Nancy Cadogan

“A book contains an entire universe you can only bring to life in your imagination, if you agree to give it time. It is a tribute to privacy, an honouring of the interior life.” – Nancy Cadogan

Nancy Cadogan is a British figurative painter living in the UK. She has been exhibiting her work globally since 2004 with shows in London, New York, Rome, Oslo and Miami. Cadogan paints from imagination and observation to explore themes of literature, time, and still moments. Her paintings invite the viewer to share her joyful appreciation of contemplative observation. Her focus on colour and movement rather than perspective or shadow enables a more sensory experience that collapses boundaries between reality and the imagined.

Cadogan’s paintings in the ‘Still Reading’ series, engage with ideas of time and a private dialogue with literature. The genesis for the series originates from 2011, when she made her first book paintings for the London Antiquarian Book Fair. They capture the immense potential and excitement of reading and the possibilities of language within their diminutive scale. In one sense, the works are typical of the still life genre and record a sense of time passing. In another, they reflect on the concept of stillness more widely, as a rare condition within our hyper-networked contemporary reality, and instead celebrate quiet reflection.

S C A L E. U P I’m not going to lie. I’m obsessed with these new scaled up mono-prints. They could definitely go bigger though, what do you think? Shall I test a few even bigger versions?

An eagle soars over the hills as we drive around the coast at the Nobbies! Despite a lack of blue sky and sunshine the vistas are beautifully serene! Some Cape Barren Geese enjoyed posing for shots and Ma enjoyed the company of Jenny on our little road trip! At Bass I had to stop and film the camels that reside in a paddock on the highway! We started our journey at Newhaven enjoying a curry pie and a broccoli/cauliflower pie washed down with a coffee! Jenny kept guard outside the car as we savoured the bounty! Thanks Ben from Saltwater Phillip Island who gave us some water for Jenny! His restaurant is worth trying, great food wine and views across the bay! We have had a few visits with mum when she was more mobile! At 100 and closer to 101 she’s happy to stay in the car now! Mum Jenny and I had a lovely few hours on a cool Tuesday afternoon! #birdsscape #thenobbies #phillipisland #roadtrip #onthewingsofaneagle #soaringeagle #capebarrengeese #birds_adored #ww_australia #serene #calmseas #closerto101 #escapefromthenursinghome #drivingmisslinda #lindalinda #pastoremaremmanoabruzzese #seaair #godscreationisamazing #naturespalette #mardi #été #decembre #islandpies #newhavenphillipisland #saltwaterphillipisland @saltwaterphillipisland @islandpies_bakery_newhaven #blessed (at Phillip Island, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXLMeTeP3ML/?utm_medium=tumblr

Who isn't inspired by nature? We have a beautiful little visitor this morning as she sunned herself on our front window ledge flowerpot. I guess she's not afraid of heights! 🦋 #beautifulnaturepic #butterflyflyaway #natureisbeautiful #naturespalette #butterflyphotos #beautifulmorning #ilovenature #godscreation #beautifullymade #beautifulinsects #naturetherapyforsoul #naturalhealing #beautyinnature #anthonyhodgsonart https://www.instagram.com/p/CT7tcc7sWel/?utm_medium=tumblr

Mohammed Sami

“The power of invisibility has always been stronger for me than the power of visibility.”

Mohammed Sami approaches painting as an allegorical representation of the striking image of conflict and violence. His paintings explore belated memories triggered by common everyday objects from when he immigrated to Sweden as a refugee from his native Iraq.

Rather than using the stereotypical image of trauma to testify to the Iraq conflict, which he witnessed first-hand, Sami deploys painting to articulate war, memory, and loss obliquely. 

Sami’s painting challenges the typical image of suffering and provides a symptomatic perspective of conflict dynamics and its effects through a slow personal reading. His autobiographical works aim to evoke a widespread sense of loss that inhabits cultures collectively when it extends selfishness into generosity.

Born in Baghdad, Iraq, in 1984, Sami lives and works in London, UK. 

➡️ Currently his work is shown in ‘The Point 0’ exhibition at Camden Art Centre, his first institutional solo show in the UK, until May 28, 2023. Sami is also featured in the 58th Carnegie International, on view until April 2, 2023.

R E D. O C H R E. I thought I would pop my face on Instagram to say hi to you all! I have had quite a few new followers recently so this is me with my latest painting. This gorgeous deep and richly pigmented colour is from a gorgeous red ochre from the Red Ochre Trail in Wick. Swipe to see the earth for yourself. I am yet to visit and collect some of this earth myself but I will be making my way there soon with the doggy…not sure she will return to London white but most probably very RED! Do you have any interesting earth colours near to you? Let me know so I can add it to my list of places to visit! #redochre #redsoil #redearth #earthcolours #naturespalette #abstractart #abstractpainting #watercolourpainting #artcollector #artcurator #artgallery #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #contemporaryart #contemporaryartcollector #contemporaryartcollectors #contemporaryartdaily #contemporaryartgallery #contemporaryartist #contemporaryarts #contemporaryartwork #contemporarypainting #creative #fineart #instaart #modernart #geometricart #paint (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChW1ep1s-4D/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
