Thumbnail Member Spotlight

Frida Kahlo Wallhanging JANE HYDER

Jane Hyder produces paintings, prints and cards from her studios in Karori and Toi Poneke Art Centre, Wellington, New Zealand. She has a graduate Diploma in Fine Art from Massey University and has been an exhibiting artist since 1978 both in New Zealand and the United Kingdom. For Jane Hyder ‘art and faith come from the same place’. Working in a fauve-expressionist style, her paintings draw on highly poetic, richly illustrative imagery. Narratives expressed through symbolist gestures, the paintings’ surfaces are expressions of a joie de vivre that seek and deserve comparison with Chagall, for, like Chagall, Jane’s paintings point to an underlying belief that art is a state of soul. Incorporated into this belief is the proximity of the spiritual to the material; her recent works are not merely paintings but art objects whose surfaces cherish both the decoration upon them and their physicality.

December Sea at Quinta do Lago ROBIN SOUTER

Being hugely fortunate to rent an art studio in the oldest part of a 17^th century manor farm house is a huge privilege. Conscious of the history and aware of the atmosphere constantly stimulates imagination and creativity.

It may well surprise you to learn that this oasis is within the boundaries of the new town Milton Keynes.

I moved here from Oxford in 1983 to take up my post as consultant general surgeon in the hospital six months before it opened to patients. Around 15 years ago and heading towards retirement I progressively returned to art.

I paint in oils and most of my works are based on nature, sea, land, mountains, skies and pretty much anything that captures my imagination. My work is unashamedly representational and if I come close to capturing the feel of the subject then I am content.
