SUMMARY:Julian Opie: Collected Works/Works Collected at Newlands House Gallery
DESCRIPTION:6 NOVEMBER 2021 –  6 MARCH 2022 \n \nWednesday – Saturday 10am-5pm \nSunday 11am-4pm \n\n\n\n\nOpening 6 November\, Newlands House Gallery presents Julian Opie: Collected Works/Works Collected\, showcasing over 100 objects from the contemporary British artist’s personal collection\, ranging from the ancient world to the present day\, alongside a selection of his own sculptures\, paintings and films. Presented in the historic market town of Petworth in Newlands House Gallery’s Georgian building\, the exhibition offers a unique opportunity for visitors to see how Opie’s interests and journey as a collector\, inform the art he makes himself.  \nJulian Opie is internationally recognised for his distinctive and refined drawing style\, distilling the visual information of our everyday reality to a universal language of symbols and signs\, reflecting his preoccupation with the idea of representation\, and the means by which images are perceived and understood. A wide range of techniques are visible throughout Opie’s work – from cutting-edge LCD technology to mosaic\, beadwork and engraved stone – and are presented here in dialogue with the artworks that have inspired them.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOpie writes: “Spookily often\, when I am stuck for decisions\, I get up and look at some other art and find a solution right there. The work of others pushes me beyond what I know and assume\, it suggests new logics and approaches and makes me feel not so alone in this strange endeavour.”  \nIn a multifarious and dynamic display\, the exhibition includes Ancient Greek and Roman statuary\, Egyptian sarcophagi\, Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblocks\, beaded sun hats\, armour and Indonesian ancestral figures\, alongside original manga sketches from Studio Ghibli and contemporary works by\, amongst others\, Kara Walker\, Chuck Close\, Roy Lichtenstein and Sol LeWitt.  \nCarefully curated within the architecture and domestic space of Newlands House Gallery\, the exhibition also provides an intimate visual map of Opie’s interior world. The works are not organised chronologically\, instead they are curated to reflect the inquisitive mind of the artist; everyday scenes of Japanese women by Kitagawa Utamaro are positioned alongside Opie’s animated LCD portrait Ruth smoking 2 (2006); Augustin Edouart’s silhouette portraits of Victorian families are presented together with Opie’s own silhouettes from 2010\, depicting both his own family and friends and The Gallery Staff; in the garden\, recent metal sculptures Deer 2 and Dog 4 (2020) are installed alongside Yoko XIX (2006) by Don Brown. Opie’s portrait paintings and 3D sculpture are shown together with old Master paintings by Joshua Reynolds and a variety of helmets meant both for recreation and battle. These unconventional combinations offer in insight into his ongoing artistic endeavour\, steeped in the visual and material languages of the past; a conversation spanning hundreds and thousands of years and continuing on into the future.  \nNewlands House is a new gallery inspired by the historic associations of Petworth and Sussex with great artists\, writers and designers from times past. It seeks to reinvigorate this legacy with the vitality of modern and contemporary art and design shaping contemporary culture. In the intimacy of a converted home\, Newlands House sits at the centre of Sussex’s burgeoning cultural scene\, spanning museums\, art centres\, festivals\, vineyards\, nature trails and stately homes. In 2020\, the gallery opened to great acclaim with two inaugural exhibitions\, a tribute to Helmut Newton and a survey of top works by designer\, architect and artist Ron Arad. Set in the heart of the South Downs\, Newlands House invites visitors to engage with the work of the greatest artists in an unexpected\, Georgian setting\, contrasting to white cube environments the art historical canon is predominantly presented in.

SUMMARY:Gordon Rushmer at Rountree Tryon Gallery
DESCRIPTION:8 – 19 FEBRUARY 2022 \n10.00am – 6.00pm \nRenowned war artist launches new book with exhibition in Petworth gallery. \nArtist Gordon Rushmer who was born in Petersfield and still lives locally has written a book about his  years working as an official war artist for the British and Dutch Royal Marines and Special Forces. Fully illustrated with all his paintings from the many military engagements he accompanied abroad\, this book and the original artworks will be exhibited by Rountree Tryon Galleries in Petworth from 8th-19th February. \nGordon worked alongside elite military units in Bosnia\, Kosovo\, Afghanistan\, Iraq and Eritrea from 1997 to 2007 and has written a full account of his experiences\, to accompany the watercolour and oil paintings he produced in the field. \nGallery director Chantelle Rountree said\, “It continues to be our pleasure to represent Gordon’s work; these works are so important at helping us empathise and understand what war means to those who are part of it. It may come as a surprise to many of his collectors who are more familiar with his bucolic landscapes\, to encounter the harrowing realities of war and gain a rare and moving insight into Gordon’s ‘double life’. His work has contributed to the Nation’s major war art collections and should not be missed in this one-off exhibition.” \nRountree Tryon will also be holding his customary landscape exhibition in September\, entitled ‘A Road Well Travelled’ with works painted throughout Britain over the last two years. \nGORDON RUSHMER – An Artist at War exhibition and book signing will run at Rountree Tryon Galleries\, Petworth\, West Sussex GU28 0AH from 8th – 19th February. \nFurther details can be obtained from the gallery website \nwww.rountreetryon.com \ninfo@rountreetryon.com \nTel: 01798 344 207
