A shared collection of photographs by Alistair Lark and abstract art created on computer by Meta Rocard.

Creating art on computer is Meta’s speciality.  She first became inspired in the 1990’s while attending various adult, summer art courses at the Wimbledon School of Art.

For me the ability to create imaginative illustrations and abstract images from drawings, paintings and photographs without binning materials allow me freedom of expression.

My exhibitions: ‘Digital Fantasies’ in 2014 followed by ‘Fun with Photos’ in 2017 featured at the cornerHOUSE. I contributed to many Kingston Arts Exhibitions until they ceased to operate.

Alistair Lark’s enthusiasm for cameras has produced an imaginative insight into what can be observed and achieved in photography. Previous exhibitions include ‘In Focus’ at the cornerHOUSE in 2015.

Adhocism, being the ‘theme’ of this exhibition, is really a celebration of the simplest process in photography.  Not becoming bogged down or embedded within the meticulous setting up of a scene, or lighting, or ‘waiting for the right moment’, but rather just capturing a moment, in the moment, when it felt right to do so. For no other reason than it ‘caught my eye’.  ‘The simplest of processes.’ The Ad-hoc, part being that there is no underlying theme, other than what the eye sees, and the mind appreciates.

Again, like my first exhibition here, these images are pretty much as they came out of the camera(s), bar one.  I hope you enjoy seeing what my eyes have already enjoyed and I hope they convey something to you and draw you in.  

Exhibition runs from 8^th June until July 2025. Meet the Artists night 17^th June 7pm – 9pm.
