    Gosh – there are some amazing young Oxfordshire artists emerging at the moment. I say this having just visited a new exhibition space at the Jam Factory, in Park End Street. Eleven is the first exhibition curated by Oxford-based Creative Collective and is showcasing work by 11 up-and-coming artists from across the county. Photographer Rishi Mullett-Sadones (right), who has helped organise the exhibition, says that the newly-established Boiler Room in the Jam Factory is a superb place to stage exhibitions like this. On entering the room, most visitors are immediately drawn to a large canvas entitled Children, by James Lomax, who has already been noticed by Saatchi when he was a finalist for the Sunday Telegraph International Young Artist Award. He was inspired to create this piece showing four simple shapes and one lone aircraft, set against a white landscape, when as a child on 9/11 he overheard the words “pentagon, plane and bomb” coming from a classroom and assumed it was a mental arithmetic tape. He says those words seemed so hauntingly innocent at the time – hence his picture, which gives an adult take on a childhood memory. Rachel Hardwich is aiming to become a fashion illustrator. The main picture she is displaying shows her beautiful sister Elle and explores the use of pattern on fabric. It’s a stunning work, which certainly shows off her design skills. A highly-detailed pencil study of a tortoise and two birds is Lara Hawthorne’s work. She is an artist who finds great satisfaction in observing nature at close quarters. The black-and white-photographs that Rishi is showing were taken on the London Underground system. His aim is to show that it is possible to bring strangers together for one brief, intimate, yet unique moment. This splendid exhibition continues until February 21 and is well worth a visit if you are in the area. It represents the future and, as far as these young students are concerned, the future is positive.

    Move over Baz Lurhmann; the original master of romance has returned . . . Long before audiences were swooning over Moulin Rouge there was Puccini’s La bohème – the sweeping operatic tale of the doomed love of a consumptive seamstress and a poet, played out in the studios, streets and cafes of 19th-century Paris. With a cast of supporting bohemian characters as colourful as Puccini’s orchestration, the result is a romance that is operatic in the truest and most satisfying sense, where heightened emotions can only have complete and logical expression in the equally heightened dramatic medium of song.
