About the artist
"Our perception of the visual world suggests that it is full of ambiguities. Within ourselves and from one to another, descriptions of what we see create a rich variety of interpretations of both the meaning and content of a visual experience. If we overlay this experience with imagination, the potential for creative interpretation is vast.nMy interest, through the medium of drawing, painting and photography, is to communicate a personal reaction to the visual world which invites the viewer to accept, alter or complete the apparent narrative. As the producer of the work I have no monopoly over its meaning. By creative use of a visual language I hope to suggest a range of possibilities."

About the artist
“Eight years of extensive travel in my career inspired a series of large abstract paintings which drew inspiration from the diverse landscapes and cultures I encountered. Now at home with my young children I have returned to painting and found that my inspiration has become more home grown. nnMy paintings are quirky, naive and fun. They relate to everyone's inner self, an escape from the everyday into an imaginary world of whimsy, colour and make believe."

"Crouching Man (Protection)" by Stephen Wassall

THIS WORK IS PYROGRAPHY. The image is first drawn onto a wood panel with graphite and then burned into the wood using a specialist heated stylus. This work is enclosed in a deep box black stained wood hand built frame with conservation museum grade glass.nFRAMED SIZE 76x61cm

Dimensions: 60x45cm/24x18ins
Product type: Painting
Medium: Pyrography on Plywood Panel
Quantity: Original work

About the artist
“I am a self-taught artist and have obsessively drawn images from a young age. These images took the place of the written word in my diary and I thought, at that time, that they would obscure my emotions from prying eyes. I create images that often depict people, love, paranoia, agoraphobia, obsessiveness, friendship; the complex psychological drives of human nature of which we may often be unaware - or a times only too aware. It was only later that I realised that I had in fact intuited the truth that, for me, images depict such abstract concepts more satisfactorily than words. nnPyrography is the art of burning into a natural surface, using one temperature or variable temperature wood burning tools or by using a naked flame. The control of the depth and thickness of the burned line determine the tonal depths. A brilliant range of natural tones from black brown and chocolate shades to sepia are achievable. Preparing the surface of the wood and the particular wood chosen are of huge importance influencing the quality of the image. As no two pieces of wood are the same so the challenges in creating Fine Art Pyrograph are infinite, but precision, patience and a delicate/robust hand are always necessary.nnThe discovery of pyrography was a revelation that satisfied my desire for an unusual method of enhancing my imagery which had otherwise been confined to paper. I like the intensity of the whole process, the rawness of the wood, the barbaric act of setting fire to such a natural, beautiful material, counterweighed by human control, skill and imagination.”

Product type: Painting
Medium: Oil on canvas
Quantity: Original work

About the artist
“My work intends to capture unseen moments, often of fragility and vulnerability, through a distinctive use of colour, composition and mark-making. I encourage a juxtaposition between a public gaze which incorporates elements of fashion photography, and a private intimate one which displays imperfections and anxiety.nnThe painting process attempts to create a discourse with the viewer using a contrast between the controlled and uncontrolled, the organised and the instinctual application of paint. The large scale of my paintings demands that attention be given to the people, mundane moments and glimpses that could have remained unseen.” nn

About the artist
“My skies are a study of vast natural transience, showing the immense diversity in cloud formation, colour and texture that can occur over one single skyline. nnI am influenced by Impressionism and its depiction of nature, but the immediacy of photography gives my work a more contemporary form. The narrow field of vision and use of light, focus and contrast in the current series of work emulates digital photography and allows me to place absolute emphasis on the sky itself when I feel its ever-changing beauty surpasses that of the stationary world beneath.nnIn my new 'Lamp-life' works I aim to express the eerie beauty of suburban night scenes lit by the glow of sodium street-lamps. Using coloured chalks and charcoal I capture these apparently ordinary suburban landscapes at the bizarre moment at which nature and artificiality converge, to produce the very distinct atmosphere of a suburban night. I think of these drawings as 'light-portraits' as, although I do not show the direct source of the glow, each image is structured around the semi-visible presence of the lamp itself."

About the artist
Jeremy Dickinson’s new work continues to focus on his passion for transportation, whether it is the small paintings of toy buses in miniature junkyards, or larger scale works where whole collections of vehicles are sorted into groups according to, for example, country of origin or colour. Meticulously painted, they lovingly depict their subject matter with a collector’s obsessive gaze. Many of the vehicles are his from childhood, these being identifiable by a painted green ‘J’ on their underside. Others have come to his collection later, but these also show much evidence of play – their anonymous history is an important part of the reason for their inclusion. Other objects often appear with the vehicles, taking on the role of makeshift street furniture. Souvenirs from family holidays, old toy building blocks and scenic accessories from Dickinson’s long dismantled model railway layout are all used. For some years, he has also been working on the ‘Civic Pride’ series of paintings, which depict British city buses. The sources for the these paintings are photographs taken by unknown bus enthusiasts, bought at rallies and flea markets around the country.

Quantity: Original work

About the artist
“Inspired from an early age by the masters of Impressionism I have developed a style of painting that allows me to express my subject without oppressing the viewer. The reaction of the public to my work is crucial to me as I am intrigued about the individual’s response and this then informs and evolves my style of abstraction.nnThe majority of my paintings are landscape inspired. I work from either my photographic records or from memory, applying layers of colour to express objects, movement and light. My method is very time consuming and it takes many months to complete a painting because of the multiple layers of oil paint applied to each work. Titles are also very important particularly when abstracting work; the title can be the only thing that links the artist to the viewer and my titles only hint at the subject matter of the painting, giving the viewer the freedom to come to their own understanding.”

About the artist
As a musician as well as an artist, I am aware of the correspondences and contradictions that exist between music and painting. My work is inspired by the freedoms possible in both, and the colours and forms of music frequently inform my work. Using images based on still life and landscape, I respond subconsciously to moods linked to my experiences. I believe that one must be sensitive to the often subtle emotions and insights derived from the visual patterns and colours observed, and this applies equally to the interpretation of music. I refer to the words of Kandinksky, "Painting cannot be explained, one can only help towards its understanding." Abstract relationships between line and colour play a part in every painting. The start of my paintings is nearly always figurative, but in the process becomes more abstract as line and colour dominate. I start without knowing what the finished result will be, a mysterious journey, the destination unknown until the work is finished."nn

About the artist
"My paintings are concerned with erosion. Memory and our ability to recall thoughts from the past enrich and inform our existence. Our recollections, although vivid, can also be inaccurate. Time will erode both one's memory and the place remembered.nMy subject is usually found where erosion has a strong effect. I often use photography as a departure point and in subsequent drawings and preliminary paintings begin to explore my emotions and remembrances of the place, which I try to encapsulate in the final painting.nExploiting the effects of paint and the visual interplay between abstraction and realism forms the core to my work. Recycled canvases also play their part. Re-priming over the top of an existing work leaves marks and shapes which will take up paint and can often be incorporated into the new work. Capitalising on these 'accidents' often alters the thrust of a piece and moves it in an unexpected direction. Mud, sand and detritus from the physical landscape can also find their way into the work and contribute to surface texture".

About the artist
'In my art I am trying to depict the variety of character and appearance in people which amazes me. I am astonished how people act and express themselves in different circumstances and situations. Human nature is so deep; that is why it can never be defined, why it is so interesting and fragile. There is a strong connection between humour and sadness. Life is curious.'

About the artist
"We work together on the same canvas. The paintings can be described as representational in that we start with an idea of a real place or event, usually based on some where we’ve been or something that happened - travel features a lot as the colours and images are stronger and more memorable. We’ll decide what we want to paint and draw out rough ideas on the canvas together, then start painting it. Usually one will paint for a while and then the other will take over. There usually comes a point where the painting kind of takes on a life of its own.nnIt usually involves a lot of over painting and adjustment and the good thing about working together is it stops you from getting too stale or too precious about the work. We always use acrylic paint for the same reason - it dries fast and allows a lot of manipulation and re-painting. The most successful pieces end up as more a representation of feeling rather than of specific place. We consider it finished when the balance feels right and the colour works. The idea is to leave the viewer to interpret to a certain degree what they are looking at and leave space for their ideas to give meaning to the painting."

About the artist
As a musician as well as an artist, I am aware of the correspondences and contradictions that exist between music and painting. My work is inspired by the freedoms possible in both, and the colours and forms of music frequently inform my work. Using images based on still life and landscape, I respond subconsciously to moods linked to my experiences. I believe that one must be sensitive to the often subtle emotions and insights derived from the visual patterns and colours observed, and this applies equally to the interpretation of music. I refer to the words of Kandinksky, "Painting cannot be explained, one can only help towards its understanding." Abstract relationships between line and colour play a part in every painting. The start of my paintings is nearly always figurative, but in the process becomes more abstract as line and colour dominate. I start without knowing what the finished result will be, a mysterious journey, the destination unknown until the work is finished."nn

"My work is mainly still lifes of objects which are related to each other. The objects are represented, as they would be found in real life, in an evidence-like style. In my paintings they are like small, lifeless witnesses of what has been or has happened. The objects I tend to select are participants in the action. nnMy work is categorised by a very academic technical style. The composition of the work, the chosen colours, the positioning of an object at the very centre of the canvas and the very clean background give the chosen object a real sense of importance. nnThe focus in my painting is only on one point of the canvas, leaving the rest of the composition blurred. An important part of my work is the observation of these objects in space through the lens of the camera, which tends to mimic the human eye. I am attempting to achieve the same result in my painting, nnI think that objects can talk about life. By including some personal items you can create a narrative about the person who was in the scene; you can guess what he/she was doing, and something about their personality.nnMy new work concentrates on nature and the simple sensuality of plants and fruits."nn

About the artistnLi Chevalier is one of the emerging contemporary Chinese artists working at the crossroad of West and East. Li has staged more than 35 solo and group exhibitions across Europe, the Middle East and the Far East during the last 10 years. Her works have been shortlisted by some major French Art Salons including the Salon of the prestigious French National Fine Arts Society. Her work has been exhibited at the new gallery of the Louvre Museum in Paris and is among the shortlisted artists for the Celeste Art Prize and the Mercury Prize.nnLi's artistic roots originate from her Chinese heritage but also draw upon her exploration of European culture. She works in ink and wash on canvas, successfully uniting Chinese and European aesthetics. In empathy with the spirit of the Experimental Ink and Wash movement, a new Chinese art form, Li's works are focused on preserving the force of the traditional medium of Chinese ink. Through her use of ink, she creates a rhythmic balance between brightness and darkness; density and lightness; texture and shade. The brush strokes give her paintings rhythm and beauty depicting the outward and inner qualities of the subject.

About the artist
"Scotland has been a constant focus of interest to me and I have researched numerous areas around its coastline. The areas are so changeable in their moods and its unlimited source of subject matter will always lure me to return. I have tried to reflect the remoteness of the coastal areas but also the endearing quality of tranquillity. nWhen painting my landscape views I have found a more simplified approach to treating the subject matter looking at the broad areas of colour which represent the changing mood of the scenery. The introduction of materials also within my painting has given me a new vigour towards the work. I am beginning to focus on the relationship of how colour mood and movement all combine to encapsulate an atmospheric effect.nnRather than translating a view pictorially I am keen to represent the relationship between the land and the sea. I am looking more closely at the rhythms of the sea and its influences on the coast and shoreline. Smaller close up views can be rendered in a larger scale and I am fascinated by how nature can continually change and affect the landscape.nnLast year I was fortunate enough to travel to China and have found a new source of inspiration. I am currently working on views where I recorded images of carp found in ponds situated in the grounds of Chinese temples and public gardens. Initially I was drawn into the colour and movement of the fish similar to the way I have been treating my coastal landscape themes. During my research of the significance of carp within Chinese culture I have discovered the importance held by Chinese to different living species.nnThe treatment of my Chinese paintings is different in that I am looking more closely at the figurative aspects of the fish. However I am still incorporating the previous techniques applied to create movement and atmosphere within the painting. I am also reflecting the significance of themes which are associated with Chinese culture. The carp is a symbol of hard work where people can change their circumstances through endeavour. It is a strong visual analogy with the fish swimming in large numbers throughout the pond. The colour and movement are visually stimulating to me and I am developing similar themes within my work. nnIt is my hope that the spectator can experience the same moods and feelings that I endeavour to capture when I translate the subject matter I paint. It is very rewarding for me to hear that people who have purchased my work find something different to see within my paintings every day."n

About the artist
"Scotland has been a constant focus of interest to me and I have researched numerous areas around its coastline. The areas are so changeable in their moods and its unlimited source of subject matter will always lure me to return. I have tried to reflect the remoteness of the coastal areas but also the endearing quality of tranquillity. nWhen painting my landscape views I have found a more simplified approach to treating the subject matter looking at the broad areas of colour which represent the changing mood of the scenery. The introduction of materials also within my painting has given me a new vigour towards the work. I am beginning to focus on the relationship of how colour mood and movement all combine to encapsulate an atmospheric effect.nnRather than translating a view pictorially I am keen to represent the relationship between the land and the sea. I am looking more closely at the rhythms of the sea and its influences on the coast and shoreline. Smaller close up views can be rendered in a larger scale and I am fascinated by how nature can continually change and affect the landscape.nnLast year I was fortunate enough to travel to China and have found a new source of inspiration. I am currently working on views where I recorded images of carp found in ponds situated in the grounds of Chinese temples and public gardens. Initially I was drawn into the colour and movement of the fish similar to the way I have been treating my coastal landscape themes. During my research of the significance of carp within Chinese culture I have discovered the importance held by Chinese to different living species.nnThe treatment of my Chinese paintings is different in that I am looking more closely at the figurative aspects of the fish. However I am still incorporating the previous techniques applied to create movement and atmosphere within the painting. I am also reflecting the significance of themes which are associated with Chinese culture. The carp is a symbol of hard work where people can change their circumstances through endeavour. It is a strong visual analogy with the fish swimming in large numbers throughout the pond. The colour and movement are visually stimulating to me and I am developing similar themes within my work. nnIt is my hope that the spectator can experience the same moods and feelings that I endeavour to capture when I translate the subject matter I paint. It is very rewarding for me to hear that people who have purchased my work find something different to see within my paintings every day."n

About the artist
“My work is inspired by organic structures, detail, fragility and pattern, through which I look at themes such as memory and identity. My working method involves the organisation of many small pieces into a complex but delicate entirety.nnThe artwork spreads across an expanse of clear resin encapsulating drawings and personal statements that define us. The work aims to connect with the viewer by being striking from a distance but intricately detailed on closer examination, revealing the daily highs and lows of life. We become aware of the text only when close to the surfaces; the artwork is revealing to us a secret...viewers often recognise aspects of themselves in the work".nn

About the artist
Christopher Wynford Etherington Johnson studied at the Chelsea School of Art in the early 1970’s. He is a psychologist and specialises in the field of Energy Psychology and past life regression. nnAlthough he has always kept his hand in over the years with water colour work and drawing, he felt a compulsion to return to oils in his newly inspired artistic endeavour. Paul Cezanne's work and approach were always a fascination in the past with Chris and he has adopted Cezanne's methodology if not his style. Fundamental concepts that Cezanne attempted to portray and explore were the use of colour, the use of 'space' on the canvas, the principle of implied movement, the generation of an emotional or sensory awareness, and the stimulation of the viewer's sense of time being in captured. nnAlthough Chris's paintings could be regarded superficially as landscapes each canvas also hints at an untold story - a psychological drama.

"Scotland has been a constant focus of interest to me and I have researched numerous areas around its coastline.

I am beginning to focus on the relationship of how colour mood and movement all combine to encapsulate an atmospheric effect.nnRather than translating a view pictorially I am keen to represent the relationship between the land and the sea.

Smaller close up views can be rendered in a larger scale and I am fascinated by how nature can continually change and affect the landscape.nnLast year I was fortunate enough to travel to China and have found a new source of inspiration. I am currently working on views where I recorded images of carp found in ponds situated in the grounds of Chinese temples and public gardens. Initially I was drawn into the colour and movement of the fish similar to the way I have been treating my coastal landscape themes.

I am also reflecting the significance of themes which are associated with Chinese culture. The carp is a symbol of hard work where people can change their circumstances through endeavour. It is a strong visual analogy with the fish swimming in large numbers throughout the pond.

About the artist
The social studies I produce are lens based, taking images from amongst cityscapes. I use a multiple intersection of architecture, traces of human interaction, traffic, signs, street furniture, text, repeating forms and any components within the city to construct my images. I extract the rhythm of the scene, allowing the viewer to engage with and expose the geographies we inhabit within contemporary existence and experience the frantic turbulence of city life.nnThe images are visually powerful photoholographic realities, where gravity is not always visible and architecture can appear impossible, building a new space which has become submerged in everyday presence.nnALL IMAGES LIMITED EDITIONS OF 10 - PLEASE CHECK FOR AVAILABILITY

About the artist
“Images of beaches have a universal appeal with many similarities apparent in beach shots from around the globe. The geographical processes of wind, water and erosion that form the landscapes occur over many years and despite their geographical distance these beachscapes have a common topography. nnWhen we look at these landscapes we can sense and understand the essential processes which both unite and differentiate them. Looking at these defining features I highlight key essential motifs, selecting specific sections to give added depth which both reflects their romantic aspect and accentuates the geological forces from which they were formed. Thus wide vistas of land, sea and sky are interrupted to suggest the underlying folding and fracturing forces”.

About the artist
"My stitched art and illustration combines the exciting and intricate medium of machine embroidery with my love for drawing. I create figurative and fun illustrations, which derive from my continual observation of people and situations that are both real and imaginary. nnThe quirky and speedy nature of the machine needle enables me to draw as if with a fixed pen, sometimes slowing down to create thick nobbly lines or speeding up and moving the canvas so fast that the thread breaks and wilder thinner lines are formed thus creating movement within the piece. nnHaving worked on a Bernina for many hours and drawing regularly I have learnt to control the machine and draw directly onto the canvas creating figures which I then paint or appliqué to create flat areas of colour. I then embroider the shapes within the drawings using tiny freestyle patterns, moving the machine in an almost rhythmic repetitive motion, so forming blocks of texture, and colourful mixes of thread and intricate patterns. The spontaneity and simplicity of the stitched black outline compliments the repetitive, more controlled and colourful stitches decorating the figures clothes, shoes, bags etc. The ordinary is transformed into the extraordinary. nnThe original and rich nature of the free machine embroidery illustrates beautifully the absolute individuality of people and I hope to encourage a positive yet sensitive outlook on life through my work. And most of all make people laugh!"

Fundamental concepts that Cezanne attempted to portray and explore were the use of colour, the use of 'space' on the canvas, the principle of implied movement, the generation of an emotional or sensory awareness, and the stimulation of the viewer's sense of time being in captured. nnAlthough Chris's paintings could be regarded superficially as landscapes each canvas also hints at an untold story - a psychological drama.

About the artist
"My paintings are studies of nature. Inspired by its ordered chaos and omnipotent self-symmetry, I work with satellite photography, geological structures, biological forms and microscopic imagery to create the paintings. I always try to let the nature of the paint guide me as I work and try not to touch the canvas too often. This exploits the infinite intricacies of the paint which are impossible to reproduce by hand"

About the artist
"As a born-again Christian I am convinced of the importance of the individual, and a personal relationship with God. I therefore do not idealise or flatter my subjects, but portray them as they are; as individuals. I do not wish to distance the viewer by perceived gaps in wealth, social status, or intellect, but rather to engage with the subject on an immediately communicative and intimate level.nnWhen a person's eyes are directed away from you, as is the case in many of my works, that person appears to be locked away from the outside world, lost in their own thoughts and experience. They are then the passive recipients of the viewer's gaze, consciously or unconsciously. The moment their gaze is lifted however, and is directed outwards towards the viewer, it is no longer them that is being studied, but the viewer. They are aware of your presence, and engage with you as you do with them"

nn“During the last 20 years I have created professional artworks in just about every conceivable medium from gouache to oils, from pastels to airbrush. I have produced artworks for a myriad of industries. It wasn't until the birth of my daughter that the true artist within me began to emerge.nnAs my style and technique have evolved I have formed a very close and strong friendship with possibly the world's greatest photographer of the female form - Gabriele Rigon. He has become my foil for fencing ideas and our conversations produce hundreds more. I now paint, almost exclusively, the world's most beautiful women. Painting finer and infinitely more intricate details I have found myself moving ever closer to the school of "photo-realism", where the dramatic impact and scale of my earlier "pop-art" work is much less important to me than the beautiful presentation of subtle - almost esoteric concepts of form, sensuality and passion”.n

About the artist
"My interest in photographs started many years ago when I began studying the unique documentation quality each one possesses. This lead to my fascination with photographs from different eras, how they speak to the viewer so vividly and in so much depth. During this time I looked at photo realism, developing ways in which to interpret photographs and in doing so change their value to objects of art.nnAs I experimented I found increasing meaning in individual and group portraits. These portrait paintings are taken directly from photgraphs and continue to contain the documentation quality of photographs, along with the new qualities of a painting. I constructed and produced a number of these portraits in a way that made it possible to document and represent an individual's identitiy. The process by which the identity is constructed is enthralling; the choice of billions of factors and experiences, people and beliefs that shape who we are. nnThe only style of painting I have embraced seriously in my work is realism. The challenge I face every time I paint a portrait is to create a painting which looks as close to the photograph as possible, whether the observer is standing five inches or five feet away".

“Images of beaches have a universal appeal with many similarities apparent in beach shots from around the globe. The geographical processes of wind, water and erosion that form the landscapes occur over many years and despite their geographical distance these beachscapes have a common topography. nnWhen we look at these landscapes we can sense and understand the essential processes which both unite and differentiate them. Looking at these defining features I highlight key essential motifs, selecting specific sections to give added depth which both reflects their romantic aspect and accentuates the geological forces from which they were formed. Thus wide vistas of land, sea and sky are interrupted to suggest the underlying folding and fracturing forces”.

About the artist
‘My work seeks to capture the awe of nature in the midst of a man made world - like when one’s attention is suddenly caught by a beautiful sky as you go about your normal, everyday business. With this as my goal, I have developed a series of paintings which comprise largely of dramatic skies, contrasted with a small segment of silhouetted man-made subject matter in the foreground. This ‘interference’ is effective in emphasising the beauty of the natural sky.nnInfluenced by the sky paintings of James Morrison, Steven Graber and John Schueler, these “awescape” paintings are in essence representational, yet compositionally they veer towards abstraction and so link the two modes of painting together. nnMusic also plays a significant role in my work as an artist. “The Gift from above” is a sound piece I composed on the piano earlier this year to accompany the viewing of my degree show 2004 where these paintings had their first exhibition. Made as a response and a reflection upon the natural world, this piece of music proved to have a profound complementary effect on the overall viewing of the art work and helped realise my goal. I believe this fusion of my art with my music has the potential to communicate to the viewer the feeling of awe directly - and I am confident this will develop further. nnI am a committed Christian and it is my hope that the work I create may cause you to pause and wonder at the awesome creation that is around us, every moment of our lives.”

About the artist
“In 2000 I relocated from London to Cornwall and returned to my roots as a fine art photographer. Inspired by Edward Weston, Joseph Koudelka, Cartier-Bresson and Andre Kertesz, my work is a blend of strong tonal contrasts and unusual viewpoints which create surprising shapes and spaces. Details are emphasised into lives of their own, scenes empty of all but the forms created by light, texture and shadow. I draw attention to the amount of textural variety there is in the world around us. And last, but by no means least, what quiet humour there is for those who take the time to look.nnThrough my photography I attempt to open the viewer’s eyes to the strangeness, variety and intensity of the world we pass through each day, looking but perhaps not seeing.”

About the artist
"My work has long been placed between the observational and the abstract with direct influences of cubist artists like Braque and, my all time heroine, Sonia Delaunay.nnSince moving to Cornwall in 2000 this has been combined with the influences of the natural coastal environment.nnOften using beached pebbles and shells I imbue them with exaggerated colour and movement, enhancing their natural form and textures. These paintings are developed further into elemental abstract pieces, with spinning circles of graduated colour that flow across the canvas."

About the artist
“The current work attempts to convey concepts of identity and displaced origin.

The paintings question the extent to which we attempt to disguise those parts of ourselves which we consider to be flawed, implying confidential imagined spaces that are sometimes naive, uncomfortable and normally deliberately hidden”.

About the artist
“Although I benefited from my Graphic Design course I found the experience of trying to establish myself as a designer very frustrating, in common with many involved in a fine art career. I therefore took the opportunity to travel the world working in motorsport for touring car, world rally and world F1 teams. nnTravelling the world broadened my outlook on life but also confirmed my desire to return to fine art practice. The key was to find a very different approach to oil painting. Instead of using canvas or board for my work I paint on glass. The image is painted on the reverse of the glass and I therefore have to have the completed composition in my mind from the outset. Everything has to be executed in reverse, from transposing left to right to adding the ‘finishing touches’ first and then painstakingly building back from there.”

About the artist
Precession: The motion of a spinning body, such as a top, gyroscope, or planetnn“By its very nature photography involves abstraction, or the reduction of human vision to a two-dimensional representation. In my work the strong geometry that exists in nature is pared back to its simplest form; the horizon no longer provides reference for perspective but becomes divider of the picture plane. The flatness and scale of the captured image, together with the treatment of light, seems to align the work more firmly with hard edged modernist painting than photorgaphy. nnThese simple horizons are formed by harnessing the avaiable light long after sunset and prior to sunrise, or more recently by day, capturing forever changing hues of sea and sky. With exposures of up to an hour I aim to examine the distinct boundaries between real and pictorial space, solid matter and light, ‘the full’ and ‘the void’.”

The social studies I produce are lens based, taking images from amongst cityscapes. I use a multiple intersection of architecture, traces of human interaction, traffic, signs, street furniture, text, repeating forms and any components within the city to construct my images. I extract the rhythm of the scene, allowing the viewer to engage with and expose the geographies we inhabit within contemporary existence and experience the frantic turbulence of city life.nnThe images are visually powerful photoholographic realities, where gravity is not always visible and architecture can appear impossible, building a new space which has become submerged in everyday presence.nnALL IMAGES LIMITED EDITIONS OF 10 - PLEASE CHECK FOR AVAILABILITY

About the artist
“ I received a traditional training whilst at the Ruskin School of Drawing and then attended Kings College, Newcastle, where I studied with Victor Pasmore and Ian Stephenson.nnAfterwards time was spent in Paris, absorbing the 60’s art scene, including influential meetings with Ossip Zadkin.nnIt was not until a move to Sussex that I became dissatisfied with my work. Two years were then spent on rediscovery, which included much drawing from life. nnI started working as a sculptor in 1985. All my work is derived from the female form. Painting and sculpting images are simplified and pared down until they are immediate, sensual and reveal the essence of femininity.”

About the artist
"My paintings are made of transparent layers of acrylic paint on aluminium. I use metal because it reflects the light. The paintings glow and shimmer with natural light. They change according to your viewpoint. Some of the colours are bright and saturated with pigment, others are very soft and subtle. The paintings make you stop and look: they catch your eye from a distance but on closer inspection there are always new things to see. People often find them calming, still and beautiful."

About the artist
“Painting has always been my priority and enjoyment as it is an exciting and fulfilling method of expression for me. i have always taken a particular interest in portraiture. The various shapes, colours and tones of each individual’s face has constantly intrigued me. I get great satisfaction from transcribing how I see an individual into a unique painting. Capturing that person’s particular characteristics with different lines of paint is a fascinating process and fulfilling resolution. In my paintings I aim to make a connection between the subject and the audience. so that the viewer sees the sitter in a distinct light",

About the artist
"My interest in photographs started many years ago when I began studying the unique documentation quality each one possesses. This lead to my fascination with photographs from different eras, how they speak to the viewer so vividly and in so much depth. During this time I looked at photo realism, developing ways in which to interpret photographs and in doing so change their value to objects of art.nnAs I experimented I found increasing meaning in individual and group portraits. These portrait paintings are taken directly from photgraphs and continue to contain the documentation quality of photographs, along with the new qualities of a painting. I constructed and produced a number of these portraits in a way that made it possible to document and represent an individual's identitiy. The process by which the identity is constructed is enthralling; the choice of billions of factors and experiences, people and beliefs that shape who we are. nnThe only style of painting I have embraced seriously in my work is realism. The challenge I face every time I paint a portrait is to create a painting which looks as close to the photograph as possible, whether the observer is standing five inches or five feet away".

About the artist
'My work is a celebration of our cultural heritage interwoven with the present and is influenced by the legacy of Britain's imperial past and Euro-centric culture. I concentrate on the relationship of Britain to Empire, placing it in a contemporary context, relating historical sources in the city to the wider world. In and around the architecture of central London one cannot escape from Britain's imperial past. It is all around, preserved as if the empire still exists. It is this need for preservation that has continued to overshadow contemporary Britain. It is this aspect that motivates my ideas and theory within my current work.nnMy work is contempoary but uses historical sources. These have been generated from my interest in the city, specifically looking at the colonial and imperial architecture of central London as well as the collections of the major museums and galleries. My reseach uses a variety of sources including works of art from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. I have used and adapted these into contemporary issues that are relevant to British society today. I am interested in relating present modernity in Anglo and European culture to its historical and cultural past. I bring the past to life by introducing material elements of modern culture as well as using architecture, public monuments and transcriptions of artist's works from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.'

Product type: Painting

About the artist
'My work has originated from the theory of colour blindness. After being confirmed as colour blind I made an intense study of the colour blind test cards which consist of hundreds of coloured dots which contain hidden numbers. Using this idea of numbers and words appearing from an image I created my own set of colour blind tests and found a satisfying balance of optical imagery combined with abstract landscape. In these images I am able to see the hidden word or number straight away, but others will struggle to find them. The colour schemes are different in every print; even the limited editions have slight variations. I find that bright colours help to stimulate and confuse your eyes, whilst at the same time giving a satisfying feeling of energy or relaxation.nnIt is hard to imagine that people will be seeing these colours differently to myself. My colour deficiency affects my life and in theory limits my career choice. However, this 'deficiency' makes use of colour integral to my work, expressing new found confidence through its use.'

About the artist
'Whilst the images may allude to landscape they are developed from no specific source material. They are the outcome of my pursuing a painting strategy that seeks to produce work that falls between that which is hidden and that which is revealed. Through a rhythmic process of generation, regeneration and degeneration they evolve as 'snapshots' taken on a journey that we may or may not have experienced.'

About the artist
'I produce strongly narrative oil paintings. My subjects are derived from collages, produced from found objects, film stills and early photography as well as my own studies. Dreams, recollections and nostalgia provide much of my inspiration. I attempt to make solid these dream-stories through presenting the work in overtly familiar forms, such as family photographs or holiday postcards. Using these very personal reference points also imbues the paintings with a sense of intimacy. While my scenes may at first appear unresolved, I seek to create visual paradoxes, producing a heightened sense of reality to suggest a flash point - stolen moments, when fates are sealed and time's alive.'

About the artist
'Some of the themes in my work are childhood, memory, sense of place and nostalgia. I am interested in the attachments we have to places especially the importance that places and events from our childhood seem to have. This interest has resulted in two groups of paintings. One group are interiors, or places around a home, painted directly from memory. The others are landscapes painted from images found in old guide books to the British countryside. When trying to reconstruct memories of places I have tried to keep the images as faithful to my own recollection as possible, avoiding any other sources. By working exclusively from memory, although a certain amount of detail remains, the images I am painting are fleeting and unsolid. Because of the failure of memory the paintings do not work as representations of the actual places and some of the images have a dream like feel. They are quiet and contemplative images. The landscapes are places that seem familiar; reminiscent of somewhere, sometime. These paintings are also about childhood and memory but are less personal and more investigative. For both groups of paintings although there are human elements I have chosen to empty the paintings of people and, partly because the nature of memory, strip down the image. This is because I do not wish to play games by leaving indexical clues suggesting possible events or scenarios. The images can then remain genuine, innocent and fleeting.'

About the artist
'Some of the themes in my work are childhood, memory, sense of place and nostalgia. I am interested in the attachments we have to places especially the importance that places and events from our childhood seem to have. This interest has resulted in two groups of paintings. One group are interiors, or places around a home, painted directly from memory. The others are landscapes painted from images found in old guide books to the British countryside. When trying to reconstruct memories of places I have tried to keep the images as faithful to my own recollection as possible, avoiding any other sources. By working exclusively from memory, although a certain amount of detail remains, the images I am painting are fleeting and unsolid. Because of the failure of memory the paintings do not work as representations of the actual places and some of the images have a dream like feel. They are quiet and contemplative images. The landscapes are places that seem familiar; reminiscent of somewhere, sometime. These paintings are also about childhood and memory but are less personal and more investigative. For both groups of paintings although there are human elements I have chosen to empty the paintings of people and, partly because the nature of memory, strip down the image. This is because I do not wish to play games by leaving indexical clues suggesting possible events or scenarios. The images can then remain genuine, innocent and fleeting.'

About the artist
'From a child, I have always been drawn to areas of natural landscape; woodland, heathland, riverbanks, etc. The Norfolk landscape seems to ooze with history; every view revealing insights into its agricultural past, bringing to mind the work of Thomas Hardy and the poems of John Clare. There are also many pockets of ancient woodland, now mostly privately owned, containing ancient sites, some of which date back to the Neolithic period and which are still the subject of local folk lore and myth. My work ranges from large-scale landscape paintings and drawings to smaller, intense studies of close up images from these areas. I hope to reflect the history of the scene and the tensions that exist through folk lore and myth. Working by constructing the image with many layers of glazing, so that it slowly evolves, echoes the passage of time; as the life and history of each particular site are recorded within it, resulting in its current ambience and appearance, so each layer of glazing is an integral part of each 'finished' piece. The images are both romantic and mystical, beautiful but yet not entirely comfortable, stimulating the imagination and suggesting other magical worlds that may exist within our own countryside.'

About the artist
'Recent work, derived from photographic source images, includes renderings of chrysalides and insects. The subjects are frozen in flight or suspended in space and time. Through attention to such things as the realism of the image, the close-up viewpoint, removing the forms from any natural context or through an intensification of colour, these forms become saturated with a presence. As a result, these otherwise natural forms take on an unnatural quality, as if they are intricate technological constructions with a jewel-like quality or have the appearance of enamelled tin. This work communicates such ideas as the primary role interpretation in visual perception, the relationship of the image to reality and technological advance.'

'To me there is nothing more interesting than a person. It is not what the person is doing but how the person is which I find most intense. Painting lends itself more to the embodiment of qualities than actions, due to the stillness of the image, Photography is an essential part of the work in the cultivation of images, but it is through the manipulation of paint I feel I can most closely realise an image which excites me. I see the portrait as a means of reducing this down to a powerful simplicity.'

'Drawing informs much of my practice, through my use of notebooks, whilst contact with the everyday gives the work a diary like quality. My aim is to keep the work personal and alive, allowing the images to be informed from experience, An accumulation of events results in graffitit like effect of information, mixing the personal with banal, reflecting elements of society and media. nnOver the last three years, I have explored the use of narrative. Seeking to fix certain recollections and episodes, by filtering these through imagination. Subjects overlap as things past and present merge together.nnMy practise has varying elements, humour, the use of social commentary, my environment and the everyday. The imagery, because it is often recalled, can seem otherworldly, existing in its own time and realm.'

About the artist
'My work has originated from the theory of colour blindness. After being confirmed as colour blind I made an intense study of the colour blind test cards which consist of hundreds of coloured dots which contain hidden numbers. Using this idea of numbers and words appearing from an image I created my own set of colour blind tests and found a satisfying balance of optical imagery combined with abstract landscape. In these images I am able to see the hidden word or number straight away, but others will struggle to find them. The colour schemes are different in every print; even the limited editions have slight variations. I find that bright colours help to stimulate and confuse your eyes, whilst at the same time giving a satisfying feeling of energy or relaxation.nnIt is hard to imagine that people will be seeing these colours differently to myself. My colour deficiency affects my life and in theory limits my career choice. However, this 'deficiency' makes use of colour integral to my work, expressing new found confidence through its use.'

'My work is a celebration of our cultural heritage interwoven with the present and is influenced by the legacy of Britain's imperial past and Euro-centric culture.

It is this need for preservation that has continued to overshadow contemporary Britain. It is this aspect that motivates my ideas and theory within my current work.nnMy work is contempoary but uses historical sources. These have been generated from my interest in the city, specifically looking at the colonial and imperial architecture of central London as well as the collections of the major museums and galleries. My reseach uses a variety of sources including works of art from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. I have used and adapted these into contemporary issues that are relevant to British society today. I am interested in relating present modernity in Anglo and European culture to its historical and cultural past. I bring the past to life by introducing material elements of modern culture as well as using architecture, public monuments and transcriptions of artist's works from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.'

About the artist
'For the past three years I have been focused on examining the notion of femininity; questioning how to represent it. In my paintings and drawings, I have used the female nude and flowers as the main vehicles for my research. Life-drawing and observational sketches have underpinned my studio practice as I produce preliminary charcoal, pencil and water-colour works on paper in addition to my oil and acrylic paintings on canvas.nnCurrently, I am attempting to unite my passion for the flower as a subject matter with my desire for a technically accomplished application of paint. At once highly detailed and boldly stylised (there is an intentional but subtle juxtaposition of flat abstract colour and closely observed detail), my most recent paintings allude to elements of design and motif in addition to their organic provenance.nnAlthough smooth of surface and finished with gloss varnish, my paintings are not trying to be photographs. Looking closely, the viewer can see traces of a brushstroke or tiny particles of dust, immortalised within the work as the paint and varnish dry. These idiosynchracies stand testimony to the wonderfully unpredictable and 'human' quality of painting.'

About the artist
'My work is inspired by classical statuary and Old Master drawings. The drawing provides a strong foundation for my stonecarving and I believe in the study of figure and anatomy as essential to my development as a sculptor. Most of my current drawings are based on studies I made during visits to churchs and museums in Florence. I also make studies at the Victoria and Albert Museum, The National Gallery, The British Museum and at The Sir John Soane's Museum in London. I also undertake equestrian studies. I am very interested in using similar materials to those used by Renaissance artists such as both dip and quill pens and also silverpoint. Ultimately, I believe that a satisfying drawing (certainly from a sculptors point of view) should contain not only an understanding of form and structure, anatomy and gesture, but also an ornamental or decorative element. A combination of these things can produce something lasting and significant.'

About the artist
'I have attempted to evoke in my paintings the unique atmosphere of the Italian landscape in spring. The pallet of colours used form a strong contrast to my works produced in Edinburgh last year, but the theme is the same. I am interested in painting things not as they physically are, but how they seem to be. This naturally causes them to be very loose and impressionistic paintings, grounded in reality through the architectural elements in them, but still containing a strong abstract influence.'

'I have attempted to evoke in my paintings the unique atmosphere of the Italian landscape in spring. The pallet of colours used form a strong contrast to my works produced in Edinburgh last year, but the theme is the same. I am interested in painting things not as they physically are, but how they seem to be. This naturally causes them to be very loose and impressionistic paintings, grounded in reality through the architectural elements in them, but still containing a strong abstract influence.'

About the artist
'Drawing is the basis to all my work. The drawings originate as an objective study from the environment and human figure, or as a process where memory and imagination are brought together. Sleeping, reading, daydreaming commuters on a train continue to fascinate me. Who are they? What do they do? What are they thinking about? The suite of etchings portray the poetry of the moment and represent a microcosm of contemporary society. I'm also particularly interested in using allegory and sublime narrative in my imaginative works in order to create a piece of drama that is ambiguous and theatrical.'

About the artist
'My work is originally focused on electrical circuitry. I have been using this as a basis for my work for the past three years. Over these years I have developed my work from bold simple pieces into large more complex designs and now into vast and very brightly coloured paintings. These smaller and playful pieces displayed on the web are solely experimentations of the relationships between colour and pattern and are used to produce larger, more developed paintings. To create my larger more developed and complex pieces I combine the controlled, precise and sophisticated circuit images with the playful freeness of shape and vibrant colour which you can see demonstrated in these smalller pieces.'

About the artist
'My recent paintings began as an investigation into the idea of pattern and decoration. I was drawn to influences that were ornate, seductive and colourful, like those of Persian and paisley cloth. I use lo-tech printing methods such as lino and stenciling that produce slightly different effects each time they are laid down as well as painted and drawn marks that feign a repetition of imagery. Using dyed and raw canvas, I pattern the sides of the stretcher so that all the surfaces can be used, decorating every inch of space resulting in work that is alluring, domestic and familiar, yet vibrant and very much about paint. nnThe patterns in my paintings have gradually become less specifically referenced and are growing out of themselves and the work I have already done.They are almost organic patterns, derived from a process of dots, lines, prints and marks. The process of layers is important, creating undulating surface and all over focus. I want the work to be quirky and random, repetitive and patterned, flat and with depth, and to work from a distance as well as extremely close up.'

About the artist
'Many of my paintings originate from landscape. My concerns are based largely within the work itself, such as oppositions and contrasts. I combine control and order with chaos, energy and spontaneity to create a pictorial harmony.nnMy current work questions the present state of painting, the so called death of painting/modernism, and aims to revive and combine past styles and methods such as realism, abstract expressionism and geometrics to create new forms.nI am concerned with the physical qualities of painting; that of paint as subject. These formal concerns are placed in relation to subjective painting - that of consumerism, reproduction and the mechanical. I deal with both physical and subjective opposites. avant-guarde versus kitsch. Romantic, organic paintings which evolve from landscape connotations, both opposing and existing alongside the machine.'

About the artist
'Many of my works are originally based on urban landscape. More importantly, the painting itself is its own inspiration or more precisely each mark is an inspiration for the next, each colour, hue, & tone give birth to the successive ones. My role as a painter is closer to being a cultivator than a creator. Ideally I would like the viewer to see the work 'with their eyes closed', as if the essence of what has been created lies not in its being here, its physicality, but in its aura - a 'moment'. In the simple pursuit of something beautiful, I want the viewer to stop and stare and to take some time out to just consider it. It doesn't matter what the painting started off life as, its content is irrelevant. If it touches the viewer on some deeper level, then it has served a purpose; it is a successful painting. Some buy my work because, for them, the images capture childhood dreams.nnMy ambition is for the paintings to speak in languages of speed and sloth, weight and weightlessness, density and opacity. I hope in some way I translate our emotional existence into visceral images, both complete in themselves and hinting at activity beyond the canvas.nnMy work exists in a similar way to a nice cup of tea.....it is just there to be enjoyed'

About the artist
'My figurative works are focused on the face as I feel it is the most interesting and revealing part of the body. The face is the only part of our anatomy that we cannot hide and is therefore the first impression one presents. It conveys our emotions and histories, which may have been forced upon us through circumstances out of our control. We are all too quick to judge on initial appearance, without any regard for the person within.nnFacial disfigurement is almost impossible to hide, and can alienate one from society as the person is stared at or ignored, simply due to their appearance. I am fascinated by how surgery can alter ones state. The appearance of the person is completely changed and they are therefore 'accepted' within society, which in turn alters their personality, as they become confident in themselves and the true person blossoms. nnConsequently, my work is an exploration, of how people's physical state can be altered through surgery. I aim to show the positive aspects of aesthetic surgery and illustrate that although at first glance a person may appear 'normal', further investigation shows them to have had reconstructive surgery. Therefore, although appearing as society expects, they are always scarred either physically or emotionally. They are softly painted in a response to the empathy one feels towards the often harrowing and disturbing subject. In focusing on the face, I intend to force the viewer to concentrate on and analyse the image presented to them, without background or surroundings confusing the issues.'

About the artist
'My figurative works are focused on the face as I feel it is the most interesting and revealing part of the body. The face is the only part of our anatomy that we cannot hide and is therefore the first impression one presents. It conveys our emotions and histories, which may have been forced upon us through circumstances out of our control.
