Image: Nigel Gardner\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the 2023 Langford Arts Festival\n\n\n\nWith a record 65 artists set to be onboard\, the 2023 Langford Arts Festival will feature works from amateurs and professionals ranging from watercolour\, acrylic and oil paintings\, prints and photography to sculpture\, glass and pottery. \n\n\n\nThere will be something to suit any budget at the festival\, which takes place every two years – from works by sought-after artists for collectors through to pieces for people who just want to find something special for their homes. \n\n\n\nTo reflect its increased scale and scope\, this year’s festival is taking place in five key locations in Langford\, including St Matthew’s Church in Langford\, which dates back to the 11th Century and is the atmospheric setting where the bulk of the artists’ work will be displayed and sold.  \n\n\n\nVisitors are encouraged to see the art on show at the other locations in the village\, like the new sculpture garden\, and experience all that is on offer in Langford. And if you want to watch and try as well as buy\, there will be plenty of live art-based activities taking place in Langford during the festival.  \n\n\n\nLangford regularly attracts visitors from across the UK and abroad. It has a buoyant art-buying community on its doorstep\, so expect the two-day festival and pre-event private view to be well attended.  \n\n\n\nAnd with light lunches and afternoon teas served in the Arts Cafe in the village hall and The Pitstop serving breakfast butties at the free car park\, Langford Arts Festival will provide the perfect day out for families and serious art enthusiasts. \n\n\n\nThe event is the idea of Ginny Bushell\, who lives in Langford and is herself a keen amateur artist. It is run by a special committee and overseen by Langford’s Village Hall committee. \n\n\n\nEntry to the 2023 Langford Arts Festival is free\, but there is an optional catalogue for £2.00 each. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/langford-arts-festival/ LOCATION:St Matthew’s Church\, Langford\, Langford\, Witney\, Oxfordshire\, GL7 3LG CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/langford-arts-festival-2023-04-1920x1080-nigel-gardner-cropped.webp GEO:51.7206821;-1.6413632 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=St Matthew’s Church Langford Langford Witney Oxfordshire GL7 3LG;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Langford:geo:-1.6413632,51.7206821 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230609T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230627T235959 DTSTAMP:20260425T040515 CREATED:20230515T144559Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240307T053724Z UID:10004777-1686268800-1687910399@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Fountains and Flowers - New Works by Jessica Biggs DESCRIPTION:Fountains and Flowers – New Works by Jessica Biggs at Zuleika Gallery. Image: Jessica Biggs\, Meadow flowers\, 2023\, oil on linen\, 61 x 76 cm (cropped)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Fountains and Flowers – New Works by Jessica Biggs\n\n\n\n“The warmth of an English Summer’s day or the brightness of a bouquet of wild flowers\, when I paint\, I’m searching for luminosity and joy.” —Jessica Biggs\, 2023. \n\n\n\nZuleika Gallery is delighted to present Fountains & Flowers\, an inaugural solo exhibition of paintings by Jessica Biggs\, which opens in its Woodstock Gallery from 09 to 27 June 2023.  \n\n\n\nBringing together a new body of work completed over the past twelve months\, the summer exhibition will feature Biggs’ paintings of fountains set within the formal gardens of Blenheim Palace\, alongside her delicate floral still life paintings.  \n\n\n\nThe roots of Biggs’ artistic inspiration are with the carefully observed naturalism of the French landscape artists Eugène Boudin (1824-1898) and Camille Corot (1796-1875) and with the domestic interiors of Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) and the colourful still life paintings of Winifred Nicholson (1893-1981).  \n\n\n\nSpeaking about her choice of subject matter\, Biggs explains\, “I am irresistibly drawn to fountains\, with their cool rushing water set within a hot summer landscape. Blenheim Palace\, with its abundance of charming vistas and splendidly ornate gardens\, has been a joy to capture in paint.”  \n\n\n\nThe floral still life has been popular across movements\, cultures and periods\, and there is a timeless and effervescent quality to Biggs’ richly patterned paintings with contrasting colours and shapes\, which\, together\, create an effect of harmony. \n\n\n\nBiggs spends considerable time choosing and arranging the flowers before she puts paint on the canvas.  \n\n\n\nBiggs reveals\, “I choose the flowers for the harmony of their colours\, their dazzling ruffles of petals\, their velvet textures and halo-like shapes. I particularly like the graceful nature of wildflowers such as poppies\, cornflowers and echinacea and envisage them dancing brightly in their jugs and vases”.

Above all\, I always thought of it as a temple to love.”—Joana Vasconcelos \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe creation of the Wedding Cake\n\n\n\nPart sculpture\, part architectural garden folly\, the extraordinary structure is a celebration of love\, festivity and joy. Inspired by the exuberant Baroque buildings and decorative ceramic traditions of Lisbon\, where Vasconcelos lives and works. \n\n\n\nThousands of gleaming\, icing-like ceramic tiles glazed in pale pinks\, greens and blues decorate the cake\, all made in a traditional Portuguese manufactory. Further adorned with sculptural ornament and complete with the sounds of trickling water. \n\n\n\nWedding Cake is Vasconcelos’ most ambitious commission to date and a perfect complement to Waddesdon. \n\n\n\nThe vision and imagination exemplified in the piece mirror the passion which drove Baron Ferdinand\, the creator of Waddesdon\, to build the Manor and the Dairy\, where he intended that his many friends would be surprised and delighted at every turn. \n\n\n\nTraditionally-made ceramic tiles speak to the Manor’s world-renowned collection of Sèvres and Meissen porcelain. And the sumptuous decoration of the Wedding Cake reflects the architecture of the house\, itself covered in intricate finials and ornaments. \n\n\n\n\n\nJoana Vasconcelos\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVasconcelos’ Lafite at Waddesdon commissioned in 2015 by the Rothschild Foundation\n\n\n\n\n\nJoana Vasconcelos at Waddesdon\n\n\n\nVasconcelos’ Lafite\, two giant candlesticks made of illuminated Chateau Lafite Rothschild magnums\, commissioned in 2015 by the Rothschild Foundation\, stand in the Water Garden at the Dairy and celebrate the family associations to the world of great Bordeaux wine.  \n\n\n\nIn 2012\, her Pavilon de Thé\, a giant wrought-iron tea pot\, was the focal point of House of Cards\, a contemporary sculpture exhibition in the gardens\, and in 2016 her Cup Cake (2011) was exhibited on the North Front. \n\n\n\nAlong with the Wedding Cake\, these pieces showcase the defining characteristics of Vasconcelos’ practice. Her work is often playful\, manipulating scale to dramatic effect and using familiar daily objects in surprising\, charming and inventive ways. \n\n\n\nFind out more about Joana Vasconcelos \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketing information\n\n\n\nPrices:Adult tickets – £15.00Normal grounds admission appliesPre-booking recommended \n\n\n\nOpening hours:Tours run on Thursday 10.30am to 3.30pm and on selected Sundays from 10.30am to 1.30pm.

Each visit\, she returns to the same\, isolated point of the island where a grove of ancient\, gnarled olive trees is framed by the bright blue sea and sky\, to draw what she sees. Returning to her studio\, Goodman translates these drawings into collages and paintings. \n\n\n\nCatherine Goodman’s art is rooted in observational drawing. Through this daily act\, the artist examines and places her personal experience in an intense relationship with the natural environment. As a result\, her paintings are charged with colour and gesture to create deeply atmospheric and engaging experiences for the viewer. \n\n\n\n\n“These works are an exploration of the relationship I have formed with a piece of nature\, a landscape that I have got to know intimately over many years. When I visit the olive grove now\, I have the sense of the landscape knowing me as well as I know it. I sense the trees looking back at me as I look at them\, and my drawing is a silent dialogue between us.”—Catherine Goodman \n\n\n\n\nA highlight of the exhibition is surely the monumental\, seven-panelled Frieze which depicts a grove of ancient olive trees framed by the vivid blues of the sea and sky behind. It will be complemented by a triptych of a single tree captured through the day – morning\, midday and evening – as well as further paintings and a suite of powerful pastel drawings. \n\n\n\nOne of the inspirations for the paintings\, and particularly the seven-panelled Frieze\, is Ovid’s great poem\, Metamorphoses\, specifically the legend of the nymph Daphne\, extracts from which are hand-scribed by the artist on the wall above the paintings. The mythological imagery in this poem\, and Daphne’s transformation into a tree to escape Apollo’s pursuit\, is a recurring theme for the artist. \n\n\n\n\n“There can be few artists working today for whom landscape holds such an intense and personal connection as Catherine Goodman. In this work\, she creates extraordinary visual encounters with trees that become more characters – old friends – than natural forms…the work is complex\, layered\, powerful\, and thoughtful and invites close looking.”—Pippa Shirley\, Director of Waddesdon \n\n\n\n\nAbout Catherine Goodman \n\n\n\nCatherine Goodman (b. 1961) is an artist based in London\, working between her London studios and Somerset. She trained at London’s Camberwell School of Arts & Crafts and the Royal Academy Schools\, at which she won the Royal Academy Gold Medal in 1987. \n\n\n\nGoodman’s paintings are held in numerous private and public collections including the National Portrait Gallery\, the Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge and the Royal Collection Trust. \n\n\n\nCentral to her artistic process is the act of drawing from observation\, whether from life\, objects or the great masters and their works. Goodman sees her role as an educator as being integral to her artistic identity\, and in 2000\, she co-established the Royal Drawing School with HRH The Prince of Wales to address the increasing absence of observational drawing in art education. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketing information\n\n\n\nDates & times:10.00am to 4.00pm on Wednesdays to Sundays from 07 June to 29 October 2023 \n\n\n\nLocation: Coach House Gallery and the Drawings Room of Waddesdon Manor URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/catherine-goodman-do-you-remember-me/ LOCATION:Waddesdon Manor\, Aylesbury\, Waddesdon Manor\, Aylesbury\, Buckinghamshire\, HP18 0JH CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/do-you-remember-me-2021-©-catherine-goodman-1920x1080-cropped.webp GEO:51.8422698;-0.9375034 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Waddesdon Manor Aylesbury Waddesdon Manor Aylesbury Buckinghamshire HP18 0JH;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Waddesdon Manor:geo:-0.9375034,51.8422698 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230606T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230606T120000 DTSTAMP:20260425T040515 CREATED:20221201T012619Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240307T064700Z UID:10004483-1686045600-1686052800@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:St Andrew’s Oxford Baby & Toddler Group (Tuesdays) DESCRIPTION:St Andrew’s Oxford Baby & Toddler Group\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe St Andrew’s Baby & Toddler Group is a baby and toddler group that runs at St Andrew’s Church in North Oxford between 10.00am and noon on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. \n\n\n\nIt is a place to spend a fun morning with others in a relaxed and friendly environment with free play\, crafts\, snacks\, music and more.  \n\n\n\nThe group is open to mums\, dads\, carers\, nannies\, au pairs\, childminders and grandparents.

How their career moved through many phases\, including (but not limited to) art rock\, glam\, big band swing\, electro-disco\, new wave and synthpop\, taking in collaborations with Todd Rundgren\, Les Rita Mitsouko\, Tony Visconti Franz Ferdinand and Giorgio Moroder. \n\n\n\nHow keyboardist and songwriter Ron’s intricate staccato arrangements combine with the hysteria-pitch falsetto in which Russell delivers his brother’s always-on-point lyrics. How Ron’s stillness and stern\, intimidating visage contrasts onstage with Russell’s hyperactivity.  \n\n\n\nHow their popularity has spiked unpredictably in different territories at different times – Britain\, France\, Germany\, Scandinavia\, Japan\, and their homeland United States. And how the influence of “the greatest band you’ve never heard of” or “your favourite band’s favourite band” has been recognised by successive generations of artists from Joy Division to Duran Duran to Depeche Mode to Bjork to Beck to The Darkness and beyond. \n\n\n\nNow into their sixth decade of music making\, Sparks have never been more relevant. \n\n\n\nOnce more Top 10 regulars\, with studio albums Hippopotamus (2017) and A Steady Drip\, Drip\, Drip (2020) both reaching No.7 in the UK and receiving global acclaim\, the lauded career-spanning documentary film The Sparks Brothers\, directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun Of The Dead\, Hot Fuzz\, Baby Driver) and released in 2021\, brought an awareness of Sparks to parts they previously hadn’t reached. \n\n\n\nSparks’ 2021 film musical Annette\, directed by Leos Carax and starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard\, was showered with awards\, especially in France\, where Carax won Best Director at Cannes and where the film won three Lumières Awards and five César Awards\, including Best Original Music for Ron and Russell. Focus Features have recently announced the studio is developing X-Crucior\, a musical epic written by Ron and Russell. \n\n\n\nA new studio album is due in 2023. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketing information\n\n\n\nPrices: £40.72Tickets are subject to a transaction fee \n\n\n\nAge guidance:Under 16’s to be accompanied by an adult 21+No under 5’s \n\n\n\nDoors open: 7.00pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout New Theatre Oxford\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\nThere has been a theatre on George Street for almost 170 years.

The show\, with the definite feelgood factor\, will transport you back to that magical decade that was the 1960s.  \n\n\n\nWhether you come to relive your childhood memories or you just want to see what your parents have been raving about for all these years\, this is the show to see. These legends of the 60s will deliver a night never to be forgotten. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Sensational 60s Experience at New Theatre Oxford\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOZY BEAKY MICK & TICH. Originally called Dave Dee And The Bostons formed in 1961. Changing their name to Dave Dee\, Dozy Beaky Mick and Tich in 1964. In 1966 the band were on the charts for 50 weeks out of 52. Record sales in Germany in 1967 outsold The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. Hits include Bend It\, Zabadak\, The Legend Of Xanadu\, and many more. This fast-moving energetic set from DBMT will have you dancing and singing in the aisles\, performing hit after hit.  \n\n\n\nMIKE d’ABO was the only man who could fill Paul Jones’ shoes as frontman for Manfred Mann. Already attracting attention with his group\, A Band Of Angels\, Mike was thrust into a wider limelight with the Manfreds\, and the well-oiled hit machine kept rolling on. Just Like A Woman\, Semi-Detached Suburban Mr James and Mighty Quinn were just three of the string of hits with the ‘new boy’ in the line-up. And\, like his predecessor\, Mike’s career after the disbanding of the Manfreds in 1969 lost none of its momentum. He’d already proved his impressive songwriting skill by composing Build Me Up Buttercup for The Foundations and Handbags & Gladrags\, a massive hit for Chris Farlowe. \n\n\n\nTHE FORTUNES. Hailing from Birmingham\, England\, the band first came into prominence in 1964 with their hit single Caroline\, which was used as the signature tune for the influential Pirate Radio Station of the same name. Other classics include Storm In A Teacup\, You’ve Got Your Troubles\, Freedom Come Freedom Go. The Fortunes continue to tour the world with shows in Australia\, New Zealand and The USA\, incorporating a week-long residency in fabulous Las Vegas. \n\n\n\nTHE SWINGING BLUE JEANS. The SBJ have a history that spans back to the early 1960s. Over the years\, their hit singles Hippy Hippy Shake\, You’re No Good\, Good Golly Miss Molly and Don’t Make Me Over have been the bedrock of the band’s memorable live performances. The Swinging Blue Jeans have been led by Alan Lovell\, faithfully carrying on the band’s long tradition. Peter Oakman continues with the band to this day\, along with Jeff Bannister and Graham Hollingworth\, who complete the line-up. \n\n\n\nVANITY FARE. Formed in 1966 (often misspelt Vanity Fair\, due to the similarity of the novel and magazine title) is a British pop/rock group famously known for such hits as\, I Live For The Sun\, Early In The Morning and the worldwide classic\, Hitchin A Ride which scored the band a number one on the Billboard 100 in the USA. The harmonies of Vanity Fare are renowned throughout the sixties scene\, which makes them one of the best vocal groups still touring today. \n\n\n\nStep back in time to when pop music was at its very best. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important ticketing information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketing information\n\n\n\nPrices: From £29.75Tickets are subject to a transaction fee \n\n\n\nDuration: 3 hours\, including an interval. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout New Theatre Oxford\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\nThere has been a theatre on George Street for almost 170 years.
