Curious Space: Transitions in Landscape

Willesden Gallery, London

July 2024

The ArtLab23 Artist Collective invites audiences to explore human connections with the landscape through the emotional language of memory and imagination.

Humans have always had an emotional connection with the environment. From the time our ancestors first explored and made sense of the places around them, they have layered their experiences with their own fears, hopes and aspirations. And just like humans, the landscapes themselves are never static. From the immediate shifts in perception as a bright sunny day becomes cloudy to the erosion of mountains over millions of years, a landscape is in constant flux.

Curious Space: Transitions in Landscape takes a subjective look at places where different elements of the landscape collide; where colour, light and form shifts and what was one thing is now another. The works, ranging from semi-figurative to more abstract, show how each artist interprets the shifting landscape according to their personal relationship with it.

Painted Space: Remembering Gilbert’s Lake

White Cube Gallery, Harrow

September 2022

The exhibition is inspired by the local area of Grimsdyke Woods at Old Redding, Harrow Weald, home to the late 19th-century dramatist, librettist and poet W.S. Gilbert.

The work, comprising paintings and photographs, takes inspiration from the woodland, particularly the ornamental lake - Gilbert’s Lake - and from the writing of French philosopher Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962)

The exhibition has been curated with the space of the woodland in mind.

It was important to replicate that sense of space, the things we experience when walking through woodland, such as the impression of things overlapping or obscuring, a vista opening up or random points of interest high up and low down on the ground.’ (Arlene Sharp, 2022)

Arlene’s work is inspired by the natural world, by landscape and organic form. She is completing the final stage of her Painting degree with the Open College of the Arts. She was recently nominated for the Freelands Foundation Painting Prize 2022, and her work has featured in several college shows and publications.


“Wild About Nature” Open Afternoon, Old Redding, Harrow Weald

October, 2022

Following the ‘Painted Space’ exhibition, I was delighted to be invited to display my canvases as an Art Trail at an event organised by the Harrow Nature Conservation Forum.

The canvases were situated along the path which runs around Gilbert’s lake, hung in the trees and spaces that had inspired them.
