Hobden Exhibition

Georgia, Georgia

7th – 17th October 2025
Lincoln Central Library

Hobden (aka Dave Kenyon) is having his 7th annual exhibition of photographs, opening on Tuesday the 7th of October in the Lincoln Library. It ends on the 17th. Access is the usual library opening times.

Georgia, Georgia exhibition poster by Hobden (Dave Kenyon)“The main exhibition is called ‘Georgia, Georgia’ and is inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe. Or at least by an American feminist’s review of an exhibition of her flower paintings I read when I was a photography student. I had come across her name as the partner/wife of Alfred Stieglitz -who at the time was probably the most famous Art-photographer in the world. Recently I’ve seen her ‘Modernist’ New York cityscapes which take similar subject matter to Stieglitz’s “Flat Iron Building” etc. Of course, O’Keeffe left Stieglitz and became arguably more famous as an ‘independent woman artist’ in New Mexico. At the time of the 1970’s review, her famed love of women was being read into her flower images. I wasn’t convinced at the time, but I was left with a mild itch to try looking at my surroundings with O’Keeffe’s supposed attitude. As a result. I’ve put up 20 images in vertical letterbox format.”

“Also shown is a diptych of self portraits called ‘The Work Art Does in the Age of Digital Reproduction’. Many will know the famous essay by Walter Benjamin that the title evokes. One half of the pair is shot with a freebie web-camera which used ‘AI’ to fill in the missing visual information provided by the poor camera. It does this in quite a ‘painterly’ manner. For my part, I am unshaven and wearing a hoodie. The other is a much more ‘photographic’ quality depiction of me dressed much less casually. Each individual image is titled ‘Gilded Stool 1 & 2′”

“There is a third section of some 14 images that were ‘lost’ from an earlier exhibition of window images. All shot in one day uphill in Lincoln.”

Glynne James Exhibition

Glynne James
Carre Gallery
Carre Street
Sleaford
2nd – 14th September 2025
10am – 4pm

This is Glynne’s 11th Solo show at the Carre Gallery. His work depicts the Landscape of the Fens and beyond, in a style that is temporal in nature showing the changes that effect us all, both in the weather, the crops and even the structures in the landscape. All his paintings are from his mind but invariably include elements of the Fens, whether that’s with windfarms. modern straw and gas power stations or old familiar landmarks like Boston Stump or Lincoln Cathedral.
