Fenton House and Garden

This place (Fenton House in Hampstead, London) does reminds me of my childhood, when staying at uncles’ house, in the summer. Where my sister and I used to play all day with cousins S. and M. A place where all the family used to came together for celebrations and much more; where I got my first scar; the first local “girlfriend”; ...

Jim Woodall (b.1978, Oxford) lives and works in London. Woodall works across diverse media: sculpture, photography, video, installation and performance. His work stems from a personal and socio-political encounter with the built environment and reflects upon land ownership, human-led accelerated entropy and how technology affects our relationship with and memory of landscape.
Recent exhibitions include Tomorrow People, Elevator Gallery, London, 2013; React, Dilston Grove, 2013 and Olympic State, See Studios, London, 2011.
Woodall was a founding member of CutUp collective, an interventionist art group, from 2004-9.

Alexander Page (b. 1983, London) lives and works in London. Page's work engages with memory and landscape. Landscape is used as a foil or a cipher to unlock direct relationships with the self, memory, nostalgia, loss and love. His work speaks of wandering, nostalgic journeys, of days spent lost in reverie but also of art and image making as a form of release from melancholia.
Recent exhibitions include A Dense Glitter of Alternatives, Vitrine Gallery, London and Like a Monkey Puzzle Tree, Copeland Park Gallery, London (as part of the Art Licks festival), both 2013.

Luke Burton (b.1983, London) lives and works in London. Burton's work crosses sculpture, installation, photography, video and drawing to explore the irreducible complexity of aesthetic reception and pleasure, and probe the convoluted relationship between architecture, class and taste. Humour and play infiltrate a restrained and serious language of the decorative within his work and enable a critical dissidence from formal and socio-political constraints.

I did went to Diango Hernández's The New Man and the New Woman private view, at Marlborough Contemporary, but stopped for some moments, on the ground floor, at Marlborough Fine Art, to see David Dawson's marvelous work on London, Wales and New York.

David Dawson, N. W. Influence (oil on linen, 165.1x203.2cm), 2013

«David Dawson has been a painter for nearly thirty years. For much of this time he was the late Lucian Freud's assistant and regular model. Dawson's painting develop quietly behind the scenes of Freud's studio life - a life that quickly became fully enmeshed wit his own.» The Welsh «paintings speak of his total immersion in this landscape, physically and psychologically. His varied brushstrokes and colour relationships define the lie and character of the land with a sureness that seems felt as much as observed. For Dawson it is a 'euphoric' landscape.» (in "David Dawson London : Wales : New York", by Barnaby Wright)
