Adam Dant: ﻿﻿Legends of Albion at Newlands House Gallery
2025-01-03 10:00 - 2025-02-16 17:00 | Newlands House Gallery, Pound Street, Petworth, west sussex, GU28 0DX, United Kingdom
NOW – 16 February 2025
Wednesday to Saturday 10am – 5pm
Sunday 11am – 4pm

We are thrilled to invite you to experience the captivating world of Adam Dant, opening Saturday 23 November 2024. Known for his intricate map illustrations and keen eye for detail, Adam Dant offers a unique lens into the quirks and culture of everyday life, blending history with the present in works that are as humorous as they are thought-provoking.

Taking as their theme the vivid and arcane origin myths of Britain, the latest works by renowned cartographer Adam Dant revive the long lost art of ‘The Painted Cloth’ and the role of The Painter Stainer in context of British Contemporary Art.
Once a common alternative to tapestries, decorative wall paintings and panelling, The Painted Cloths commissioned from The Worshipful Company of The Painter-Stainers would have hung in the palaces of the nobility as well as in the modest homes of folk who nonetheless could also interpret and appreciate the classical, biblical and mythological themes depicted and described in bright layers of colour and lively, cursive line.
Inspired by the work of The London Society of Antiquaries Adam Dant animates objects and images from its collection across several large painted cloths to render for the modern world, stories which would have been familiar as subject matter to the likes of Inigo Jones, Ben Jonson and Henry Purcell before the medium was superseded by wallpapers and various other decorative contingencies.
Origin stories such as those described by Geoffrey of Monmouth in his pseudo-history of the lineage of British Rulers include how Brutus and his Trojans founded New Troy on the banks of The Thames, how the disembodied head of ‘Bran The Blessed’ came to be buried at The White Hill as one of the nations ‘Palladiums’ as well as how a race of monstrous giants came to be wandering the islands of Albion.
These stories have also inspired Dant in his current role as official artist to The Lord Mayor of London 2024/25.
In addition to these impressive and engaging paintings is a display of Adam Dant’s latest associated maps and charts which further explore and reveal the colliding and coalescing common histories of British mythology. These include a convincing lineage of British rulers tracing the monarchy of King Charles lll directly back to the Greek God Zeus, personifications of ‘The Guardians of London’s Lost Rivers’ as well as cartographic guides to all manner of mythic realms, Theatrical, Criminal and Crypto-Zoological.
Several events are planned whereby the artist will reveal in conversation and practical display the details of his methods, motivations and inspirations.

Petworth Beyond Memory - A Tour of the Town in Old Photographs
2025-01-22 19:00 - 21:00 | Leconfield Hall
22 JANUARY 2025

7.00 pm – 9.00pm

Doors open 6.30pm, Admission charges £5 for members £7 for non-members. Prior booking is not required Refreshments available.

The first Petworth Society talk of the 2025 season will see Miles Costello taking the audience on a rambling tour of the ancient streets of Victorian Petworth.

Mainly the work of the Petworth photographer Walter Kevis most of the images will have never before been seen on the Leconfield Hall cinema screen.

Starting in a remarkably empty and motor less Market Square and stretching out along the warren of mediaeval thoroughfares that make up the town centre, the audience will be transported through Petworth during what some questionably describe as its heyday.

An important record of what is now becoming our distant past the photographs portray the town during the third quarter of the nineteenth and the early years of the twentieth century when many ancient buildings were replaced by those that we are familiar with today.

Watch carefully and you may even see your own home as it was well over a century ago!
