From photographs of Northern England in the early 1970s, to his renowned theatre and Samuel Beckett photography, to images of James Baldwin, and Paula Rego in her studio, this is a comprehensive exhibition of John Haynes’ work.
When Niloufar Bakhtiar Bakhtiari met Jane Haynes during a zoom bridge session in the Covid-19 lockdown, Niloufar mentioned a Samuel Beckett photograph she admired in Sloane Square restaurant Colbert. Jane revealed that the photograph was taken by her husband John… Years later, John Haynes and Niloufar Bakhtiar Bakhtiari collaborate to bring A Life Passing By to the history-rich exhibition space in Avenue Studios.
Niloufar strongly believes in the importance of memory and the way in which it moulds our identity, and this permeates John’s work. With small group gatherings, reminiscent of the literary salons of the past, the exhibition will offer something unusual in today’s art world — intimacy, discussion and a space for contemplation.
