- A Long Overdue Visit to The Little Theatre
A few weeks ago, we headed over to Torquay’s gorgeous Little Theatre for a night of board treading and thespianism. It was the final evening of their production of Anthony Shafer’s Sleuth, directed by Anna Reynolds who I first met at Torquay Boys’ Grammar School where she produced their musicals for many years. Shamefully, the last time I’d been to see a show at the Little Theatre must have been when I was around 10, for a production of Wind in the Willows that I remember being captivated by, so when I bumped into Anna on a dog walk and she told me about her show it seemed like a great reason for a long overdue visit. Sleuth for many may bring to mind the hit 1972 film adaptation starring Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier, or, if your less fortunate, may recall the less critically acclaimed 2007 film adaptation, also starring Michael Caine this time alongside Jude Law. However, it was first and foremost a Tony Award winning play, a dark comedy in which thriller writer Andrew Wyke seeks to exact his revenge over the young Milo Tindle, his wife’s new lover, through a meandering series of games which he devises as he might stratagems for one of his crime novels. The culmination, is a humiliated Tindle, having feared for his life at the hands of Wyke, taking his own revenge in a complex chess-like arrangement of counter and parry that perhaps, briefly, leads the pair to a begrudging acknowledgement of the others ability. Built upon twists and turns which are acknowledged as only having a place in fiction, the plays plot is ultimately contrived; for Milo to be fooled by them he must be taken for an idiot, or at least be highly gullible, but to devise his own game the opposite must be true, and likewise the same can be said of Andrew. It is Wyke’s character though that perhaps offers the solution to both these contradictions. His authority as a novelist grants him the capability to convince even a discerning mind of the reality of his fiction, and with Milo predisposed to dismiss Andrew’s literary style as beneath him, believing it to be a product of upper-class parlour games that bares no resemblance to “real life”, he becomes susceptible to the trickery. This is particularly plausible given he is exposed to these circumstances on Andrew’s home turf, the surreal and disorienting setting of his palatial estate, an apparent museum of the artefacts of his theatrical and literary career. On the other side of the coin, Wyke, in a best-case scenario is eccentric, in a worst-case scenario is perhaps insane. Either way, he has clearly begun to blur the lines between reality and the fiction of his novels, and his penchant for these games ironically makes him the perfect target for them; he wants to be deceived and outsmarted, to have a worthy competitor. With the complexity of this relationship, a production of Sleuth will undoubtedly be broken if these two personas are not delivered with extreme dexterity; it is on their shoulders that the tension is built and maintained; they must unravel the twists not too fast nor too slowly; these drivers must take the turns not so recklessly that they lose control, nor too cautiously that they lose momentum as they exit the bend. This was certainly achieved by the duo of Jonathan Manley and Richard Gent who barely missed a beat throughout the whole performance. The necessary dramatic irony was maintained throughout and revelations were granted to the audience at the requisite moments to ensure that suspense and uncertainty were balanced with a marginally superior cognizance over the plays unfortunate dupes, an equilibrium which could have all too easily been unsettled by a fumbled line or misplaced plot device. The feat is even more impressive when you consider there are no supporting roles and with the addition of a number of slapstick elements, which were delivered with accomplishment, a not inconsiderable degree of stamina is undoubtedly required. The backdrop to all of this, was a highly professional set and technical display, both of which The Little Theatre are renowned for. The complexities demanded were by no means limited either; Wyke’s mechanical dummy, exploding crockery, but most importantly a convincing space which delivered the depth to portray a faux murder mystery, all of which were delivered. Most importantly, The Little Theatre remains an incredible and unique performance space and one we should count ourselves lucky to have in Torbay. It’s impressively sustained membership and sublime atmosphere make this the perfect destination for an evening of theatre, and I’ll certainly be making the effort to attend more regularly in future. #TheLittleTheatre #2018 #March #Sleuth #AnnaReynolds #Theatre #Play #MurderMystery #Torquay #Torbay
- Tattoo: British Tattoo Art Revealed
Last night I went along to the postponed Preview of the Tattoo Exhibition at Torre Abbey which opened on 3rd March and will run until 3rd June. I would like to say that I have always been ambivalent to the concept of tattooing but in truth, I have just never got it. I can appreciate it as an art form and maybe a small and discreet image, in a usually hidden place would be as far as I might ever go but to cover large expanses on one’s body permanently has never had any appeal. Tihoti Faara Barff (Tahitian Tattoo artists featured in the exhibition) ‘It is not about fashion. Fashion changes. A tattoo is on your skin for life. You must be proud of it for life.’ So why, you are probably wondering, did I go along. Ostensibly, I went to view simply the art, with the images that I had seen in print of the ‘100 Hands’ exhibit curated by Alice Snape, firmly in mind, but an hour and a half or so later, I came away with so much more and perceptions changed. That’s not to say that I will be rushing out to my nearest tattoo artist for some large statement tattoo, but it is surely testament to a truly great exhibition that you leave it feeling informed, engaged and permanently affected by it. The Exhibition runs throughout the house, with mock up tattoo parlours, video, and an historical exploration of this truly unique art form, showcasing the rich maritime heritage of tattoos but also showing how people from all areas of society have always been tattooed, even royalty. On the night we also had live tattooing with the chance to win a tattoo, I wasn’t quite ready to throw my name into the hat for that one but there were plenty of people there who were! One aspect of the exhibition that particularly resonated and significantly changed my perception was the ‘Torbay Tattoo Tales’, a collection of photographs of tattoos with the stories behind them, from the simple ‘missed heartbeat’ representing a near death, images that challenge inner demons or significant illnesses, to those that celebrate life and pay homage to lost loved ones. #torbaytattootales https://www.instagram.com/torbaytattootales/ I missed the opening speech from guest curator Dr Matt Lodder (lecturer in Contemporary Art History and Director of American Studies at the University of Essex) who says, ‘Tattooing is a magical, romantic, exciting and often misunderstood art-form’. With one in three young adults now having a tattoo, wider acceptance and understanding of this art form may not be so many years away. Tattoo: British Tattoo Art Revealed is curated by the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, an independent Museum based in Falmouth and the exhibition at Torre Abbey is the first stop on its nationwide tour. ‘My inspiration for this piece is the nature in my home islands of Tahiti.’ #TorreAbbey #TattooExhibition #2018 #March #Exhibition #Torbay
- Cornwall to New York City: One giant leap for me kind
When I moved to the city that never sleeps, unless it snows, I knew it was for the right reasons. I was in love, and still am, with a man who had enticed me over with his siren ways. What I did not know at the time was that it would also start a new sub chapter in my book of life called “Photography”. I started to think the way of the pixel when I just started to mess about on my IPhone and the end results were rather good. Looking back, the first statement I made as a photographer was a picture of a brick wall when I was 6 years old. I knew it was different and I knew that I liked it, but I never thought it would lead to people buying my work. I am now in 15 countries and have just had my first solo exhibition in Torquay at Artizan Gallery. I had to leave the country to have an exhibition, that’s how performance arty I am. Some people have very strong feelings about using the iPhone as a camera. In some instances I agree; wedding photographers should never turn up to a job and use an iPhone. But if you are an art photographer, it does not matter. I class myself as a communicator; I am aware how that makes me sound but it is the best description. It covers performance, writing, photography, painting and performance art (www.iamcerealkiller.com). People that know, and own, my work understand that generally I do something to the picture so that it is changed from everyday life. The New York skyline has been of great inspiration to me; the iconic statement that it makes is what draws many tourists to the city. Now, my strongest outlet is photography and I am returning to college soon to take my training further. I have work coming up as a set designer for a play and this excites me as it is a different use of my photographic skills. I am also working on my next exhibition “Not looking at You” that is exploring personal security in the street and the use of Apple products. Moving to New York from Cornwall was a giant leap, but it was good for me. It has let me grow in many aspects of my life and the people I have met here have been inspirational to me. #MarkWallis #Travel #International #Photography #Cornwall #America #Poetry

- Art is Important
Thoughts from our recent intern Xhen who joined us from Germany at the end of last year via TTPL. She offers her perspective on how art is viewed and participated in by young people today. Do you know what art means? Well, let me copy and paste the definition from Oxford Dictionary in here: “The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their own beauty or emotional power.” So, in fact we are all artistic in a way, but not everyone has the courage to show the world its hidden talents. I was always fascinated by art, although my fascination was in the history and its development. I was asking myself often why, so many people are not interested in art especially the younger generation. Do they feel out of place in a way when they enter a gallery, because they do not know anything about the artist or even don’t have any clue about the works? Art is like any other subject you can learn about. You just need to find the time to read all the wonderful books about art, artists or simply go to a gallery and admire some pieces. When you feel to create something just do it and even it is not perfect do not be disappointed. Art takes time, you can develop your own style and notice what you like and what you do not, never thinking that your work is ridiculous or everybody could do your work. If that were so your artwork would have been produced a long time ago. So be patient and do not expect to be wonderful at the beginning; babies aren’t able to walk like models when they learn to walk for the first time. Surrounded by creative, open-minded and heart-warming people, I began to understand at an early age, that what makes you happy relates to your own creativity. Do you remember the film “Dead Poets Society”, when John Keating said to his students: “Medicine, law, business, engineering: these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love…these are what we stay alive for.” I think with this saying he was recognizing something most people sadly forget nowadays. In my article I will introduce you to two talented people, who I am lucky enough to know in person, they are my friends. We went to school together in Germany. Introducing Dana Koehler One of these young artists is Dana Koehler (19 years, Hamburg). Amongst friends she is known for her skills using her pencil, focused on fine details. But there are some works painted with acrylics as well as watercolours. She started to draw very young but began at the age of 13 to go into details. For her, art/drawing is her balance to reality, within the colours and shades she found a place to be. The first piece of hers is called “The Great Champion” and is based on the film “Dreamer”. She was inspired by the saying: “You are a great champion. When you ran, the ground shook, the sky opened, and mere mortals parted. Parted the way to victory, where you'll meet me in the winner's circle, where I'll put a blanket of flowers on your back.” She loves horses and wanted to capture this moment in a picture, working with watercolours and black inks she created the piece. The second piece is called “Ladybug”, which is drawn with pencils. Her inspiration was found by the original picture, hung in the family that she babysat for. This picture is linked with the children and their happiness; therefore, it has a personal connection to Dana. Introducing Lilli Lassen Lilli Lassen (18 years, Hamburg), another artist, told me once: “So, if you ask me when I started to do arts, I can only tell you it has always been there, and it will always be there.” All of her life she has been surrounded by art, since her mother is a freelance artist, painter and author. She grew up in an artistic family, her brother is into music and her father was the lead in a pop band back in the nineties, where he met Lilli’s mother. Lilli found her passion in writing, but also does some paintings and drawings. She mostly uses pencils, enjoying keeping everything as simple as possible without any equipment. Her pieces are simple pencil drawing and she draws whatever comes to mind. This piece depicts a girl. Something streaming out of her eyes and mouth, which representing the emotions she feels and the words she speaks. From her head emerges something which may be a flower, a symbol of the beauty she springs from, or in the other hand it could be flames as she seems to burn down trying to tell someone something. She tries to tell of something beautiful but is not understood, so there is beauty and pain combined in this picture. The second pencil drawing piece shows different perspectives and it seems like each person is losing pieces of themselves. They would merge with each other, like one does in a crowd of people, but every face looks different and unique, showing the beauty in the individual. Art for them is personal, they create something to express their own feelings. Their goal is not based on impressing someone, but simply being away for some minutes form reality. Compared to Dana, Lilli just uses her intuition, whenever she feels to create something she does. Her inspiration is found in every art which has the power to make people feel something. With a certain picture in her mind, followed as a template, Dana starts her work. She uses a template, so she can focus on the details and show them in her work. Dana finds her inspiration in her enthusiasm for certain things, her drawings/paintings based on things she is passionate about. Dana does not have a certain person, who inspired her. Her creativity flows while watching films, especially animated ones. An inspiring person for Lilli is her mother, because she has always done what she loves no matter what people say or think about it. Also, books are a source of inspiration. Lilli loves to discover pencil drawings as well as reading anonymous poems, while listening to music. Because of her huge captivation with colours, Dana is open-minded when it comes to the question of which art form she would create, she simply replies with the fact, that she just loves colours and their different shades within, and it is this she aims to reflect in her pieces. Two different personalities and to different ways to create something, so what we have learnt through these people is that art is individual and does not have any rules, so get out of your chair and find your personal connection to art! If you want to find more about each one of them, visit their Instagram pages. On Dana’s page, you will find more works of hers.

- You don’t like my painting
I have never before joined an art group or society, other than art school, and I’ve never won anything for my art, except grade 1 O Level in 1973. In 2014 I decided I would acknowledge WH Auden’s command that you owe it to us to get on with what you are good at, and restart my creativity, exhibit more, write more poetry, follow the themes prevalent in my life and join with anyone on the same path. A small ambition that has brought some lovely people into my life and a remarkable degree of support and affection. To top this I have gained some awards and commendations. This February I received the Best in Show at the Spanish Barn Art Fair in Torquay. I received my trophy in due course. Your win is controversial I was told, bring it on I said. I can defend my art quite happily, I was given the platform to do this and enjoyed the opportunity. My winning painting was ‘marmite’ and so it should be. If it helps raise the bar alongside Torbay sea, land and garden scape I’m glad. I believe art should challenge, make us see the world through a different lens. Art is a language and we are all capable of embracing and learning each other’s language while still knowing what we like. Every piece of art we create is a self portrait. If you’re balancing on the edge of turning your inner thoughts into a unique voice, don’t hold back. Sometimes you may feel the need to explain but never complain about the reception you receive. I chose to be judged which is ultimately based on someone else’s taste. It just happened to be the same as mine this time. #BeckyNuttall #2018 #SpanishBarn #TorreAbbey
- The Case of the Mysterious Photograph...
Here at Artizan it's fair to say we've had a number of unusual encounters over the years. We're happy to say that our little gallery welcomes people from all walks of life, and as far as we're concerned, if you're a little bit quirky, you'll probably fit right in! But today, a new mystery presented itself in what we're calling, "The Case of the Mysterious Photograph." We'd been in the gallery for a few hours having had a couple of early meetings when something caught my eye. Can you see it? How about now? We certainly couldn't remember having a sign up there, and on closer inspection it looked like it might be a clip frame. Time for some investigating! Out into the rain and sure enough, a clip frame it was, tucked above our door - no easy feat, it's quite high up! Luckily, I've got the reach for it so down comes our mysterious gift which turns out to be a little photo. In its simple clip frame sits a small seascape, edited with a yellow/blue colour filter, looking down from the rocks to the open water. But where did it come from? There's no signature, no note, we even checked inside the clip frame for clues but no, nothing there either. A mystery photo from a mystery photographer. Who could it be? Maybe we'll have a look at our CCTV, but perhaps, that might spoil the fun. For now, we know just what to do... #2018 #March #Mystery #Photography
- Visiting Artists - my father Prometheus and why I use his art in my work
In my adolescence, I visited the artist, my father, in his London flat. There was a room designated for the studio; I could not smell turps or white spirit; I could not see a Francis Bacon tsunami licking the prosaic off the floorboards, spitting it into the tide of detritus lapping the skirting. Here the artist no longer speaks of childish things to a child artist. He is now, I realise, the professional lexicographer; verbal expression is the test and the tease. Doorways were a feature of this space. Caught in a corridor, I stood before the one for the studio and glanced at another; the guest room. Who are the guests of the artist when he is away from home; living in this flat away from the anchor and the source, as he called my mother. He had a pretty turn of phrase. Away from the summer lawns, replacing them with something, someone, people that held him hostage for weeks; anchored and weighed, adrift from the banal and paternal. I am today’s visitor and we do not speak of childish things. He has become a resident writer in another orbit and I have become his caller; although welcome, the space shifts and shapes around the presence of more preferred visitors; patrons, lodgers and paying guests; the bill payer, the emissary, the trigger, the executor; I only brought a doorway back to neglected summer lawns. It is fourteen years since he died in Exeter and I surveyed the wreckage of the artist’s life in residency. The spread of coats and jackets. Unwashed clothes upon the bed, the floor ripe with neglect; the kitchen, in the freezer ready made meals, frozen, suspended between hunger and memory. Free gifts from magazines, brought to the house only to show someone lives at this address. The remains of Chinese takeaway, human contact crossed with silver, loneliness. The wreckage of paper, a lifetime of lists, the lifetime since last I left, of jottings, poignant, stupid, clever, plots, settings, character, point of view; none of them mine, very few his. I came to clear a way back, through the rational searching in lists and plot, only to find, disappointingly, a message that artists who were men offered to women back then; I am the artist, not you; I am the writer you are not. The misogynist artist’s love token, a padlock of words ruling the lock. In the guest room a bed was made; I had arrived without luggage, I would not stay. I found his art school folder, remembered some promises he made when I was young and when he made me laugh. I scan, cut and glue our lives together, each of us guests in each other’s work; I weigh and anchor him back to me and women’s art #ArtistStories #BeckyNuttall #2018
- It's in the South-West: Exhibition!
It’s in Torquay, to be more precise, at the Artizan Gallery, to be most precise! And I am in it, and the Private View is tonight! February seems to become my exhibition-month, as I was in the last exhibition last year February. That was with “Traditions” in the Art Pavillion, now it’s “The Art of You”. “The Art of You” is about our art-process as artists, it’s an explorative and a personal show. So I love that, as I always combine the inside and the outside– and not surprisingly, for me it’s a psychogeographic art process. It is psychogeographic exactly because it allows me to do what I instinctively have done: combine inner and outer worlds. This inner/outer combination, the inner: personal/psychic, and the outer: place/space/geography/public/political. It’s an approach, too, where things are spaces, with angles, perspectives, forms, shapes, with lines, circles, edges, and bridges over boundaries, hinterland and unconscious. This interplay can be sheer beauty, but it can also be tense, highlighting injustice for example. So it’s here where the stories are that I want to show, write, tell. Story spaces These story-spaces range from the magical to the political, so there’s a desire, or even a need, for an identification and recognition of these stories and engagement with them. You can read or see this in my contributions to this exhibition. I look forward to the other artists’ contributions to the show, there’ll be an interesting dialogue in our work I can imagine. It’s all very exciting as we all don’t know who the other artists are, so we’ll all be in for a thrilling surprise! So let’s go and see! Private View is tonight –which would have been my grandmother’s 108th birthday. I’ll miss the pv but will go there later, and to the sea! The show is on until the 2nd March. The Gallery is at nr 7, Lucius Street, right in the middle between Torre and Torquay train stations – i.e. between hill and harbour! Opening times are 12 – 6, Monday to Saturday. Enjoy the space, the show, the place, the private view – or any other viewing afterwards! To view the original article visit here. #TheArtofYou #UrsulaTroche #Exhibition #Review #ArtistPreview
- Zoe Burkett Talk, The Newlyn School of Artists
This week I managed to get along to Torquay Museum for a talk given by Zoe Burkett of Penlee House Gallery and Museum on the Newlyn School of Artists. Part of a series of public lectures across a broad range of topics and a snip at just £5 to attend, these talks are a true gem in Torbay’s Cultural calendar. Having travelled to Penzance many times I have to confess that I was unaware of the Penlee Gallery and Museum and my knowledge on the Newlyn School of Artists was also fairly scant. Following Zoe’s talk I would have loved to hop on a train to complete the journey that she had started with her insightful, from the heart talk. Now located at Penlee House, the museum was first located in the Dome at Market House in Penzance in 1839 and then moved to the newly built St John’s Hall in 1867. At that time, it was first a foremost a natural history museum, established by the Penzance Natural History and Antiquarian Society. The society organised lectures and an annual excursion which continued into the 20th Century until 1961 when the society ceased to exist. Penlee House was originally built in 1865 as the home of the wealthy Branwell family and remained in the family until it was sold along with the estate to Penzance Borough Council in 1946. The council initially purchased Penlee Park as a memorial to the dead of World War II, with Penlee House being formally opened as the Penzance District Museum in 1949. In 1974 the ownership of the museum and park passed to Penwith District Council, and since 1985 Penzance Town Council has owned and operated the site. The collections housed within the museum were originally taken from the Penzance Natural History and Antiquarian Society collection but during the 1990s Penzance Town Council conducted a major refurbishment of the building providing up to date facilities for housing its important and historic art collection which includes the most significant collection of the Newlyn School of Artists work to be held in the UK. Having given us some background to the gallery and its origins Zoe then went on to tell us that all the Newlyn Artists were not born there but had come to live and work among the people. Newlyn had several things guaranteed to attract artists: fantastic light, cheap living, and the availability of inexpensive models but they were also drawn to painting in what was a new way at that time, capturing ordinary people going about their everyday lives, very different to what was being painted elsewhere. The artists were fascinated by the fishermen's working life at sea and the everyday life in the harbour and nearby villages. Some paintings showed the hazards and tragedy of the community's life, such as women anxiously looking out to sea as the boats go out, or a young woman crying on hearing news of a disaster All also chose to paint ‘en plein air’ not just for sketching but for an entire piece, even when painting on very large pieces and many adopted the square brush technique and use of a muted colour palette which distinguishes these paintings so well when viewed. Walter Langley is generally recognised as the pioneer of the Newlyn School of Artists and Stanhope Forbes as the father of it. The later Forbes School of Painting, founded by Stanhope Forbes and wife Elizabeth in 1899, promoted the study of figure painting. Interestingly Elizabeth was vastly outnumbered by her male counterparts but was by far the most successful and all regularly took part in exhibitions and sold work in London with GWR at that time providing a dedicated van for transporting the art. Although the Newlyn School as a group ceased to exist around 1940, the area still attracts artists with many of the studios built in the gardens of the houses still being used by artists today. Details of the next museum lecture, Scotching the Stereotypes, Rebecca Tope, can be found here. #2018 #Talks #TorquayMuseum #Torquay #ZoeBurkett #TheNewlynSchoolofArtists
- Peter Harrigan, Talk 'Uncrowned Queens of the Desert'
Those of you who have been enjoying the series of talks being given in conjunction with Torquay Museums, Explorers Season, will certainly not want to miss this final one on Saturday 24th February at 11am. Peter Harrigan is director of Medina Publishing and Arabian Publishing as well as being a contributing editor for Aramaco Magazine and an authority on Gertrude Bell. Peter will talk about Gertrude Bell (1868-1926): explorer, alpinist, writer, photographer, founder of Iraq's National Museum, British Political Officer, Arabist and confident of a Hashemite King. He will examine Bell's remarkably faceted legacy in a turbulent region as the modern Middle East emerged and will consider other lesser known but equally extraordinary western women who left their own enduring marks in Arabia. #Talks #TorquayMuseum #Torquay #TheLostCityofZ #2018
- English Riviera Art Fair, Last Few Days
At lunchtime I managed to grab 30 minutes or so to go along to the English Riviera Art Fair being held at the Spanish Barn, Torre Abbey. Three local arts societies are sharing the space here and it was great to see so many of our previously exhibiting artists and forthcoming exhibitors' works on display, with several of them having picked up some awards and achieving sales: Becky Nuttall, who will be exhibiting with us later this year in a group show, was awarded Highly Commended and Winner in the 'Best Alternative Mixed Media' category, for 'Bedroom Shrine to the Virgin of the Rocks' and 'St Peter Chavel of the Staffroom' which had also picked up the Hall Trophy, Best in Show. Susan Cavaliere, who had a solo show with us last year, took the Highly Commended for Best Oil or Acrylic for her piece, 'Conspiracy' and, Chris Pitman, another previous exhibitor at the gallery, was the Winner also in the category for Best Oil or Acrylic Painting for his piece 'The Incredible Hulk' which had just sold along with another of his works as I arrived. Prints are still available though and you will be able to view more detailed images of these on our site. Local artists Sally Tibbets and Maxime Adams were stewarding today and I managed to get a quick picture of Sally alongside two of her pieces. Other work that caught my eye were pieces by regular exhibitors here at Artizan, Lee Pover, Rhian Wyn Harrison and Ray Vyse as well as work by Chantal Ashwell and Roger Lissenden who will be participating in a small group show with Sandra Lissenden here in September, and finally some interesting abstracts by Alan Price-Roberts who has a show with us in July. There is a great selection of work here across all mediums and I only wish I had had time to take some more pictures to share with you. The exhibition is definitely worth a look but hurry as it closes on Sunday. #2018 #ArtsampCulture #Exhibitions #TorreAbbey #RivieraArtFair
