The Tate re-opened on 26th January with new
exhibitions of work from Rose Hilton, Hugh Stoneman, and Margo
Maeckelberghe
A Selected
Retrospective from Rose Hilton: THE BEAUTY OF ORDINARY THINGS
Painter Rose Hilton's (b.1931) first solo
display of work at Tate St Ives, this selected retrospective
affords an intimate and celebratory glimpse into her life amongst an
extraordinary community of friends,
artists and lovers. Over a career spanning almost six decades, Hilton
uses colour and light in a
visual balancing act where dissolving forms hover between abstraction
and figuration.
A Selected Retrospective' will be accompanied by an exciting selection
of early 20th-century and
Modern works chosen by the artist from the Tate Collection, featuring
artists who have inspired Hilton such as;
Henri Matisse, Pierre Bonnard, Henry Moore, Ivon Hitchens, Adrian
Stokes, Cecil Collins, Mary Potter,
Roger Hilton, Victor Pasmore, Ben and Winifred Nicholson and David
Bomberg.
Hugh Stoneman
(1947-2005): MASTER PRINTER
A master printer
established originally in London then Madron in Cornwall from 1995,
Hugh Stoneman (1947-2005) was renowned for his unique collaborations
with
national and international artists. Working in dialogue with artists, he
ensured that, through the
intrinsic artistic qualities of print media, their work found new
relationships between image and material.
Long term associates
included Terry Frost, Ian McKeever, Christopher Le Brun, Adam Lowe
and Arturo di Stefano, as well as projects with locally-based artists
such as Breon O'Casey and Michael Porter.
Print commissions for publishers Alan Cristea and Flowers Graphics led
to Lisa Milroy,
Richard Smith and Maurice Cockrill working in the studio. He also worked
in photogravure for photographers
like Eve Arnold and Linda McCartney. The exhibition will display
highlights from his four decades long career.
Margo Maeckelberghe: EXTENDED LANDSCAPE
A long-awaited solo show of the
Cornish-born painter, Margo Maeckelberghe (b1932)
completes the spring season at Tate St Ives this January. Renowned for
her expressive
coastal landscapes that explore the underlying structures of natural
form, this select exhibition
draws together three distinct periods of work, from a career which has
continued to evolve since the 1950s.
A proactive member of
the local artistic community, Maeckelberghe is a member of the
Newlyn Society of Artists, Chair of the Penwith Society and a Bard of
the Cornish Gorsedd.
Her work is in many private and public collections both in the UK and
abroad including
the British Council, Victoria and Albert Museum, Toronto University and
the Kunst Museum in Berlin
