The popular Northcote Gallery has two exhibitions which I thought I would share with you.
The first at Northcote Gallery Battersea (110 Northcote Road, London, SW11) is ‘Coast and Country’ and is a selection of Sussex seascapes by Tom Homewood who uses what he calls “a post-war ‘west country approach’ – working on textured panels with strong mark-making and a pared-down palette that includes many shades of white, grey and ‘black’.”
At their Northcote Gallery Chelsea (253 King’s Road, London, SW3) they have an exhibition of still-lifes by Jo Barrett. The secret to her pictures, which while echoing 18th century pictures remain firmly in the present, is her skilful use of light and shade.
