Liam Jolly
Rooted in the language of abstract painting, his concept driven multidisciplinary works are the result of experimenting with what/where the work can be in a process led practice. His works aim to exist within the divide between before and after, actual fact and performance.[...]

Janet McEwan
I describe myself as an artist and educator with a research led practice that predominantly investigates our contingent dynamic with the natural environment: often probing the space between the encounter and the mediated experience. [...]

Ilker CinarelIn this body of work I am exploring aspects of masculinity and sexuality, in particular moments of intimate thoughts and man as the sexual being; the voyeur, the object of pleasure, the predator, the lover. [...]

Ros Bason
I am interested in the unfolding narrative that an object, shadow or thought can illuminate, the elevation it can receive and how it is possible to sustain the curiosity of the audience through expressive ambiguity. Indeterminate images suspend identification and disrupt the perceptual process. [...]

Sara Bowler
I am interested in how bodies of knowledge related to place come about, endure and are disseminated. This might be evidenced through history, archaeology, folklore, tracks, place names, myths, geography, science, art. [...]

Elisa McLeod
Depicting botanical imagery captured through the lens of a camera my oil paintings on canvas explore the middle ground between representational and abstract art. Photographs are the starting point of my creative process and act as a form of sketchbook – ... [...]

Mary Fletcher
I have made art from the most upsetting things in my life, such as grief, but in
the end the work is hopeful and connects with a wide range of people because it is about important experiences. Read more... |
Emma Griffin
The way I make paintings reflects the way I experience the world, I find it exciting and challenging to find different ways of using paint, expressive marks to deliberately fashioned self-conscious brushstrokes to graphic signs and symbols in oil and spray paint. [...]

Charmaine Honeychurch
Space in its silence has a powerful impact on the essence and expression of drawing/painting.
Light against the dark, dark against the light. Read more... |
Pete Ward
As an ecological artist my practice is rooted in a sense of our evolving relationships within the animate earth. Art, as a holistic interdisciplinary process, is the means through which I investigate and share these relationships. It is an intimate response to the social and ecological conditions of our age. [...]

Morwenna Morrison
Initially my work started as a response to my friends’ life stories. It seemed you only had to ask and have the patience to listen to uncover the most extraordinary experiences, many from childhood which resonated throughout their lives. Much of my art draws reference from childhood. [...]

Jayne Anita Smith
Situated between consciousness and dream, the scenes of petrified marginal spaces are colonized by the architectural fabrications of a futuristic world. An apocalyptic scene that bears silent witness to our failures and repressed memories, [...]

Frances Walsh
My current practice involves site-specific work, including painting, photography, video, light and archive material, presented as single pieces, works in series, or as installations. The work builds on an initial visual [...]

Anna Sadler
Through performance, video, sound and installation, I create real and physical experiences in space that transport the spectator to a landscape that is strange, foreign and surprising. I work intuitively; performing my body for the camera, responding to space, reinventing surfaces for video projection and re-appropriating objects to view into. [...]

Carolyn Arnold

Donna Mitchell
The process of making to me is very instinctive. It comes with the need to make a loose idea physical with constant revaluation. My working method is experimental and explorative, often leading to the work being discarded and dismantled after exhibiting. [...]

Charlie Mann
My current work has stemmed from my fascination with human interaction over the Internet. The platforms from which these relationships are built are often within the chat room environment, which use the webcam as a means to replicate face to face interaction. [...]

Ron Ford
My work explores the transition between abstraction and representation through a dynamic interaction of observed, sensed, and re-membered images, chance encounters and experiential accidents. Whilst acknowledging the deep historical roots, practices and conventions of painting, I reject formalism, ... [...]

Jonathan Hayter
Jonathan Hayter’s current explorations are as a multimedia artist, using traditional ways such as drawing and painting and particularly, using techniques developed from shadow puppet theatre, creating works as film, video and sculpture to develop his own ideology. [...]

Adam R. Grose
I research and create work based on observations, through imagery appropriated from various Media outlets, printed and digital, exploring past and present moments of history, enabling a re-evaluation their reality, seeking what was missed in its first reading, our participation with perception and how we decipher images and texts. [...]

Francesca Owen
Centred in environmental issues, my work reflects these concerns and is focused on exploring methods to heal our perception of feeling disconnected from nature. My work involves collecting plant debris, mud and other materials whilst walking, and through this simple action, nurturing and healing a connection to the natural local habitat. [...]

Jo MillettI have several areas of interest in my work, including the relationship between sound and image, landscape/place and time, perception and memory. The thread throughout is the experience of temporality. The work almost always takes the form of installations (some site-specific) ...[...]

Juliet Walshe
I am a painter concerned with the materiality and physicality of paint, colour and mark-making. I like to build up layers with glazes on top of oil paint, which in turn sit on a variety of...[...]
