Trevor Burgess Artist Talk

I would like to warmly invite you to a talk I am giving at my exhibition Back Stories at the Anna Lovely Gallery on Saturday from 2pm. 

For this exhibition, celebrating my 60th birthday, I have selected paintings from my archive going back to pictures I painted when I was at school. Almost all of these paintings have not seen the light of day for 15 or 20 years. Each painting has a story to tell about the stages on my journey, during the period before I came and settled in London. In the talk I will be telling some of these stories and also showing items from my archive and some paintings that didn’t make it into the exhibition. .

I have been collaborating with the writer Ambreen Hameed with whom I have been sharing my Back Stories. Ambreen has now made a recording of her reflections on some of the paintings in the exhibition, which you can listen to here: “People coming out of the paint”

If you are able to come, it will be lovely to see you at the Anna Lovely Gallery on Saturday.

Anna Lovely Gallery has invited Trevor Burgess to hold a solo exhibition to mark his 60th birthday. “Back Stories” takes a reflective look back at his journey as an artist.

Trevor Burgess has a long association with the Anna Lovely Gallery and was one of the artists in the very first show when the gallery opened in 2014. He is known for his paintings of everyday urban life and markets around the world, usually using his own snapshot photographs as a source material.

New works by Matthew Bateson

Thursday 27 October to Sunday 13 November

Private View Saturday 29 October 2022 3 – 5pm
Exhibition Thursdays to Saturdays 12 – 6pm & Sundays 12 – 5pm

Matthew Bateson experiences something of a haunting during the process of painting. He starts the works in a very open, abstract and exploratory way – just pushing the paint around with his brush on the canvas, allowing forms to evolve and interact and letting different colours resonate and bleed into one another. There is no pre-planning or guiding under-drawing to map his terrain.

At some point, the abstract painterly process begins to take its own pictorial rhythms and specific qualities of light, atmosphere and emotional tone begin to pervade the spaces. With each work, accidental marks and a strata of residual pigment establish a ground. Spectral contours of a particular landscape or figurative form emerge almost alchemically from within the materiality of the paint.
