Vista
A group show of landscapes and nature
The group show Vista, 4th - 25th of May, features Christabel Forbes, Georgina McIntyre Malou, Helen M Tate and Kate Jupe.
Christabel Forbes
Christabel Forbes is a young colourist whose individual treatment of landscape is unmistakably her own.
She was born in 1991 in Courbevoie, outside Paris, of mixed French and British parentage, and is now based in London.
Christabel trained at The Royal Drawing School, after taking a BA in Fine Art at Falmouth University.
She has built up a portfolio of residencies and teaching experience in the UK and abroad, based around her use of colour to evoke people and places.
In her work, as in her teaching, she tries to maintain a level of playfulness and spontaneity.

Georgina McIntyre Malou
Georgina is a painter, children’s book illustrator, and nomad. She’s lived in France, England, Sweden, and Senegal, but these days you’ll find her in the Mediterranean Bosques of Catalunya, sitting on a picnic chair, painting impressions of the surrounding vegetation.
She studied Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, London, where she spent most of her time cutting up road signs, constructing spheres, painting flowers on buildings, and all together revelling in the urban landscape.
After graduating in 2005, she soon moved on to children’s book illustration and have since then created images for picture books, school manuals, card games, apps and websites.
Her itchy feet have taken her to exotic places around the world and her drawings are influenced by travels around Europe, South America, Australasia, Asia, and Africa. She views her paintings as polite yet curious observations of the people and landscapes around her, with a penchant for forests and a palette inspired by vintage posters.

Helen M Tate
Helen’s work is an expression of stories she finds in words, music and above all nature, the environment that is constantly changing; seasons, the time of day, drastic skies, wind that blows, stormy seas. She adores to see the shifting in the seasons, seeing the views of the never-ending amazement of our earth.
Helen is from Sweden, the home of the forests, but she has lived in both Holland and on the Isle of Man before settling down in the Maresme hills with her husband, children and two dogs.
She seeks a balance between the controlled and the unforeseen, observing her interest in Japanese aesthetics, with wabi-sabi as her strongest influence; the relationship between nature and all imperfections.
For this group exhibition ’Vista’ Helen has drawn inspiration from unique Swedish words. Her resulting sculptures are simple yet flawed, telling stories of calmness, protection, imagination, and dreams. Her aim is to transport her audience to a place of serenity and wonder.

Kate Jupe
Kate Jupe is a British painter , born in 1994. She now works between her studio in Oxfordshire and London. Having completed a BA in Fine Art at Bath School of Art & Design in 2018. Kate creates abstract mixed media works which are based on form, colour and textures found in rural landscapes and nature.
All of Kate’s works reference her own photography, which captures a landscape in a moment of time. The photographs allow her to return to those previous surroundings, where she was once fully immersed; documenting weather, colour, terrain, and meeting points, through the use of oil paint, pastels, spray paint, acrylic, pen and pencil.
In each of her works she pushes the boundaries of mediums and the physical applications, creating different gestural marks. Kate's practice is very fluid and experimental, her works are an expression of the landscape and how she personally sees the land of which she roams, relaying that into a painterly view.
