Life Lines

Life lines exhibition brings together Paul Zuckerman and Gilbert-Scott contemporaries Bel, Lou, Nick and Fee Sweeney. It is an intimate and personal response to the landscape, the history of our life here. The work makes tribute to friendship and family, paying respects to both the land and community. 

The show comprises of paintings and of installations - which connect directly to the union of family - and pots made from clay dug from the marsh, all the work is grounded in a sense of place and connectedness.

The curatorial process reflects the values of the boat house, the DIY aesthetics and the inventiveness we have employed to show our work - we hope - complements the creativity and ingenuity of the boat builders, Max and John.

Harry Cory-Wright - 600 Pieces of Landscape. Estuary

  • Burnham Overy Boathouse Ltd (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

May 25th to June 2nd 2024. 
Burnham Overy Boathouse
Burnham Overy Staithe 
Norfolk. 
PE31 8FF


This is an installation of 600 small individual 'units’ that are laid out randomly on three shelves in a studio 'shed' that is set inside the Quay Room of the Boathouse in Burnham Overy Staithe, Norfolk. 

Each unit is unique, of varying colour and tone, and represents some visual aspect of the estuary where I live. Some of the pieces are also photographs. The viewer is encouraged to explore what happens when you arrange these units together on one of several square boards I have provided on a workbench below the shelves; 2, perhaps 3 or more pieces at the same time.

For the last few years I have been covering four different practices of photography, painting, drawing and relief work and am now interested in how they work together.  I made a series called Vision of an Estuary (see on my website) where I pair and juxtapose 2 different types of work opposite each other on a page. The two individual pictures start a dialogue together… one informs the other. A wordless evocation of the experience of being in English Landscape. 

In this exhibition you are encouraged to play your own game as you look at  the relationships between different small manifestations of work and find ways that the arrangements you create explore your own personal experiences of being in landscape. 

Huge thanks to Crane Garden Buildings who are constructing the exhibition space... a building within a building. 

Other framed work will be on show at the exhibition.

I look forward to seeing you... and thank you

The stunning coastal landscape of Norfolk and its wildlife have always been central to my work and are the core of it. Long wavering skeins of pinkfeet geese etched against a winter sky, wigeon pitching into a flooding salt marsh or cattle far out on the grazing marsh all feature strongly in my work. Habitat is a key part of my depictions of these wetland landscapes. It is of vital importance to the abundant wildlife of our Norfolk marshlands and coast. I try to evoke awareness of what we have, are in danger of losing and, in some cases, are recreating in our fragile world. Although drawing and painting were always a constant in my life, I trained in agriculture and worked as a shepherd for many years. Long and happy hours spent tending my flock in the Breckland near our home and in North Norfolk gave me the opportunity to watch and learn at close hand the landscapes and wildlife I feel so strongly connected to. I am self taught and began my professional artistic career over 40 years ago following a happy and encouraging meeting with Sir Peter Scott. His great kindness and optimism gave me the confidence to follow this path and I will forever be indebted to him. My work has taken me to Northern Canada, Swedish Lapland, Kenya and, for the last 32 years, Iceland. My fascination with pinkfeet geese has made our annual trip to this extraordinary and austerely beautiful country a hugely important part of my life.

For years I’ve been observing the North Norfolk coast, bringing everything I know to create paintings to cherish and enjoy. It’s the place I spend a lot of my time walking with my sketchbook observing and drawing. It is a place where I feel a connection, a sense of presence. I then reflect on the studies once back at my studio surrounded by views of undulating countryside.

Painting to capture the beauty of Creation along the North Norfolk coast, with its creeks, skies and expansive beaches, has become, for me, an exciting spiritual journey on canvas. I find that painting in a semi-abstract style using mixed media and acrylics will enable my paintings to reveal a deeper mystery.

The horizon is my focal point and my sketchbooks give insight into how I work as an artist; rapidly drawing my feelings of a place through mark making is key to recalling all the energy I sense when sketching the fleeting and ethereal light. Often on these coastal walks, my passion for the work grows, not only in an emotional response but also a spiritual one, sensing the joy of my Creator.  Capturing the seasonal elements along the coast always delights me; the fiery hues of a blazing sunset, the misty sea frets together with the clarity of light on a bright breezy day. They all seem to come alive, conveying an intense visual experience which speaks to my heart expressing the colour and thanksgiving that I feel as an artist.

Paints, Pots and Fashion - Kate and Flic Lowe

A collaboration between the exciting Kate and Flic Lowe of their wonderful works of art.

FLIC LOWE

POTTER

Flic Lowe works in stoneware and porcelain, exploring the internal space and how it relates to the external shape. The Norfolk landscape, particularly the sea and marsh, are an inspiration for her work.

Flic first started potting at Sir John Cass Art College in Whitechapel in the late 1960s when she was studying law at King’s College London.

She was a lecturer in the early 1970s at what is now Anglia Ruskin University, where the internationally recognised potter Joanna Constantinidis (1927-2000) was head of ceramics. Flic was a student of Joanna’s for 10 years.

In the ’90s, after having three children and working as an employment advisor for the CAB, she decided to return to college and study for her City and Guilds Diploma in ceramics. In 2008 Flic moved to Norfolk, where in 2013 she began to return to potting.

I was brought up on the family farm in Norfolk with holidays always spent at Burnham Overy, walking the the dogs, sailing and fishing. With family living in Burnham Market and spread across Norfolk. I easily gravitate back from Rutland on a weekly basis.

 

I am a professional photographer shooting for commercial clients as well as being a commissioned landscape photographer. Over the last few years I have been taking images all along the North Norfolk coast from Snettisham right round to Pin Mill on the river Orwell in Suffolk. The amazing wildlife, mudflats and beaches are ever changing and provide excellent subjects for both landscape and wildlife photography. 

 

I am exhibiting at The Burnham Overy Boathouse Gallery on 26th August to 1st september and would be delighted to see anyone you wants to drop in.

As a family we have been sailing up here for decades.  My other abiding interest is drawing musicians performing, observing how they communicate with each other and their audience through the music.

The experience of drawing and painting in the Foyer of the Barbican in 1989 was a novelty for me at the time. Different string quartets one after the other played all the Haydn quartets.  By the end of that weekend I was hooked!

Since 2006 I have been Artist in Residence with Leamington Music.  I have a solo exhibition most years at their May Festival in the Royal Pump Rooms in Leamington Spa.

DR TONY HUGHES - Artist
Tony Hughes is a long established Harley Street doctor with wide interests. Artist, singer, performer, sometime poet he divides his time between and the Norflolk coast.

As a painter in oil he refers to the majority of the body of his work as “ abstracted landscapes” -implying taking aspects of a subject to emphasis it - being composition based on geometry and the celebration of colour.

He has exhibited (and performed) at the London Sketch Club and is a member of the Chelsea Arts Club. The Norfolk coast has been a passion and endless source of inspiration for the past 50 years.

Tony’s dynamic abstract body of work with it’s rich palette reflects the textures and hues that instantly evoke a connection to the surrounding nature in Norfolk. He has undertaken a number of private commissions and now is now introducing his work to a wider public.

The Riddle of Erskine Childers: a festive triple act.

To mark the centenary of the death of Erskine Childers, Richard Heffer, Jim Ring and Ash Faire-Ring tell the story of Childers' extraordinary life and greatest work, 'The Riddle of the Sands'.

Using readings from the novel, revelations about his life, and an appreciation of Childers as a sailor, the trio celebrate the achievement of the man described by Lord Longford as 'the last great Anglo-Irishman.'


Richard is well-known for his audio recordings of both 'The Riddle of the Sands' and its 1998 sequel, Jim is Childers' biographer, and in the autumn Ash set sail across the North Sea to follow in the wake of Childers in the German Frisian islands.

Tickets to this event are £8 including a glass of wine. (concessions for those under 25 and over 65)

Exhibition of new work by Decca Faire - Everyone welcome.

Decca or as her friends call her Jessie is a mixed media artist specialising in film, photography and spoken word. Her work embodies themes of solitude, endurance, feminism and the sense of other as she works using the figure in the landscape. She is a serious amphibious creature and the North Norfolk coastline is integral to her practice as an artist.

She graduated last year from The Glasgow School of Art where she studied Fine Art Photography and received a First Class degree. She is now based between London and Burnham Overy where she grew up.

She is about to walk the Chamonix to Zermatt Haute route as an endurance performance piece, this will make up a collection of images and film for her show next year in The Royal Scottish Academy.

Last year a group of around 20 local people sponsored a company called Royal Haskoning to do some analysis on tidal flooding in The Burnhams.

Given the serious tidal floods of 1953, 1978 and 2013, the sponsors wanted to see the likely consequences of future possibly more severe floods and also to understand the impact of defences such as Norton Bank and Overy Bank not just on land behind the banks but also on unprotected villages such as Burnham Overy Staithe and Burnham Deepdale. The report along with supporting graphics and animations is available to the public

Patrick's oil paintings are inspired by light and colour and reflect the ever changing mood of North Norfolk. Beach and yachting scenes painted with gusto together with an attention to detail that says this is a man who knows his subject.

Evocative of British impressionist painting, he is at his best in capturing figurative events and at the very least should be described as a powerful tonal painter. Other subjects include seascapes, coastal and beach landscapes, Broadland sailing scenes, dinghy sailing and studio interiors as well as local and International landscapes.

He is a National Prizewinner of the Laing Art competition, an author of three local books illustrated with his painting diary

Norfolk SuperHero

Norfolk SuperHero

What is the Norfolk Superhero?

The Norfolk Superhero is a quadrathlon event held annually in June when the tides are right, at Burnham Overy Staithe on the beautiful North Norfolk coast. 

​

Participants take part in teams of 2 over a course that includes a 1 mile swim, a 4 mile kayak through the creeks, a 45 mile circular cycle route and an 8 mile run across the beach finishing with the last mile over the marsh. Teams must stick together and help each other out although there is a good mix of competition on show as well.

 

One of the key trademarks of the Norfolk Superhero Challenge is the 'buddy system'. People take part in teams of 2, working together as a unit so they are able to monitor and help each other and share the success of completing the challenge with another person.

​

Named after the village’s Hero Pub, the event has, over the years, grown from a small band of friends to over 200 competitors, all of whom raise money to support a Norfolk based charity every year.”
