future plans and inspirations with Janet Smith from the Croydon Radio Arts show. Here is the link.

 

 

 

Street Scene Croydon

Exhibitions, News

I’ll be shoflyer1 sharewing some of my most recent Croydon paintings at Cafe Adagio in Addiscombe this August. It’s just round the corner from home and not even round the corner from Addiscombe Tram Stop which is the subject of my painting ‘Walk This Way’ making the choice of flyer image rather straight forward.

There will be a get-together on the 6th Aug 5pm to 7pm at Cafe Adagio, 227 Lower Addiscombe Road and I’d be delighted if you came along. After that the show is up until 2nd September, take a look at the Cafe Adagio website for opening times.

Crane Lights

Uncategorized

Crane lightsCranes have become a bit of a fixture in central Croydon over the last couple of years. I rather like them there with their slow movements and sparkling lights which form halo’s when it rains. On this particular occasion they put me in mind of ‘Starry Night’ by van Gough which has always been one of my favorite paintings. It’s now on show with four more of my paintings at the Bankside Gallery in London until 2nd May.

United Society of Artists

News

I’m really pleased to announce that I was elected a full member of the United Society of Artists at the beginning of the year.  Which means I now get to call myself Bev Jones U.A. if I want to. I have to admit it’s a slightly strange concept still but it’s really nice to be recognised by this very talented group of artists.

The next UA members exhibition is also coming up fast now and will open on the 26th April @ the Bankside Gallery on the South Bank in London. There will be a Private View on the opening evening.and it would be great to see you all there.

I’ve been painting in the spare room at home for the past few years so I’m really excited to announce that in the New Year I will be taking a studio for the first time. It will be at Stanley Halls in South Norwood which is a great old building with a fabulous gallery and lots of creative energy going on. If you would like to visit me at the Halls please drop me a line first and I’ll be very happy to show you around.

New Paintings On Show at Stanley Halls

Exhibitions

I’ve had a change around of the paintings showing in the wonderful gallery at Stanley Halls in South Norwood. In particular the larger version of ‘Moon Over Stanley’ has gone home for a few months and will be on display alongside other new works such as ‘Climbing’ and ‘Morning People’.

The Halls are open on a slightly ad hoc basis for events so do keep an eye on their website to find out what is on. In particular the ‘Invention Festival’ of performances will be taking place at the halls on 12th/13th June. http://www.stanleyhalls.org.uk/invention-festival/
