Exhibition at Friends House

In Riverbanks of Grief Margot Schiemann applies her graphic skills to images that represent trauma, suffering and redemption. Through collage, pastel and paint she render these states with emotional intelligence through her highly relatable art making.  Told as a linear emotional story – repair and triumph are translatable to any human difficulty and predicament.’

 

Margot Schiemann’s work is testament to the healing nature of creativity, one of the most important functions of art’.

Jan Woolf - Writer and artist

Exhibition at Friends House, London

I have been invited by Friends House in London, Euston Road, to exhibit ‘Riverbanks of Grief’. The show starts at Yearly Meeting, an annual gathering of the Quaker community.

"In ‘Riverbank of Grief’ I explore predicaments of the human condition through artwork and writing. I am dealing with quandaries and opposing forces in illustrating a journey that can lead from darkness towards the light."

Margot Elke Schiemann is an artist, psychotherapist, and group analyst who divides her time between making art and her private practice.

In my exhibition, I explore what is known and less known about Hampstead. I particularly enjoy ambiguity and uncertainty in imagery which move between the known and the mysterious. 

This is evoked by mixed media and by bringing together different artistic approaches, such as photography, collage and drawing. 

Additionally, I am curious about the interplay of light and darkness, both in nature and human experience.

Visitors will be able to view the show:
Wednesday 5th June, Thursday 6th June, Friday 7th June and
Sunday 9th June: 10 am to 4 pm.
On Saturdays Burgh House is closed for private events, but the café is open to visitors who are able to view the exhibition when the house is closed.

 

Riverbanks of Grief - Art Book

Riverbanks of Grief is a tribute to the human spirit, and the dilemmas many of us can encounter.  I pose the question of how to respond when we experience devastation.

When we encounter the unexpected, perhaps with social and political dimensions, there is usually a complex interplay between forces in our internal world and the inevitable intrusions from the outside. In this artbook, ‘Riverbanks of Grief’ words and images speak to suffering, recovery and hope. 

I hope this will resonate with you.

Thoughts about Art

For many artists the making of art is a solitary activity; belonging to groups opens up new dimensions. We are alone and not alone. Individual creativity is inspired through authentic connection with oneself and in relationships with others. These can all lead to surprises and changes, in art and in life.
