To coincide with the Chelsea Flower Show, an exhibition of botanical watercolours by Alisa Tingley is to be held on May 24-28
at John Adams Fine Art Ltd, Ebury Street, London.
Great botanical masterpieces of the past come to mind when you view Alisa Tingley’s remarkable watercolours. The tradition of painting plants and insects together goes back to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when the Dutch masters adorned their still-life flower paintings with butterflies, snails and other curiosities, and botanical artists such as Maria Sibylla Merian brought their plant close-ups to life with all manner of beetles, spiders and birds.
Bringing a contemporary twist to this age-old tradition, Oxfordshire-based artist Alisa Tingley takes her inspiration from the extraordinary beauty of the natural world, often teaming up insects and flora that she thinks reflect each other in design. A shield beetle, for example, is thrown together with a decaying leaf; a cicada with a mushroom. ‘I want to show people the amazing design, structure, symmetry and colour that exist within nature,’ she says. ‘My approach is artistic rather than scientific and I portray plants and insects as images of design and beauty.’
Using working drawings and photographs, Alisa’s technique is to apply numerous layers of watercolour to build up the colour and texture of each subject. Before this, she spends many hours studying and drawing the plant or insect, using her own photographs as reference if necessary. The exhibition will feature 20 works, all original watercolours on paper, as well as some of Alisa’s working drawings.

To coincide with our 20th Anniversary, The Ebury Galleries is celebrating with an exhibition party of our new collection by 20th Century painters.
Established in 1990, great 20th Century masterpieces, chic contemporary and important traditional is what John Adams Fine Art has become renowned for. The 20th Anniversary show presents the best of the 20th century, uniquely representing works by the late Frederick Gore RA along side the genius of Claude Venard championing British and French greats across this creative decade.
Bringing a contemporary twist to this diverse period, The Ebury Galleries takes its inspiration from the extraordinary creativity and range of the current art market with an emphasis on quality, painterly technique and a colourful palette. When asked to comment on the Gallery over the last twenty years, John Adams stated ‘The gallery has always presented an eclectic range of both figurative and abstract art. Our recent appointment as custodians of the Othello Radou Estate has placed the gallery at the forefront in the new wave of post war abstract art and attracted international scholarly interest. The anniversary represents both a significant milestone and a celebratory springboard to the future.’
Keep an eye on our events for our forthcoming party to celebrate with our friends, clients, artists and the people behind the scenes of the Ebury galleries will be a rare and exciting union of all the people that have cultivated and supported this gallery over twenty years.

Moritz Baumann (b.1973) will be showing 15 landscape paintings of Swiss mountain scenes at Ross Hamilton, 95 Pimlico Road, London SW1W 8PH (tel/fax 0207 730 3015 - contact: Mark Boyce) from March 3rd to March 31st 2010.
The exhibition is titled `MOUNTAIN PAINTINGS – Visions of Light in the Swiss Alps` and will be open Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and 10am to 5pm on Saturdays.
Moritz painted his first mountain painting in 1997. They are remarkable for the light they capture, their sense of depth, scale and moment – looking at his paintings one can almost taste the air.
Moritz pairs his paintings with carefully selected antique frames because he wants people to look at them in a historical context. He sees his work as a continuation of the ideas which once moved the expressionists and post-impressionists.
Technically, his paintings are painted on birch plywood with acrylic polymer paint, using brushes and fingers. He often uses some reflective paint in his paintings - it helps achieve some of the vivid light-effects that make the alpine landscape so pure, as well as making his paintings `shimmer` as the viewer moves around them, which he likes.

The Pimlico Road in Belgravia officially celebrated the start of summer last night with the annual Summer Party. The local community, as well as guests including designer Roland Mouret, Nicky Haslam, actress and former Bond girl Maryam d’Arbo and author John Rendall were out in force to celebrate one of the most unique shopping streets in the world.
An eclectic mix of entertainment got people in the party spirit; the Ebony Steel Band had people dancing, a barrel organ and a Victorian themed penny farthing double-act were popular with children and adults alike; and a traditional ice cream stall served delicious organic ice cream. A Pearly King happily chatted to visitors, reminding them that the Pimlico Road really is one London’s most loved treasures.
The stores opened their doors serving guests drinks and canapés; Daylesford Organic offered tasters of their much loved Château Léoube Rose wine, as well as hosting food demonstrations for their cookery school. Wild at Heart greeted guests with bunches of colourful posies and held flower demonstrations.
