"Awaking in the morning to discover the bed as a landscape. The stripes of the sheets act as ploughed fields receding in size and saturation as they edge away into a mountainous range, with the rising sun of the alarm clock measuring space and time. The coffee cup - a lake brimming with life, awakening the senses, bringing with it escapism and serenity. Inspired by Chinese scroll paintings in the breakdown of basic elements of mountain, a water source and sky, the composition emphasises the vastness and beauty of nature, with this perfect start to the day." Fleur Yearsley
For 2023-24, we commissioned a series of works from Manchester based Fleur Yearsley. For this dreamy coffee, we have an oil on canvas, Lake, Mountains and Sky.
"The subject matter of my paintings is the fruit of personal memories, often imbued with a sense of shared pop culture imagery. The symbols and objects of my work become a focal point for broad collective experiences instilled with mortality. They are captured moments of our past life - memories of what makes us who we are."
Supporting the arts through industry was a founding principle of Hundred House Coffee. Weaving in the non-profit to our day-to-day activities is something that came instinctively and to which we are committed. Gather is a creative, cultural and multi-use space in the unit next to our roastery.
