ARTS & ENTS

Manjit Thapp: meet the artist behind NOW Gallery’s latest exhibition

Birmingham-born illustrator Manjit Thapp has been selected for NOW Gallery’s Young Artist Commission 2021, and is subsequently staging her first solo show in its versatile gallery space. The prestigious commission, which celebrates rising talent in the fields of visual arts and illustration, has previously been awarded to illustrator Hattie Stewart in 2018 and multidisciplinary artist Sara Shakeel in 2019. Manjit’s resulting exhibition, My Head Is A Jungle, transforms the gallery into a maze-like jungle featuring large-scale murals, sculptures and tropical flora, writes Holly O’Mahony…

Having graduated with a BA in illustration from Camberwell College of Art, the young artist built a following for her work on Instagram. Manjit’s illustrations have since populated the pages of publications including Stylist and Time magazine, as well as her own books including the recently published graphic novel Feelings.

Holly O’Mahony speaks to artist

4 July 21 2021

Manjit Thapp and exhibition curator Kaia Charles to find out more…

Holly O’Mahony: Manjit, could you start by describing your journey as an artist and illustrator?

Manjit Thapp: I’ve loved art for as long as I can remember and as I got older, I started taking illustration more seriously. I began by posting my work online while I was at school and

quickly got into the habit of making work and sharing it online. I studied Illustration at Camberwell College of Art but alway made sure I was making time to develop my own personal work on the side. I now balance commissions and personal work.

HOM: You’re an illustrator and graphic novelist by trade. How are you feeling about moving into the gallery space?

MT: I’ve enjoyed having the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone, being so used to working 2D. NOW Gallery has such a great space that allows you to be completely creative without constraint. I loved coming up with ideas to transform the space and bring my 2D world to life.

HOM: What does being selected for the Young Artist

editorial@weekender.co.uk

Commission mean to you?

MT: I think back on visiting galleries on school trips and not seeing myself reflected in the art or by the artists. Because of this, growing up I felt like there wasn’t space for me in the art world and it would just have to stay a hobby. It means a lot to me to think about young women getting to see themselves in my work when they visit. This is www.weekender.co.uk

ARTS & ENTS my first solo show and I couldn’t be happier it’s at NOW Gallery, especially as they have worked with and put on such diverse shows.

HOM: Kaia, NOW Gallery often stages diverse, immersive exhibitions. Can you explain a bit about the appeal of this type of experiential art that fully engulfs the viewer?

Kaia Charles: The nature of the solo commission format is to invite the artist to ‘take over’ the space and think of how their work can be reimagined in a spatial way. No surface is off limits – floors, walls and the façade of the gallery all become part of the canvas. The gallery is a democratic space, as opposed to static, so the resulting works often involve levels of interactivity for the viewer.

HOM: How did you come to choose Manjit for the 2021 commission?

What attracted you to her work?

KC: I’m thrilled NOW Gallery is celebrating Manjit’s work. I’ve wanted to share her evocative drawings with our audiences for a long time. It is also important to me to challenge the lack of diverse representation and reflect the broader range of artists practising in the illustration space.

HOM: Manjit, how would you describe your style of work?

MT: My work revolves around female

characters and I use symbols, motifs and colours to convey a certain mood or atmosphere. I combine traditional and digital media, layering textures and patterns to create a layered collage feel.

thought to put into it, and I’m excited to see it all finally come together!

HOM: What draws you to each of the recurring motifs used in your work?

KC: InterestingProjects helped interpret the concepts of Manjit’s show and have translated these into a series of impressive three-dimensional rooms, which form the backdrop to her newly commissioned work. We can’t reveal too much in advance, but we are inviting the viewer to go on their own personal journey as they contemplate the interiors.

MT: When it came to thinking about the narrative for my show, I looked back at all my work and noticed how many jungle motifs I used. I decided to use that as the main theme. In my work, snakes represent our negative inner thoughts and tigers represent inner strength. Plants are our feelings which can overgrow and get tangled but also bloom.

HOM: Your work certainly speaks to a contemporary audience, but who do you look to for inspiration for your art?

MT: For this show, my main inspirations were Henri Matisse, Frida Kahlo and Henri Rousseau.

HOM: With a maze, sculptures and murals all planned, My Head Is A Jungle sounds like an ambitious exhibition. Have there been any hurdles to putting it on?

MT: It’s been so great to work with the gallery team and Interior design practice InterestingProjects, who have helped bring my ideas to life.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve had a lot of extra time and

HOM: Kaia, practically speaking, how have you transformed the gallery space into a maze?

HOM: Lastly, Manjit, what do you hope viewers glean from visiting your exhibition?

MT: Each section of the maze depicts a different section of our minds. As viewers pass through, I hope they are able to relate to the artwork’s themes that span overgrowing feelings, tangled thoughts, hidden fears and wild growth. I hope it inspires viewers to channel their feelings into art, whatever form that may take.

My Head is a Jungle is showing at NOW Gallery, The Gateway Pavilions, Peninsula Square, London SE10 0SQ. July 23 - October 31.

Tuesday - Friday, 10am - 7pm; Saturday 10am - 5pm; Sunday 11am - 4pm. www.nowgallery.co.uk/

Commedia dell’Arte on Greenwich Park Bandstand Commedia dell’Arte is an ancient artform hailing from Italy, where characters create chaos while telling outlandish stories. The Tramshed’s The Commedia dell’Tramshed Company is reviving the practice this weekend, on Greenwich Park Bandstand. La Confusione of Arlecchino tells a story of feuding masters, their teenage children who are all deeply in love with one another, and their well-intentioned servants who only add to the confusion. The story is being brought to life by 10 emerging performers chosen from within Progression, the Artist Development Programme. The show is part of the Progression Summer 2021 season ‘It Has No Borders (That Is Art)’, which celebrates practitioners and disciplines from around the planet to help decolonize British theatre.

History

The early railways

Mary Mills As we work our way down Deptford Creek on the Greenwich bank, in the early 19th century we would have followed a road called Ravensbourne Street - but that only went as far as the railway bridge.

Today this is Norman Road and it continues under the railway to Greenwich High Road. So - let’s look at the railway and the railway bridge - or should I say bridges because there’s one over the road and one over the Creek and parallel to the one over the Creek it is a more modern footbridge, and we need to look at that too.

First of all though, I think, we need to look at the railway itself. The London to Greenwich Railway is actually a very important railway that everybody in Greenwich should be proud of.

It is one of the earliest railways in the world - or what we think of as a railway, a powered locomotive running on a set route on rails.

There were lots of short lengths of wagonway and ‘plateways’ that were laid down to make wheeled vehicles run over them more easily. Some people would say the first railway in London is the one which ran from Croydon up through Wimbledon and Merton, and places like that to Wandsworth. It was called the Surrey Iron Railway and the wagons on it ran on rails – but they were pulled by

10 July 21 2021

horses, so that’s not what we would recognise as a railway. We need to have a steam locomotive chuffing along for it to be a proper railway trains, otherwise it doesn’t count.

The earliest railway in Kent and in the south of England was the Canterbury and Whitstable in 1830. People might remember the locomotive which used to stand on display on the main road round Canterbury. One of the leading figures in the Canterbury and Whitstable was Charles Pearson – who had copperas works in Whitstable, as well as in Deptford in Greenwich.

In Whitstable the railway ran on some of his land, and in Greenwich the railway ran alongside where his

Greenwich copperas works had been.

The London and Greenwich Railway certainly used locomotives and it was also very early. Of course there were earlier railways in the north of England and they were coming into London as fast as they could. It was only by a very slim margin that the London to Greenwich managed to claim to have opened the first railway station in London earlier than Euston. Now Euston was, and is, a big important station while London & Greenwich’s Spa Road was – well - a bit minimal. The site of Spa Road Station is just before you get into London Bridge and it’s just a few bits and pieces in between the lines.

Regardless of all this the London and Greenwich is a very early railway and in many ways very unusual.

I sometimes despair when I see books about early railways or talks or whatever and the London and Greenwich doesn’t get mentioned.

It was different from others in that it was built by the Royal Engineers just down the road in Woolwich had a lot of input into it. It is also built on this huge brick viaduct which makes its way down from London

Bridge to Deptford and it has been claimed that it is the biggest brick structure in the world - although I don’t know if that is true or not.

What we are going to look at is the bridge which took the railway over the creek. It is not strictly speaking the earliest part of the railway. The first section which opened was from London Bridge to Deptford in 1836 and it took another two years to get the line over the Creek and into Greenwich.

Although as we will see you could buy a ticket and get a train, but you had to walk over the Creek first.

In the late 1820s and early 1830s there were several schemes to get a railway down from London into Kent and to the channel ports, as well as shorter lines throughout the area. In Greenwich there was an increasing demand for transport up to the City and West End. Boat services were increasing and under heavy demand as were coaches and horse drawn transport on the Dover Road – from Shooters Hill and over Deptford Bridge. In an article a couple of weeks ago I wrote about how Creek Road Bridge and Creek

editorial@weekender.co.uk

Road were being built in order to provide another route from London to the Kent towns and the coast.

There were also plans for steam road vehicles as part of an expansion of routes to London by road – and also more frequent and better organised coach traffic. The Greenwich Railway was both complimenting and competing with all of these.

The London and Greenwich was promoted from 1831 and a committee had been set up to do this. One of the main drivers for the scheme and the Engineer who built it was an ex-Royal Engineer called George Landmann. I’ve written about him in Weekender before –but a brief recap won’t hurt. Landmann’s French father was an academic in the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich and George was born in 1777, brought up and educated on what we now know as the Arsenal site. He secured a commission in his late teens as a Royal Engineer and was posted to Canada. He was later in Gibraltar, was a battlefield Engineer under Wellington, and returned to senior posts in England. He resigned from the Engineers in 1821 – probably following a marital scandal – and www.weekender.co.uk

History A bridge was built over the canal and then others over the main roads which went under the railway. The quality of the brick work on these bridges and arches was amazing – go and look at it. On the bridges and viaduct the Greenwich line is the most easterly section. Most of the bridges are built on the skew and the brickwork is mainly still immaculate. That work is nearly 200 years old and on most days at least 8 heavy trains an hour have thundered along it for 18 hours or more a day – much, much larger and much, much faster traffic than anything envisaged when it was built.

Just go and look at the quality of it.

This isn’t the place to go into a lot of detail about the building of the Greenwich railway. If you want that detail you need the late Ron Thomas’s ‘London’s First Railway’ (Batsford 1972) which I have beside me as I write this. There are other books –one early one is by a Mr. Bennet who remembered playing in the arches as they stood on marshy fields when he was a lad. There were some unusual features – some of the arches were let out as houses and pubs but eventually settled down to house workshops and businesses. There was also a walk way – a ‘boulevard’ which went right down alongside the railway; much of that still remained when I began to explore the line in the mid-1980s;

set up as a civil engineer. He was clearly able to apply techniques he had learnt as a Royal Engineer – as for instance it might be thought that all those brick arches on the Greenwich line viaduct are very like those that his father taught to cadets at Woolwich learning how to design and build fortifications.

From 1834 the railway viaduct began to be built between London Bridge and Deptford. The contract was Mr. Mackintosh – almost certainly the same Mr. Mackintosh we have met earlier when he had the contract to stabilise the ground at the point at which the Creek meets the Thames on the Greenwich side and where the Phoenix Gas Works was built. But the railway was on a massive scale. They built the viaduct from the middle outwards beginning at what was called Corbett’s Lane –somewhere near where the Rotherhithe New Road is now. Barge loads of bricks came up from Sittingbourne and were delivered via the Surrey Canal – 100,000 bricks were laid every day and 400 men were employed to work on the line and to lay them.

A year after they started work 400 brick piers had been built, six months later there were 540 arches with two miles of track on it.

Ex-Royal Engineer, George Landmann

We need to look at the last stretch of the line as it crossed the Ravensbourne and ran into Greenwich. In June 1835 some experimental trains were run and the first ‘proper’ train ran from Deptford to Spa Road in February 1836. By then there was a timetable and about 700 people a day were travelling on the line. But they only had one working locomotive. In December the Lord Mayor of London officially opened the railway between Deptford and London Bridge. There were Beefeaters in uniform, there were bands from the Coldstream Guards, the Scots Guards, the Grenadier Guards and there were lots of speeches. But you still couldn’t get to Greenwich.

Or at least you sort of could. ….there were a lot of problems with getting the bridge over the Creek and I’ll talk about that next time, but once Deptford Station was opened temporary measures were set up to get Greenwich residents to use the railway.

The North Pole Tavern is still in Greenwich High Road and next to it, in 1836, was Rose Cottage – and that became a railway ticket office. The lane it was in was called Blue Stile.

Youi bought your ticket there and then went out of the back door and walked across the field and marsh ground to the Creek where there was a footbridge. I am a bit confused by this footbridge but I think it was a wooden bridge known as the Ha’penny Hatch – there is a recent replica of it alongside the railway now. I assume it was built by the railway company to get passengers from Greenwich over to Deptford but I don’t know that definitely.

At night there was only one candle in a lantern to light people over the fields to the bridge. Half way across the fields there was a pond – 50 feet wide and 3 ½ feet deep – and it was exactly where you would walk in a direct line over to the bridge and Deptford Station. There were records of at least a dozen people ending up in the pond rather than on a train.

The bridge was a toll bridge – hence ‘Ha’penny Hatch’ but you didn't have to pay if you had a railway ticket and you were given a white ticket at the booking office to let you over for free. These weren’t given out automatically and if you didn’t have one you would be sent back to the ticket office.

The same procedure of course took place on the reverse journey from Deptford to Greenwich.

This all closed in early 1837 when the viaduct was extended to Greenwich, but there still wasn’t a Greenwich Station.

More about this next time...

community trust At The Heart Of The Community

news from charlton athletic community trust

Young person “develops own confidence with new people”

Short Breaks is open to 13 to 17-year-olds in Greenwich and Bexley

A young person has become a volunteer on the Short Breaks holiday programme for 13 to 17-yearolds with disabilities and special educational needs after participating in the programme himself.

TE was introduced to Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) after he and his family were highlighted as needing support.

He was growing up with his grandparents, and was seen as likely to benefit socially and develop his confidence through the level of interaction which could be provided by Short Breaks, which CACT delivers on behalf of the Royal Borough of Greenwich.

At first, TE was very shy and unsure about taking part. After coming along a few times, TE began to develop a relationship with the staff and service users, growing in comfort. Activities and trips TE did included bowling, go-karting, and football stadium tours. These enabled him to develop social skills, engaging with

other people of a similar age.

He also took part in a two-night Short Breaks residential trip in Ashford, Kent, the first time he spent away from his grandparents.

He took the opportunity to become more independent and also develop leadership skills on the trip, helping other participants with the physical activities and spending time helping those struggling.

“I always enjoy myself when I go to Charlton Short Breaks. Everyone is friendly, and I like all the staff.

Some of the things I had done with Charlton I had never done before, so I was excited to go.

Staff saw an enormous change in his attitude, awareness of others, and willingness to take part in activities. The programme has helped him develop his confidence and self-esteem, and has made a positive impact on key life skills.

After four years as a Short Breaks participant, TE enquired about volunteering on the programme and has been offered a role doing so. This will help him continue to improve his communication skills, and will benefit other participants due to the relatability following his time on the programme.

TE’s grandmother said: “TE engaged in many activities and loved them all. He learned how to understand other young people’s needs while developing his own confidence with new people. You all welcomed him and us as friends, and we benefitted from it for a few hours break; knowing he was with people who cared for him”.

Steve Bannan, CACT’s Short Breaks Coordinator, said: “It was great to work with TE. TE is very helpful and always enjoyed himself on the day trips.”
