Curated by Andreas Leventis, formerly Director of Alison Jacques Gallery in London, ‘Creatures’ is an exhibition that presents the work of children alongside the work of well know artists; as well as Hewetson, other exhibiting artists are Marcel Dzama, whose work in the Tate collection, Tessa Farmer, Sam Griffin, John Jobson and Larry Elliott.

The show is pursuing a path that has been a source of intrigue for artists for some time. Picasso remarked that one of his ambitions as an artist was to relearn how he drew as a child. This theme has continued into contemporary practice in the works of artists such as Martin Maloney and David Hockney. 

Hewetson has offered a piece from her current series for the show. Works of this type are painted on to a matt black surface and, by introducing simple bars of colour, the artist achieves an intriguing sense of depth and three dimensionality. The effect is like staring into a curiously reversed light box. Examples can be seen on the artist's page on this website. While the bulk of this new body of works are abstract compositions, the work on show at the ‘Creatures’ exhibition is one of her rare works in which she seems to capture a grouping of human forms. This apparently naive series of marks, like coloured marker pens on a blackboard, connect her work to the loosely interpreted central theme of the exhibition.
