SUMMARY:Stephen Bushnell - The Alphabet Collections at Oxmarket Contemporary
DESCRIPTION:Oxmarket are delighted to welcome Stephen Bushnell to Oxmarket for a 2 week exhibition.  Stephen was born & grew up in London and worked for Local Government until moving to West Sussex in 1997. \nStephen has always owned a camera and was excited to make the move from 35mm film to his first digital camera in 2004. \nHaving completed my photography course in 2016 Stephen decided to work towards making photography a key part of his life. In 2019 he started work on his first major photography project\, which as a priority in his life\, shaped what has now become his Alphabet Collections. \nThe work he has produced on this\, his inaugural project\, was intended to explore as many different ideas and genre as possible and by using the alphabet\, he has been able to focus on 26 different themes. \nThe main focus of his work is around trying to be creative in what he sees and captures with his camera\, although that is only part of the process. Having a creative idea upfront will sometimes drive the places and subjects that he chooses to go to and photograph but there are also times when the creative idea comes after a photo shoot\, when Stephen is looking at the images he has captured. \nA key driver for Stephen has been to try and produce a collection of works that offers something a little bit different. \nThe majority of his work is printed using a range of different types of Giclee archival grade\, acid free paper at 230gsm or 320gsm. A small number of Gloss prints are offered printed on Fuji Crystal Archive paper and all prints measure 15 X 10 inches with a surrounding white mount. In some cases canvas prints are available printed on a premium quality 420g polycotton canvas\, coated with a UV protection varnish. \nAt the very least\, Stephen hopes visitors to his exhibition will leave knowing that they have seen something a bit different\, not just a collection of printed photographs but also a number of creative ideas or a group of photographs that seen together\, tell a story.   He hopes it might influence some visitors to pause and think more about pictures they may take in the future or perhaps research some of the subject areas\, places or charities that he has presented to them through his work. \nFinally\, Stephen would encourage visitors to look for pictures (single or collectively) that might provoke memories or their imagination\, to perhaps think beyond the image they see.  He has taken many photographs as part of this project without fully understanding the true history or background behind them\, only to be uplifted when through research\, he has fully appreciated the true meaning of a place\, subject or sculpture afterwards.

SUMMARY:Haroun Hayward: Path through Trees at Pallant House Gallery
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is Haroun Hayward’s first solo institutional show and showcases a new body of work. \n\n\nRooted in his experience studying the Sussex landscape\, Hayward combines ideas from abstract expressionism\, 90s dance music\, rave culture\, graffiti\, and his mother’s South Asian and West African textiles. His vibrant\, hybrid approach blends rhythm and texture\, using oil stick techniques that echo embroidery. \nThis series of new works was inspired by postwar British art by artists such as Wilhelmina Barns-Graham\, Edward Burra\, Ceri Richards\, Paul Nash and Graham Sutherland in the Gallery’s collection\, and which can be seen in the major exhibition British Landscapes: A Sense of Place\, running concurrently with Path Through Trees. \nDeveloped following a joint residency with Pallant House Gallery and West Dean College\, this show offers a bold\, contemporary response to British landscape painting. \nAlongside the exhibition\, Hayward has worked with the Gallery’s Community Programme to create Gathered in the Landscape\, a large-scale collaborative artwork exploring landscape as a shared experience\, which can be seen in Room 17.

SUMMARY:British Landscapes: A Sense of Place at Pallant House Gallery
DESCRIPTION:This landmark exhibition explores how artists from the 18th to the 20th century have responded to the landscapes of the British Isles. Bringing together works by more than 60 artists\, the exhibition reveals landscape not simply as scenery\, but as a powerful expression of memory\, identity and emotion.  \n\n\nSpanning Romanticism\, Modernism and postwar abstraction\, the exhibition traces a rich lineage from Thomas Gainsborough and the golden age of British watercolour to the postwar works of Wilhelmina Barns-Graham\, Barbara Hepworth\, Paul Nash\, and Eric Ravilious. \nFrom quiet lanes and chalk hills to industrial sites and abstract coastlines\, painters\, printmakers and sculptors have depicted places shaped by labour\, conflict and imagination. British Landscapes: A Sense of Place invites visitors to reflect on how Britain’s landscapes have been lived in\, remembered and reimagined – and how they continue to shape our collective sense of belonging and resilience. \nThis exhibition is accompanied by a new illustrated catalogue written by Director Simon Martin\, with contributions from contemporary artist\, Haroun Hayward\, whose exhibition Haroun Hayward: Path through Trees runs alongside British Landscapes: A Sense of Place.
