How we live now | Commejévivonsachteu An exhibition of new artwork by Russell Layton

Tuesday 10 November - Saturday 21 November

What would our forebears make of Jersey life today?

In this new series of limited edition prints, Russell Layton places our modern selves within scenes captured by historic Jersey photographs sourced from the archives of Jersey Heritage and the Société Jersiaise.

Our Victorian ancestors, once the anonymous subjects of these photographs, now become the observers of our modern world and encourage us to see ourselves - as if through a looking glass - from a new perspective.

Russell has had four solo exhibitions, at the Jersey Arts Centre and in Guernsey. His work is held in private collections in London, New York, Sydney and Grouville.

Surveyor’s (Interim) Report An exhibition by Martin McDowell

Monday 23 November - Saturday 5 December

Every day, I happen to survey St. Aubin’s Bay, and in a calmly imagined manner it has become a backdrop to my painting, which, for several years has had me caught up in the notion of the continuous panoramic.

The notion allows for the idea that if one creates a sequence A B C, one can then quite happily remove any section and paint something completely different to sit in its place - all’s well so long as the edges join - meanwhile, the section removed, may generate a sequence along a fresh course, still relating in some way to the sequence it used to be part of.
