Forewords
‘From where I stand I see you – dream with your eyes wide open, there is no beauty without some strangeness. Draw a line around your thoughts and dissolve into the sky. We are all broken – that’s how the light gets in. It haunts me and never leaves, we grow up but the monsters stay. Quiet people have the loudest minds and silence is so accurate… Quiet little voices.’
Louisa is a London based mixed media artist. Versatile and imaginative yet highly technical, she combines traditional art education with an emphasis on figurative studies. Most of her original artworks are on oxidized steel, and she has recently produced a series of watercolour portraits.
National and international level, including: London, The Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh, Chicago, Boston MA (Copley Society of Art) , New Jersey, Tel Aviv, Budapest and Vienna to name but a few. She has many works in private and corporate collections around the world. Louisa has been commissioned by many celebrity clients including musicians and Hollywood A-list.
Louisa’s debut collection received considerable attention with works accepted for the screening project at the Saatchi Gallery, London. Her work heavily relies on inspiration from urban art. A related term is “sgraffito“, which involves scratching through one layer of pigment to reveal another beneath it. This is exactly the process used when working on oxidised steel – constantly grinding away the surface to the past scribes of paint and collage from the previous point, giving the work further depth each and every time. Her latest collection and technique has developed over 12 months and has pushed the oxidisation process to extreme new levels. Louisa has perfected “painting in with nature to allow the rusting process to create the image”.

Kimi Zoet – Exhibition dates from the 3rd-10th September 2021
Kimi Zoet’s solo show; ‘I’m gonna steal my f***ing heart back!’ is ripe in storytelling, make-believe characters and powerful in colour. The artist’s wild imagination paired with her desire to depict both herself and the people she encounters make for illustrative and autobiographical works of art.
Zoet uses a mixture of materials, often working with mediums that allow her to create work as quickly as possible. She writes: ‘For me, making art is like chasing thoughts; it must be done with urgency before they disappear and are forgotten.’
In the body of work produced for the show you will encounter talking lightbulbs, angels, pineapple people and nomadic travellers. These characters live in Zoet’s imagination and help her navigate the complex, shifting world we live in.

Charlotte Sutton – Exhibiting from July 1st – July 15th
Waterton Gallery – 56 Dawes Road, Fulham, SW67EJ
Charlotte is an artist from Somerset, UK, creating beautiful watercolour and oil paintings of animals and flora with photorealistic detail. Charlotte’s ability allows her to capture the unique personality of her subject and paint with an air of distinctive character.
Charlotte is a Fine Art graduate from Central Saint Martins and has had an interest in painting and creation from a young age. Upon graduating she spent time travelling and seeing the world where she refined her focus into realism within the past few years. This being said, she has poured many hours into learning and purifying her practice with a humble understanding that every day provides the ability to learn and expand.
Growing up on a farm, she was able to interact with animals and nature from a very young age. Having been engrossed with flowers and insects for as long as she can remember and seeing her artwork as a matured version of the fascination she had with nature as a child. Charlotte has a unique eye for beauty and detail and enjoys the meditative process of creating paintings that capture the intricacies in life we tend to overlook.
“My work involves time and patience and I take huge enjoyment in the full journey of the painting. I choose to make my frames, stretch and size my canvasses in order to fully
immerse myself in the procedure from start to finish. I hope that my work allows the viewer to pause for a moment and become absorbed in the stunning detail of the world we live in and to see the beauty and wonder that I feel on a daily basis” Charlotte Sutton

Elizabeth Duncan Meyer – June 14th-June 24th
Paintings Drawings and W/colours done during Lockdown 2020-22
I had already thought of doing an exhibition to raise funds for the marvellous small charity ´Aid to The Church in Need ´ well before the start of the Pandemic. We were having difficulty in finding a venue and as if by some miracle found Harry’s charming Gallery. I started some small paintings around the Nativity looking at Helen de Borgrave’s
book ‘A journey into Christian Art’ (who is also a supporter of ACN.)
I was influenced to paint these early medieval works by Giotto and Simone Martini from Gothic buildings as The Cefalu Cathédral and Monreale in Sicily. Later Adam and Eve by Masaccio. The Baptism of Jesus with John. The head of Christ is also inspired by Caravaggio one of my favourite artists. I was fortunate enough to meet Harry outside his Gallery. I asked him if he took on new artists (Normally this is now done online). He came to my house and discovered (as he sweetly put it) ´a treasure trove’ During this pandemic and period of solitary confinement I needed to express the deep need of spirituality in our lives, a purification if you like. I was surrounded by love as we as neighbours struggled to help one another through the dark days of November, December, and January.
I hope you will be moved by this work.(I have done it while thinking particularly of Syria, Iraq, Lebanon the huge number of refugees and homeless people.) The paintings also express the pain, sorrow and joy of our persecuted brothers and sisters in many far off lands.
Some of the oils and prints were completed in 2020-19, I think they fit well with the new
work.
Widely travelled, Elizabeth’s work is influenced by themes of international culture and by the varied and vivid
colours she encounters on location.
Her studio is in London, where she teaches. Having studied painting at Central School of Art in London from 1960 to 1963, Elizabeth moved to Paris in 1979 to learn print-making at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and at the Goetz and Hayter studios.
She then set up as a print-maker, exhibiting occasionally at the Salon d’Automne.In 1987 she returned to England where she exhibited regularly in one man or group shows in a number of top London galleries.
Although a colorist, with a natural tendency towards abstraction and simplification, Elizabeth’s work remains subtle and at a times mystical, interwoven with images reflecting aspects of her soul.
In 2007 Elizabeth completed a Diploma in Figurative Sculpture at the Heatherley School. Her sculpture and wood-carving complement the expressionism and abstraction of her painting.Currently Elizabeth is working at the Park Walk Sculpture Studio and is print-making at the London Print Studios.

Theodore Clarke

Please take a look at Theo’s Instagram to see his work and to get excited about attending his exciting exhibition. Please email info@watertongallery.co.uk or teodoroclarke@gmail.com
Taken between 2015 and 2020, these images form a collection of quiet moments amid the tempest the world has witnessed these past five years. These are times of personal and global confusion, of uncertainty, times of excitement, times of exploration, of distress and delight. On offer here are pauses between the tumult. In places near to and far from home,
Theodore Clarke has observed us, our artefacts and our monuments, silent witnesses to the speed of change. Here are his Mental Notes, hints at the toll we take upon the earth, and ourselves.
Theodore Clarke has observed us, our artefacts and our monuments, silent witnesses to the speed of change. Here are his Mental Notes, hints at the toll we take upon the earth, and ourselves.
The works Theodore Clarke presents to us here are graphic notations, quiet and seemingly mundane excerpts from the last few years. They remind one of deleted scenes from a film, for a time forgotten but here for this exhibition they have been remembered and are now revitalised.
Much can and does happen within a period of five years. For Theodore Clarke, this was a time of exploration, adventures and adversities. In this series of images, place and space profile experience. Not faces, nor uproar nor action. The images appear to determinedly occupy their own silence – both serene and haunting. The scarce few who inhabit one or two frames are disengaged from the viewer, suspended in a limbo amid the fallout of world events. With all of the fracas and hardship humanity has faced in this past half decade, these images remove us to a place of reflection, resembling what a child may see looking out of a window in a daydream.
In compiling these images for exhibition, Clarke says he held within his mind the common feeling of the ‘loneliness one can feel in a crowd’. These photographs encourage us to consider this state of being, in its vague yet all consuming power. Clarke senses that we live in a time where this peculiar solitude has been keenly enhanced. A time where many, wittingly or otherwise, detach themselves from the great happenings affecting all of us, feeling alienated in their own environment and the people with whom they share it. By various means of escapism people look to different places and different times. Times that happened long ago, times that never happened or never will happen, all taking place far away or in places that may not even exist. In Clarke’s images these never-lands are questioned, they stand out and are naked of the time from which the photographer’s eye has hewn them.
In each of these works, there are points of expanse and exactitude, of the contemporary and of the timeless. Wherever in the world we are taken in these pictures, we find ourselves located in displacement – barely here or there. Perhaps this is coming to be a lasting condition of ours. What these images deliver is a provocation towards being mindful of our environment and towards being present to experience it in all its tainted glory.
Private Views: 20th & 21st May, 17:00-22:00. RSVP: https://artsvp.co/a21c35 • Image previews available on request.

The power, grace and beauty of this most noble animal has captured the imagination of artists throughout recorded time. From the Greek marble relief sculpture of Alexander the Great (356-323BC) riding Bucephalus to the painting of Napoleon on Horseback (1801) by Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825) the animals striking beauty and spirit is here pictured in conjunction with war and great military leaders. Similarly Theodore Gericault (1791-1824) depicts a wild beauty in his study ‘Head of a White Horse’ c.1815.
There are of course endless examples of images of horses depicted by painters and sculptors throughout this vast period of art history. In art history terms the French school of sculptors ‘Les Animaliers’ brings us closer to the current practice of Julia Wager (b.1961). Antoine-Louis Barye (1796-1875) and Pierre Jules Mene (1810-1879) in particular. Here expressive elements like those found in the painting of Edwin Landseer (1802-1873) were of particular importance. Their sculpture was highly regarded within this nineteenth century animalier school.
Likewise, Julia Wager’s natural portrayals of horses maintain a basic realism with poetic composition. She is an established and acute observer of the animal, its anatomy, movement and spirit. Her love and understanding of the horse is personified in her sculpture. It is this, and her sympathy and tenderness towards the animal that has brought her name to the fore within contemporary animalier sculpture.
Julia Wager (nee Reeves)
Born in the New Forest England in 1961, Julia was encouraged from and an early age by her grandmother Cecily Reeves and her aunt Wendy Reeves both of whom are pictured, to partake in their equestrian interests. She began to ride aged five and is a competent horsewoman.
Educated at La Retraite Salisbury, she went on to study at Salisbury School of Art and Cheltenham School of Art, where she met Rungwe Kingdon and Claude Koenig of the internationally acclaimed Pangolin Editions Fine Art Foundry who cast all of her work in bronze. All bronzes carry the edition number and the Pangolin stamp of authenticity.

Annie-Rose Fiddian Green – exhibited Thursday 24th September – 1st October 2020
This solo exhibition at the Waterton Gallery includes large scale elemental drawings, layered Barack canvases and smaller works on paper that offer an energetic response to the living world. Annie-Rose engages with the human body with a strong focus on movement, breath and heat. Led by the dynamism of gestural mark making, her work emphasis motion and light; an intuitive journey that strikes to capture a sense of ‘aliveness’, be that from humans, trees, or abstract space. During lockdown Annie-Rose moved to north Norfolk where her attention turned to the ancient trees that hold the space there. Many of these works will be shown for the first time in London.
The artist has recently finished a 10m public mural for the the Hawks Nest venue, West London. Annie-Rose’s largest project this year was the role of main artist for CrossDay Production film. Made in Italy starring Liam Neeson. Recent exhibitions include solo show at the Hawks Nest, July 2020 and a group show with the young Artist Partnership, Hampshire 2019. The artist will also be featured in Goat Magazine’s upcoming Autumn edition.
