Lottie Cole's latest collection of paintings celebrates the places most familiar to her.
Having lived and worked in Westminster for over a decade, she revels in the architectural diversity of the area, especially the sense of buildings developing over time, accruing their own different styles and characters.
For the last seven years she has worked as Development and Communications Director at the London Library, in St James's Square, whose labyrinthine bookstacks and winding staircases hold a particular fascination.
Walking through the well-known streets of the capital, she responds to the feelings invested in the buildings as they change through the day: twilight is a favourite time, when the streets take on an unfamiliar character.
Alongside this theme, the exhibition includes Cole's paintings of Sussex, where Cole's roots are and where she grew up.
Painting the seaside villages of the Sussex coast this summer, she has revisited the scenes of holidays long past, while many of the inland country scenes are places she has known and loved for years.
The paintings are a combination of accumulated images and keen observation.

Andrews of Arcadia news piece

Lifeboat!

An exhibition in Arcadia that I'm particularly looking forward to this week is at Cricket Fine Art, 2 Park Walk, London, temporary home for the Moncrieff-Bray Gallery (www.moncrieff-bray.com) where until Saturday they are showing paintings by the artist Lottie Cole in 'A London Life and a Sussex Summer.'  The one shown here is called 'Selsey Life Boat'.  I hope to be preparing for the viewing by combining both aspects at the Royal Oak Public House on Tabbard Street, the London home of that famous Sussex export, Harvey's Ale, where on occasion it has been necessary to hail a lifeboat in order to get home.
