Jamaican Engineering

by Newton Matticks
1 to 31 October 2008

After working for many years in the engineering industry, Jamaican-born Newton Matticks has turned his skills to documenting the everyday life of the ordinary person in Britain: work, current affairs, objects, etc. in the form of artwork.

And the colours and vitality of the Caribbean just seep through - delicious in a way.

There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly

by Philip Diggle

The second exhibition in as many years for Haringey by the energetic artist Philip Diggle, with the opportunity on this occasion to exhibit a number of Diggle's larger canvases in the recently refurbished Original Gallery and Promenade Gallery

The artist began his career heavily influenced by the declining industrial environment of his home town in the North-west of England, which was expressed in the anger and discontent of the Punk movement of the 1970s. Diggle has chosen to make Haringey his home for the past 25 years.

The Heart Like a Feather

by Homar

17 June - 5 July 2008

Homar’s paintings are an intuitive construction of geometric shapes and interlocking planes, intimately inspired by a desire for simplification.

The work is reminiscent of Mondrian, who sought to expose the basic principles that underlie all appearances.

This approach is considered to have its intellectual roots in Abstractionism, Russian Constructivism and Modernism; although for Homar it is instinctive rather than studied.
