My process of painting continually evolves within different stages of concentration, one that is figuratively minded and one based on abstract formal decisions. I find that these types of mindset are activated by one anothers absence. It starts with the conscious decision of trying to do something back to front, an interest in figurative...

Alex Dipple’s painted-over newspapers present the classical information mediumfree from its content as tender and vulnerable but mysteriously beautiful „skins.“ With a similarly sort of a „foreign view“, the artist examines newspapers and their formal structure. She discards lines, which are...

Concepts Lately my activity has involved selecting and processing fragmentary images from multiple sources, and most particularly those related to our engagement with the virtual world of the internet. Throughout previous work there has been a dominant theme of the layering of imaginary visions onto elements of perceived reality. However,...

Working in sculpture & installation, I manipulate seemingly mundane objects to reveal the strangeness of the everyday and the paradoxical language of the readymade. Within my work, an object is not encountered as a concrete 'thing' with a concrete meaning but as a nameless 'something' in a constant state of becoming. Through minimal...

Concepts I make prints and paintings responding to the local landscape. In a mostly arable landscape I necessarily engage with current farming techniques as well as the natural changes that occur. The work is intended to be a document as well as an expression. Colour has become increasingly important to me as an expression of mood and...

The lure of the ‘false’ in painting forms the foundation of my work. Constructed landscapes and the psychology of fictional spaces make up the stage for an exploration of painting as a simulacra, not a representation. Ultimately, my paintings seek to picture something tangible, conjured up from our obsession with simulations and...

Using tools of performance and image making, my practice adopts an approach of practical philosophy. Combining dialogical methodologies and performative strategies, the work centres on the nature of the image and sets out to create an encounter that goes beyond representational means, towards a more experiential engagement. By creating...

I make images of space and structure. I seek to document the place in which I exist by indexing the personal, social and political. I can only work from the experienced. The contours of the 'man-made' negotiated daily within the high street and suburban dwelling form the structure of much of my work. My intention is not to illustrate environment...

Lock's practice straddles fact and fiction, truth and the fake. Weaving new narratives of history and myth through a complicated and sometimes mysterious tale of heartache of heartache, lust and delusional thinking, Lock allows her practice to accumulate, take unfathomable journeys and elicit deceit to create part encrypted biography and...

I work from imagination to create my own poetic vision of the world. Over time, I have developed a number of themes and characters, largely with origins in childhood, memory and dream imagery. My subject matter reflects my interest in, myth, folklore, history and  magic and my characters express both the light and darker sides of human nature...

My work is abstract and is inspired by landscape and environment.  Strongly characterised by colour, rhythm and movement, I seek to express the excitement of travel and new experiences. Artist statement 'Rhythm' (2007) comes from a body of work made from abandoned derelict artefacts found in a rural environment. In its painted form, this...

I am absorbed with the way light changes and defines places, constantly transforming the same piece of land, wood or coastline. The changing quality of light and elements against the permanence and stillness of the landscape are central to my work; clouds across a hill, flashes of light through woods, shadows along a track. I use a range of...

My practice draws inspiration from man, nature and our reconnection, and encompasses exploration, experimentation, heritage, sustainability and responses to surroundings and situations. Projects are diverse but the central theme remains. In 2008 I graduated MA Art as Environment from Manchester Metropolitan University and importantly my work...

I am essentially concerned with the exploration of paint onto canvas and my relationship to it, its application and the dynamics thereof. Working with the process of addition and subtraction, movement, memory and energy, while evolving a series of paintings concurrently. I feel one of the many roles of an artist is to challenge peoples...

My practice is primarily concerned with painting but has also included video and collaborative projects. I am currently working with images from the website of institutional buildings which relate to my own autobiography. I am interested in the locations both virtual and real where private and cultural memory coincide. Although these are not my...

My work focuses upon landscape: gardens, parks, woodland and shorelines. My paintings often hint at a human presence and I feel that my artwork expresses a mood of tranquillity sometimes coupled with one of unease, reflecting upon the external and inner life of the artist. The therapeutic aspect of painting and drawing interests me, how...

Concepts I am a painter based in Scotland, my work ranges from large scale abstract colourfield painting to smaller figurative work.  "Rowena unleashes a powerful emotional force in a positive life enhancing aesthetic. An aesthetic in painting that is informed by vibrating colour relationships and formal balancing. The tension...

I work between the mediums of drawing and painting. I work in ongoing series often alongside each other, the still life paintings examine everyday objects and ornaments that sit side by side on shelves and ledges or in cabinets. The notes and drawings are the starting point for the paintings it then becomes the constant shifts that happen on the...

My work uses cardboard, tin cans plastics and cardboard tubes usually destined for the waste bin. The fragile resemblances that I produce with their torn, folded and glued sections are crude, insubstantial, spray painted copies, three-dimensional jigsaws, connected and disconnected fragments of machines displayed as museum artefacts. They fit into...

My art practice focusses on aspects of both landscape and text, consisting of photographs, moving image, installations, drawings, performance and painting. Working reflexively across different mediums has enabled a visual language to develop that articulates what otherwise may remain remains unseen and unheard. My motivation is to exceed the...

Working most often in oil paint, using personal and found photographic archive, popular cultural documentation, music, interior design and studies from life as points of reference - the area of investigation becomes the tension when a form modelled by 'Nature' interfaces a manmade form, ie. a child's...

Pure abstract artist who uses paint to express the combining of opposites. Paint is applied randomly but is overlaid with geometric monochrome shapes, providing a contrast and distinction. Colour is very important as it underpins each picture space and installs a sense of vibrancy. By placing representational and three dimensional objects onto...

Evans' practice deals with themes such as the sublime within catastrophe, social deprivation and social aesthetic. He features sub groups of society that live and survive on the fringes in contrast to the clean, ordered and consumerist utopia. Displaying people's urban survival strategies, Evans prompts the viewer to re-evaluate their own place,...

What defines drawing: intention, format, support? Works in sketchbooks are drawings because they are investigative; primary sources; studies for something else; therefore apparently unfinished, ephemeral, and seen as work in progress. They are part of a journey towards another state of being. I am interested in the point at which painting and...

I hoard ideas. Certain things fascinate me for reasons which may be elusive, like a face that seems familiar but which I can't quite place. My practice is about exploring these ideas, and probing for the ingredients which caused them to become rooted in my imagination. My practice is defined by experimentation, and I am more interested in...

Colour relationships - form and space - the whole and its parts - the sensorium. Urban environments, real or filtered, provide the abstract elements and colours  with which I order pictorial space. I trial many possible outcomes - working with various papers and tape on a prepared ground - before making the finished piece. My aim is to...

Originally an actor, my sense of narrative, space and memory is colored by the intense experience of the performance process, while my creative drive is rooted in the actors drive for empathy. Mimesis (the mirroring of our world) is fundamental to all art forms and particularly visible within realist art or theatre...

Concepts There is no common theme to my work although areas of interest include perception, surveillance, watching and being watched, and seeing the bigger picture in the small details of things. I like to relate the theme and the method of working. Recent paintings in response to environmental concerns have focused on surface and the use...
