In my resent subscribers newsletter I advertised my appearance for the ‘oro de ojo’ event at corsica studios, as previewed by the Gaurdian. There has been a major unforeseen error by the organisers of tonight’s event and because of the extremely short notice of the inevitable compromises, I’ve decided it’s impossible to deliver the pre-planned performance. These are unforeseen circumstances beyond my control. I may be working with them in the future and will of course keep you updated. If any of you bought tickets and no longer want to go / have trouble getting a refund, I will exchange your ticket for a painting.

Apologies culture vultures. It happens.

On a happier note…

I’ll be playing around at the experimental afternoon of performance art, “FOUR”, curated by contemporary godfather of said art form, Richard Layzell. January 26^th, 1.30pm, the Gallery/Theatre at Wimbledon CA, Merton Hall Road, London.

This may be the last chance to catch me at a public event in London for a little while; I have a lot of preparing to do because as of March this year I will be based in Berlin for six months to complete a residency/period of intensive study at the Universität der Künste (UdK) Berlin. My blog will be particularly active during this time, with glorious tecnicolour photographs and paintings. I’ll be flying back occasionally to leave paint-stained trails across London though – there are a few top (…top, top) secret projects in the pipeline, and at least one goodbye before I leave. I’m also currently working on an exciting international curation project with the Tate Britain, more on this to follow.

Later in the year will be my solo show at the We Are Arts Gallery on Southampton Row, central London – near the British Museum – as soon as I get back from the post in Berlin, so back to grindstone (…paintbrush). There is some pretty exciting press coming up in the next few weeks so keep checking the website.

Much love,

Elizabeth

Hello! Welcome to the brand new ElizabethHepworth.com. The majority of the content is still being uploaded, so in the mean time please visit my Myspace and CommentArt pages to view my work, or contact me for a CV.

This is still very early days so please forgive any oddities, we are tweaking still and everything should be perfect by the end of the week.

Lovely.

Had an amazing time in October when I was asked to appear at the National Portrait Gallery’s Big Draw event, ‘Zoom in/Zoom out’. Lots of live drawing in the gallery and encouraging some initially reluctant but eventually super inspired members of the public to try. Thanks to everyone who came down. I’ll be back at the N.P.G on the 27th November giving free public gallery talks (interjected by drawing and dancing around to David Bowie) for the ’60s Retro’ event from 6.30. Get your Twiggys drawn on.

Everybody buy a copy of the next Aesthetica Annual/Magazine, I’ve been highly commended in the field of ‘Artwork & Photography’ for my 2009 painting, ‘Toby’ (see comment art/myspace above).

The Enterprise Centre for the Creative Arts has nominated me for a Creative Enterprise Award, check this out: http://www.ecca-london.org/events/entweek/enterpriseweek2009/creativeenterpriseawards/

Kisses.
