Consuelo Child-Villiers

Consuelo Child-Villiers was born in 1953 in the UK to an English Father and Italian/Spanish Mother.

Consuelo lived between the UK and Italy throughout her childhood. Her Father moved to Jersey C.I. when Consuelo was a child . She was educated in the U.K. and spent holidays in Jersey and Italy.

Consuelo trained at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence Italy, where she studied sculpture. After spending a year travelling through India she returned to the Accademia and studied painting, followed by a year studying Modern Art at Forte studios in Florence.

Consuelo studied History of Art at Christies Fine Arts in London.

Her work has been acquired by various private collectors throughout Europe and the US and by corporations such as Debeers. Consuelo has exhibited her work extensively in London, New York, Italy and the South of France.

After twelve years in the South of France Consuelo now lives and works in London.

‘’…..bold line creates a strong geometry of often unlikely juxtapositions, the effect is to produce a powerful design element which both reinforces and constrains the content.
Thus, though she chooses to investigate a magical dream-like world, there is nothing mellow or whimsical in Consuelo’s style.”

Galleries Magazine

…..a vividness of colour, including dreams of a planetary sky, nature in all her luxuriance, feminine sensuousness and creature wilderness.
Then, with unexpected references to the mythological, an attraction for masks, for flora and movement, one is in the company of Matisse and up on the wings of Chagall.

Consuelo Child-Villiers returns to Mayfair this month ….with paintings which inhabit a magical world of mystery and imagination….fantasy animals, mysterious masked figures and fluid shapes recalling the Viennese Secessionists…there’s a hint of the Renaissance in the rich ,vivid colours and decorative detail of clothing and fabrics…

Jane Chapman

Jane Chapman – “I studied illustration at Brighton University a long, long time ago, but now I live in a tiny village in Dorset. I illustrate children’s books, and write them when I can think of a story.

Writing is more difficult than painting, but painting takes longer to do. I used to draw pictures sometimes under the pseudonym, Jack Tickle, but these days I am just Jane Chapman all the time.

I have illustrated over a hundred books, and am celebrating 25 years in Children’s Books – hooray! It is such a pleasure to see books become real. I sometimes have to pinch myself that a story can start in my brain and become an actual thing that people want to read.”

Generally this means we do not have a great deal of Jane’s work to show, but when she does do non-illustrative work it is fantastic and a pleasure to hang. Unfortunately for us she is normally busy working to publisher deadlines on commissions.

Johannes von Stumm

Johannes von Stumm is an internationally established sculptor living and working in Oxfordshire.

Johannes von Stumm’s combination of very different materials has attracted public and critical acclaim over decades. His sculpture joins metal, stone and glass to create abstract or reduced figurative works in which apparently conflicting materials exist in complex harmony.

Von Stumm’s choice of media and instinct for experimentation is rooted in his background, in a childhood spent at the foot of the Alps with long winters, ice and rocks. His love of steel and glass is intertwined with his family history: ancestors on his father’s side were blacksmiths and steel factory owners for 250 years, his mother’s ancestors owned a glass factory in Bohemia. He initially studied law in Munich and then turned towards art, first in Munich, then more widely in Germany, London, New York before settling in Oxfordshire.

Amongst many honours he is a past President of the Royal British Society of Sculptors.

“Johannes von Stumm’s unique combination of three different materials has attracted public and critical acclaim in a decade of successful exhibitions, both in the UK and abroad. His startlingly original sculpture, which engages continually with risk and a defiance of accepted laws, joins iron, granite and glass to create abstract or reduced figurative works in which apparently conflicting materials exist in complex harmony.” – by Nicola Upson

Mary Gillett

My starting points are often found on Dartmoor and the north Cornwall coastline. My images are contemplations on how our surroundings can reflect our histories, moods and thoughts. I specialise in etching, a medium that has been developed by artists for its own intrinsic qualities and is now often used to produce single images as individual as paintings.

My etchings almost look as if they have been eroded by the elements themselves. The metal plates have been scored, furrowed, scraped, burnished, re-scored and re-furrowed until their history is symbolic of the very subject confronting me. This tactile immediacy is of the essence and combines with the use of light and dark to create images of intense atmosphere. I sometimes apply etching principles to the medium of collagraph so that I can work on a larger scale to reflect my love of painting which continues to influence everything I do.

As a member of the South West Academy, the Plymouth Society of Artists and the 21 Group of Artists, I exhibit widely at key venues in the west country. I have been selected on many occasions to show work at the Royal West of England Academy and the National Print Shows at the Bankside Gallery, London.

Born in 1953 I moved to Devon with my parents in 1956. I left home to study art in 1975 and by 1984 had achieved an honours degree in Fine Art at the University of the West of England, and a PGCE and postgraduate diploma in Printmaking at Brighton University before moving back to Devon in 1988.

I have over 25 years’ experience of teaching printmaking having founded Tamar Print Workshop in 1992. I offer courses exploring a range of techniques and the studio, set in a beautiful position on the edge of Dartmoor, has become a vibrant hub for numerous local artists and printmakers. I enjoy the continuous exchange of ideas generated from this atmosphere and see my teaching as integral to my overall practice.

Sarah Moore

Stone is the material I have fallen in love with, however I enjoy using many other materials as well. There is something magical about hitting a piece of stone which is millions of years old with a hammer and chisel and finding the form you are looking for within it.

Sometimes the stone dictates what it wants to be and sometimes it is the other way round and it is me who dictates what I want from the stone.
All my work is carved by hand, I like to “feel my way” around the stone as I work.

The majority of my work is based on the human form, sometimes representational often abstract. I want to evoke a feeling of empathy or bonding with my sculpture, I want to convey emotions. My interest in the body stems from my early career as a radiographer, I am fascinated by the way shapes can blend seamlessly into one-another and sometimes end up with a form which is totally unexpected.

The tactile quality of a piece of work is important to me, I like my work to felt physically as well as emotionally.

I teach stone carving and wood carving as well as painting and mosaics. My passion lies with the materials themselves, how they relate and how an image can be coaxed out of them.

Maggie Farmer

The study of the human figure has been a constant practice in Maggie’s career. However, her aim is to go beyond a mere representation of subject to one that reflects the intimacy of the naked body and a sense of mood & atmosphere. Her life drawing not only stands alone as a means of expression … Read more

Ruth Ander

I am an artist and printmaker living in the South West of England. Water, light and vapour are the three elements that inspire my work.

My technique is perfectly suited to expressing these inspirations-delicate, translucent drifts of colour on fine tissue paper and traditional hand-made Japanese paper. Painted prints or printed paintings- the results are multi-layered impressions.

The prints are made by rolling ink onto a piece of glass or plastic, then taking an impression by hand. In this way layers of colour and texture are built up. Some layers are so delicate they appear breathed onto the paper, the finished effect of texture and translucency being something between an old Italian fresco, an English landscape painting and a Japanese woodblock print.

Alison Wear

I first studied ceramics and subsequently sculpture at Kingston Polytechnic then theatre design at Wimbledon School of Art. After a career in films and television I reinvented myself as a garden designer. Now I have returned to my first love and find inspiration in organic and zoomorphic forms, especially the work of the Amlash potters living 6,000 years ago in Iran.

All my ‘morph’ pieces are handmade. They are formed with care and then burnished to a soft sheen before being subjected to fire and intense heat. I do not use glazes as I prefer the smoke and fire to infuse the pieces, blending with the stoneware clay to create strange and interesting colours, and making each unique.

My approach is very low tech and much of my work is done in a wood with sticks and a dustbin or a homemade wood burning kiln.

Philippa Headley

Christies’ Graduate, Philippa Headley is a full time independent artist based in the UK driven by passion to produce expressionist oil paintings as a response to her surroundings.
Her inspiration is found in the natural forces of the ever changing landscape. The initial emotional response to this landscape is captured with sketches and drawings which are then worked from back in her studio.

From initial plein air tonal study to finished painting, the process allows creativity to intervene at each step – whether selecting the colour palette to reflect first light at sunrise or darkening storming skies through to finalising compositional adjustments and surface textures. She has a diploma from the Royal Society of Arts.

Collectors :- Her collectors react to the evocative and atmospheric qualities of her artworks, which are in collections throughout Europe, Australia and America.
Some typical comments : “All our visitors have remarked on the dramatic quality of your paintings”, “We are so pleased with our second purchase it looks perfect above the fireplace”, “Beautiful original work with such a luminous quality”.
