Revamp of the studio at Paul Guthrie’s house
Paul Guthrie is having an open house to showcase his new collection of work on Saturday 21st September between 10.00am and 4.00pm. Paul’s previous work has been exhibited widely and attracted buyers from all over the world. “My intention is to create vibrant, original art to lighten the space we live in.”
Lindfield Art Festival means different things to different artists and Paul Guthrie has been preparing his home and studio for the open house weekend. Taking doors off, putting in gallery style lights, fitting shutters to windows to block out daylight – not to mention painting artwork! It’s a busy and exciting time.
Paul has been experimenting with different visual states including camouflage, daylight, ultraviolet light and light emitting pigments. It’s really starting to come together and looks incredibly exciting!
Do pop along and experiment for yourself and see which lighting state you like best.
Paul’s open house is at 41 William Allen Lane on 20 Sept Friday 6-9pm AND Saturday & Sunday 10-4pm
More information about Paul’s work can be found on his website here.
Cellophane Live Art Installation with Sarah Gillings
At this years Lindfield Arts Festival there will be a Cellophane Live Art Installation outside Abbott’s chemist, in the High Street on 21st September. Sarah Gillings is a an award-winning multimedia and street artist who will create a wonderful street art piece using Cellograff. Cellograff is a technique where cellophane is stretched between any available support making paint ready surfaces, in this case Lindfield’s iconic Lime trees!
Cellograff provides the artist the freedom to create murals in a variety of new locations without the restriction of needing a wall. The translucent nature of the plastic adds a fascinating layer of visual complexity to the mural. Sarah’s Cellograff interventions typically involve inserting British wildlife into unexpected settings.
So come along and watch Sarah create a wonderful street art piece using just spray paint and cellophane wrapped around two trees!
More information about Sarah’s work can be found on her website here, her Instagram here or her Facebook page here.
This event is from 10:00am to 4:30pm on September 21 on Lindfield High Street

The Open Air Drawing Room
We are happy to welcome The Open Air Drawing Room to the 2019 Lindfield Arts Festival!
The Open Air Drawing Room is Eric MacLennan’s live art show which begins with an antiquated artists drawing group setting up for some landscape painting. Arrival and unpacking of folding stools, easels, flasks, other knick-knacks and sandwiches etc… But this is no ordinary show – for the audience will be drawn into the group!
Inspired by JMW Turner. A story that delightfully mixes historical biography with the fast contemporary world we now occupy. Paint a stone – for Turner – for the Turner Contemporary! Selected from…31 stones – a “mini museum” – each from the coast of the British isles and names after the atmospheric areas of the shipping forecast. These stones were old when Turner was young. They will still be here when we are gone. We consider Time. We consider Art.
Each artist (audience member) also makes a Cyanotype portrait which will be exhibited as a mirror image to the final painting – A Sea of Faces – embracing Turner’s pioneering interest in photography and his desire to find new ways.
This project invites the audience to create art and take part in a world record attempt for a painting that has been created by the largest number of artists! Co commissioned with Turner Contemporary, Margate who will host the Turner prize in October 2019.
