20th CENTURYBOXMID-CENTURY MODERN, PUNK ERA TREASURES

AND GIRLY GUILTY PLEASURES. IT’S ALL IN THE MIX!

10

When you have a passion for mid-century furniture and 60’s glassware but you also can’t resist pretty boudoir fripperies and a bit of vintage dressing table action our advice is to go eclectic. And collections of things that don’t seemingly live in the same ‘house’ can happily co-exist via carefully curated shelves and edited displays of cherished items.

11

Here a living room built around a few seminal Modernist furniture pieces – a Corbusier chaise, an Eileen Grey side table and a 1930s Brutalist coffee table – plays host to a kitschy ‘60s sunburst mirrored display cabinet filled with mid-Century European glassware and Palm Beach inspired cushions made from vintage palm print glazed cotton with acid yellowsilk backs. While elsewhere in the space, curated shelves filled with art and fashion books sit next to club style mirrored 1930s lamps and painterly artworks set on deep red walls creatinga boho library feel.In the bedroom department feminine wiles take over and Deco style mirrored furniture, pale Chinoiserie quilts, faded animal skins and chandeliers are a backdrop to vintage look dressing table displays.

And in a nod to mis-spent youth, nostalgic punky visual anecdotes – Richard Morrison ‘Cut’ artworks, Sex Pistols collectables and Bella Freud’s message sweaters - fill up any other available space.

Items from this feature are available for sale within the everythinginmyhouse and everythinginmywardrobe store.

ALKER ON THE WILD SIDE

working from his studio on the remote moors

of west Cornwall, Rod Walker’s paintings

take us on a natural high...

13

14

From the urban grit of Merseyside where he was born and formative years spent in character building South East London to time spent in leafy Surrey, where he studied at Epsom School of Art under the tutelage of the brilliant Peter Peterson, Walker’s life path has been full of contrasts. Not least with periods working as a deep sea fisherman and a tin miner in achieving his desire to become a full time studio painter; both experiences that are recollected in some of Walker’s work.Settling into west Cornwall’s established artist colony of St Ives and Penzance in the 1970s, Walker existed in an environment vibrant with the minimalist abstraction of Sir Terry Frost RA and Sandra Blow RA as well as the colourist experimentation of Patrick Heron and Roger Hilton. “I was incredibly lucky. I got here and it was just at the right time with all of these amazing people working around me. Roger (Hilton) definitely had a huge impact on me andmy work.”The areas unique sun-drenched light and the climate’s shifting seasonal effect on the land and sea (reflected in an immense history of local art encompassing the historic Newlyn and St Ives Schools of painters), informs Walker’s rich painterly style. “You are never far away from the sea here with its’ strong horizon and of course the moors are all there stretched out into the distance. These are constants but they are also always changing. It is extremely

“I draw all the time for my

painting; months of sketches

sometimes working towards

one piece.”

“I got here and it was

15

elemental this area. It is all about water, wind, earth and hopefully a nice fire at the end of it.”Traditional disciplines of life drawing and observational sketching also run deep with Walker “I still love drawing and I draw all the time for my painting; months of sketches sometimes working towards one piece.” All of this heritage and influence is evident in Walker’s incredible archive of paintings, drawings and prints.Three years spent painting from a studio deep in the luscious gardens of Trewidden House resulted in one of Walker’s major group of works; where landscape and the way it evolves daily became a major focus. “Having a studio within Trewidden Gardens, well that informed everything I was doing. It was all around me. The studio had these little leaded stained glass windows and I’d look out onto this incredible panorama of trees and ferns and plants.” The coloured glass as a window on the world is almost tangible in some canvasses where natural forms become jewel like in their colours and precious symbolism. But the over-riding effect is of being at one with the landscape and how it evolves; from day to night, from autumn to spring.Currently working from his latest romantically remote studio near the disused Ding Dong tin mine on the windswept and light saturated West Cornwall moors, Walker’s canvasses take

shape over months of changing seasons and evoke an ever-evolving setting. “The road to my studio and travelling there each day is what influences me most at the moment,” say Walker.

“The seasons, the elements, everything constantly shifting...my surroundings are what inspire me.” Situated in the Bone Valley in a disused dairy parlour his studio space is beautifully sky-lit to reveal a new body of works in progress which hints towards an added juxtaposing layer of geometry and symmetry within classic Walker landscapes. Periods of time spent in India with his family “introduced me to this really traditional symmetry and order within art and architecture”, he explains, “and that comes through subconsciously in my work sometimes.”In each of Walker’s paintings the formality of figurative training and history meets modernist abstraction and a true sense of season, landscape, colour and light which epitomises West Cornwall’s peninsula.The result is a form of semi-abstraction of nature which is unique to Walker; something which we look forward to seeing muchmore of in the future.

Sometimes we enter an artist’s residence

and it is amazing to see just how close

their home style and their art can be.

Stella Maris is one such visionary.

RISINGSTAR

21

22

As part of a new generation of St Ives painters and printmakers Stella’s work is certainly influenced by the same Cornish school that featured late 20th Century artists such as Sandra Blow and Terry Frost. But her understanding of strong colour, expressed in purist prints, breathes new life and energy into a British modernist style, which is enjoying the beginnings of a renaissance.

“When possessions are reduced,

those that remain have space to breathe.”

On how her technique is particularly relevant to her art style Stella explains, “The process of screen printing allows me to reduce the number of elements in a piece of work. I am interested in the way an edited piece can be so powerful. The aim is to create more than just an arrangement of colour and shape; there has to be some spirit in the work.”

23

“I am interested in the way an edited piece

can be so powerful...there has to be

some spirit in the work”

Stella’s home mirrors this aesthetic perfectly. On entering the neat frontage to her Cornish cottage one is met with a Tardis-like living space; an effect made all the more dramatic via the clever use of giant sized polished slate tiles. Then slowly as you take in the immaculate details of the space you start to feel as though you might be standing inside one of the artist’s prints.A statement wall rendered in brilliant Mexican lime green juxtaposes the other clean white surfaces that frame a selection of prints by Stella and a few very carefully selected pieces of modernist furniture; an Ercol chair, a simple wood burning stove and carefully placed sculptures by Paul Benyovits whose clean lined, polished forms perfectly complement the artist’sown work.

24

“I am a de-cluttering evangelist! I believe fervently in having only the things you love in your home. When possessions are reduced, those that remain have space to breathe and you can focus on these items without distraction” says Stella.Upstairs a stark palette of red, white and grey is unbroken save for a decorative gilt mirror that somehow works brilliantly in the space; an unexpected Rococo foil in a modernist haven.

When quizzed on it Stella says, “I have no idea why I fell in love with this mirror nearly twenty years ago. It was quite out of keeping. But it has lived with me in London, Brighton and now Cornwall - a very treasured (and very tarnished) friend....”Studied vignettes pop up in smaller spaces about the house – with a Jaffa coloured print entitled ‘Landing’ sitting next to a perfect display of citrus fruits and a small piece by Paul Benyovits mirroring the organic forms of a potted succulent.

25

The bold visual representations in Stella’s home and her work offer a refreshingly simple antidote to complicated times and with her work currently attracting attention within the design and fashion worlds she is our hot tip in terms of affordable, collectable art.

Fashion editor Sue Evans’ Chelsea flat is a pretty treasure trove of feminine finds and vintage displays. Victoriana meets 1930’s glamour in her attic bedroom (which overlooks a charming mews off the Fulham Road) where dandy striped taffetas, lace and broderie cushions, crystal lamps and chandeliers play host to tableaux of antique corsages, vintage perfume packaging and dressing table trousseaux; all in shades of Schiaparelli pink, shell and Parma violet.

31

Into the sitting room and a palette of English mustard yellow, black, ivory and gold define a space full of family photos, life’s momentos, flea market finds, original artwork and signed limited edition prints, gorgeous art books and Louis XV style furniture. A whitewashed mirror and gilt side tables, silk and velvet Designer’s Guild cushions, a vintage Timney & Fowler Romanesque border and luscious floral displays add texture and glamour.

32

In the apartment’s romantic Tiffany blue bathroom more vintage perfume and cosmetics packaging are celebrated within curated shelves packed with hand-painted bottles and 1930’s dressing table accessories, while the walls are festooned with wreathes of gold leaf sea shells and nostalgic montages in handmade frames.

And then a jolt to the senses in this pretty, feminine abode; a kitchen which isseemingly crammed from floor to ceiling with super-bright 1920s and ‘30s British ceramics. Susie Cooper, Clarice Cliff and Carlton Ware jostle for space on handpainted shelves and Welsh dressers while black and white floor tiles and more Designers Guild textiles add to the visual feast and remind us of the printed teadresses we have just seen in Sue’s wardrobe.

Sue’s whole home style is redolent of her collection of vintage clothing and accessories part of which is featured for sale in our store pages. From a 1972 Christian Dior haute couture gown in tangerine silk gazar to a box of 1940’s silk stockings in their original packaging and vintage baby gowns, the history of fashion is referenced in an archive which is all about femininity, glamour and the elegance of a bygone age.

MASTERSTROKE

LINDA STONEMAN INVITES US

INTO HER VERY REAL HOME

AND ALLOWS US TO EXPLORE

THE FAMILY’S FASCINATING

ARCHIVE OF MASTER ART PRINTS

37

Designed by master printer Hugh Stoneman, Orchard Flower Farm is an imposing Douglas fir house perched above a bucolic valley with a babbling brook running below. In his lifetime the building provided not only a home for his family but also thestudio in which Stoneman worked with such artworld greats as Sir Terry Frost RA, Patrick Heron, John Hoyland and Sandra Blow RA.

Today the studio has been turned, in part, into an inspired holiday apartment (with uninterrupted views from the floor to ceiling studio windows and a rotation of notable artworks on display) while the main house remains home to Linda Stoneman and her grown up children.The core of the building is a modest Victorian cottage and provides the framework upon which Stoneman designed Orchard Flower Farm; building around it in glass and timber and creating an ‘inside out’ feeling with conservatory spaces at either end of the main

3�

rooms. The effect is one that brings the natural surroundings inside and Linda’s home style reinforces this with huge indoor plants,organically shaped feature furniture pieces, roughly hewn slate floors and a vegetable dye palette of brights for super-textured cushions and curtains all forming a tactile backdrop to Linda’s curated selection from the Stoneman print archive. A soft pink botanical screen print by Gary Hume hangs above a classic Ercol rocking chair, the sitting room is lined with classic black and white images by Eve Arnold (creating a bold contrast with the apple green walls) and around each corner one finds another Terry Frost or a Breon O’Casey in amongst the myriad art books, bespoke textiles and family ephemera.

In this issue of everythinginmyhousemagazine Linda presents a selection of Stoneman archive limited edition prints for sale by Sandra Blow RA, John Hoyland and Gary Hume.

TRADITION MEETS

CONTEMPORARY MESSAGING

IN THE WORK OF SCULPTOR

AND FURNITURE MAKER

ROGER WEISMAN

43

21st

century

icon

44

Hailing from Los Angeles (where he worked for many years in the film industry) and now based in the UK Roger Weisman is best described as sculptor meets furniture maker. A fascination with traditional techniques and skills meets a modern day message in Weisman’s aesthetic and his latest group of works is all about this juxtaposition in the extreme.

The language and icons of the 21st century (a scaled up iPhone and the graphic verbal definitions of the street and popular culture), are lent a history and sense of place in time when rendered in beautifully up-cycled materials from the past fifty years of manufacturing. Inversely, the most simple natural forms (organic shapes reminding us of nature’s elements), and materials (woods and unrefined metals), are celebrated in a technically meticulous way; as if to make them almost scientific in their presentation. Both approaches come together in a body of work which is all about contrasts; and provokes thoughts about the times we live in,

45

times past and how the two co-exist in the everyday. All delivered with a hefty dose of irony.Weisman’s elegant Georgian apartment reflects this meeting of tradition, modernity and humour. Classic ticking stripes, shabby chic sofas and distressed painted furniture play host to Weisman’s key word hangings - along with a museum like display of downscaled miniature anvils which he has collected overthe years.

Roger Weisman’s work is available to buy at his everythinginmystudio store page.

Roger Weisman also works on a private commission basis for private and commercial clients. For more details email

STILL INSPIRING AT 80,

BRITISH PAINTER ROSE HILTON

IS A TRUE STYLE ICON WHEN

IT COMES TO LIVING LIFE TO THE FULL

AND LOOKING COOL

AVINTAGE

ROSE

47

4�

There are of course amazing works of art all around the house - by Rose herself, late husband Roger Hilton and other well known British artists from the past forty years – all hung with an easy and casual lack of pretension. Plus there are myriad eclectic gems of furniture; mid-20th Century modernist lamps, Bloomsbury style rugs, shabby chic sofas and Louis XV chairs put together in a dishabille manner which comes naturally to only a select few.

On entering painter Rose Hilton’s house you are immediately aware that you are in the home of someone possessing that kind of effortless cool which does not come from anywhere other than deep creativity and an innate personal style; the kind of cool that money will never be able to buy.

4�

But it is Rose’s personal style that we have come to explore today and which makes the octogenarian extraordinary.Rose Hilton celebrated her 80th last year with a lunch party full of interesting creative folk (artists, writers, actors, locals and lots of family members) followed by a performance from the retro

synthesizer band Hedluv and Passman, who are so trendy it hurts. The birthday girl wore a simple Peruvian Connection black dress, a ceramic necklace from the Royal Academy and danced all afternoon. Today Rose appears in her conservatory, (the room itself a sight to behold with its ancient grapevine twisting across the ceiling and vintage chaise longue draped in mismatched textiles), wearing full length black on black, bias cut devorée from

50

Donna Karan’s memorable A/W 1996 collection. She teams the showstopper of a frock with a wide jersey headband and punky neon and black fingerless gloves - from Claire’s Accessories no less. The effect is breathtaking.

“Molly Parkin

dragged

me into

Donna Karan

insisting I buy

something

fabulous

to wear

for the show.”

“I was on my way to the private viewing for my very first exhibtion at Messums Fine Art in London” remembers Rose “and Molly Parkin dragged me into Donna Karan insisting I buy something fabulous to wear for the show and this is what I chose.” Later in the day Rose slips into a vintage silk jersey 30’s style bias cut jumpsuit. She adds some quirky knitted arm warmers, olive coloured evening gloves, and the look becomes one all of her own. But lying on the chaise longue with her dance shoes on show we are also reminded of Biba, Celia Birtwell and Bohemian days gone by. “That whole period in fashion is very important to me” she explains. “It is still a look I love and relate to.”

51

An elegant, lithesome figure - Rose swims in the Atlantic Ocean near her home on a regular basis, belies a supreme confidence in each of these looks but it is something that wasn’t always so acceptable in Rose’s world. “Growing up in a family of very religious Plymouth Brethren, clothes and one’s looks were really not something deemed appropriate to focus on” she says “so establishing a personal style was something that came much later on at college and after time spent in London.”

On our store pages a seminal John Galliano full length tuxedo evening coat appears along with other pieces from Rose’s eclectic vintage collection including a deconstructed DKNY blazer and trousers by Nolita NYC. A little bit punky, a little bit maverick and a whole lot Bohemian. Rose Hilton, aged 80, should be an inspiration to all of us.

like a rolling stoneHere at Everythinginmyhouse we are really

interested in the environment in which an artist

chooses to work. And wherever Ken Gill

chooses to be in the world, his art follows.

56

From his time spent living in New York City we have long loved Ken Gill’s Deep Time Latent ‘found object ‘ canvasses; tarmac drenched screen grabs embellished with junk treasures and overlaid with urban street paint markings in nearly neon tones. “Each piece is specific to a street and features items found there; a broken gold chain maybe in the bar district or bits of hardware outside the chandler’s store. Each one tells the story of that street.” he explains.

More sedentary years spentin rural France and Spain inspired montages of highly considered decoupage-like tableaux which owe a lot

“Each piece is

specific to a street

and features items

found there.”

to Japanese culture while reminding us of Continental poster art and Mediterranean sun-drenched peeling walls. “I found these beautiful Japanese handwritten accountancy ledgers in San Fransisco and decided to incorporate them into a group of works calledAccounting For The Stones.”Works in real stone are flashpoints in Gill’s relationship with the environment. In his pieces entitled What Sleeping Stones Dream, softly rounded forms are starkly juxtaposed and cut through with lean stripes of glass. They speak volumes about nature and man’s place within it as well as about another of Gill’s homes from home – the wild coasts of Southern Ireland. Today Gill is comfortably developing a working relationship with the rugged and romantic Cornish

57

peninsula; utilizing its forgotten, mineral rich debris in 3D celebrations of the ground we walk on.For his latest Mineral Shadows series of works, carefully selected rocks are cherry picked from the sites of disused tin mines and a glass cast of the stone is created which sits alongside the natural ‘found’ form to represent contrasts or shadows in the earth’s make-up; the glass mirror image pairing looking almost

jewel-like next to theweathered, ancient ore.Gill resides in a appropriately natural space with a beautifully simple studio/home set up overlooking Newlyn Harbour. Within an Italianate style folly with garage doored studio space below and an apartment above, Gill has created amost conducive working environment for an artist so in touch with his surroundings. Views across the Atlantic Ocean, pebble beaches on the

5�

5�

60

doorstep and disused tin mines just a walk away are all good reasons for the artist’s choice of home. And inside the concept of, very simply, celebrating perfectly designed pieces (an angle poise lamp, an Ercol chair, a mid-Century modern table), is met with more of this external influence via beautifully stripped back paper and paintwork (reminding us of those Mediterranean sun drenched, peeling walls again), and through carefully selectednatural objects (a giant seed

pod or a single dried bloom), drawing down daylight from the huge curtain-less windows and bringing the outside in.The effect is deeply calming and truly all at one with nature.

KERNOW STREETMAT MCIVOR TAKES ON THE TRADITIONAL CORNISHLANDSCAPE IN HIS INIMITABLE STREET ART STYLE

64

Best known for his public art and mural work, Mat McIvor’sCornish land and seascapes took us by surprise.

Using the techniques utlilized in his street art and graphics for the music industry McIvor first works up line drawings and then creates painted works on paper before translating his vision into slick, mutli-layered images.

65

Urban pullouts of street signage and telegraph poles provide graphic architecture while stencilling and tonal bandsof airbrushing render Mat’s work in a totally painterly style.
