Consistent themes explored within my work are the tendency for escapist behaviour and segregation in the context of human interaction, arising from a distorted desire to belong. Examples of specific themes explored are the reliance of individuals on identity, religion or nostalgia. The work frequently questions what lies behind socially...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

Concepts Painter concerned with visual perception. Formal notions of light and movement within the second dimension. In addition, the concept of illusion and double meaning are particularly important. The notion that we may receive two contrasting visual experiences from a single visual stimulant. I am interested in playing with ideas of...

Current Practice I am essentially a fine art painter, but I do print and draw as part of my practise. I have recently re-dicovered Gesso which I am finding captivating in its coldness. Concepts If you look at my paintings closely you will see layers upon layers of paint. Each piece takes time to complete, although the marks are expressive and...

We are an Art Brand initiated in 2009 by John Rogers (b.1990) acting as director. We enquire into the perceptions of value in the material world. Objects are purged but venerated as the boundary between object and abstract is blurred. Objects become all the more loaded in their emptiness. With the creative process as a conveyor belt, the artwork...

Rosie Leventon makes Sculptural installations Interventions Public Art Commissions Environmental Artwork and drawings some of which are permanent and some ephemeral. Green issues run through the work, she always prefers to use recycled materials.  Many of the pieces are architectural and relate to or use their surroundings in some way, they...

My work is primarily concerned with process – building translucent glazes of paint until an illusion of light and depth are achieved. The process involves the application of multiple (up to 40 or more) thin glazes of acrylic paint and gloss medium. Each layer is dragged, pulled or manipulated with various implements – the process being...

My work covers eclectic subject matter, often inspired by daydreams and my imagination, sometimes representational, using appropriated imagery from magazines and books and my own photographs; sometimes abstract. My practice is instinctive and intuitive, and encompasses photography, drawing and painting.

I Make large groups of paintings inspired by historical images and contemporary film. Re assembling these paintings I can create new stories of mystery, romance and drama, the obsessive and the lustful.

The 'Dark Matter' sculptures and drawings refer to the vast majority of matter and energy in the universe that exists but cannot be seen. The work also reflects my interest in the experience of place and the ability of art to enable access to abstract, remote and invisible spaces including the space of the human unconscious. In the 'Dark Matter'...

My recent work has reflected my day-to-day inspiration from new media, like the internet, television and photography. I am using these media as components to create tension in the painting by using marks and gestures individual to myself. I daily research new influences and ideas for my work, and take from the world around me the parts which...

My practice is concerned with time, process and the meaning acquired by objects and materials.Influenced by minimalist movements of the 60s and 70s, the works disrupt the narrative connotations acquired by symbols, objects and spaces. Motifs are informed by architecture, design, comic books and film title sequences by artists such as Saul Bass....

David Webb - New Paintings Somewhere in 'Cahiers d’Art' Braque comments that the only thing that matters about a painting is what can’t be put into words. What Braque is saying is that a painting by-passes verbalisation and operates entirely through the eyes, between painter and observer. A painting may be recognised or identified...

The work Of Daniel Mullen Inspired by architecture, Mullen seeks to challenge his understanding of how space can support imagination, evoking new possibilities. Leaving vast area's of his canvas empty, allowing isolated abstract planes to activate and deactivate surface. Although the works balance on a fine line between abstraction and...

Matt Gee's work involves covering, melting, placing, arranging, of spaces and objects as some of the processes involved in the fabrication of my work.There is a concern with the authenticity of materiality, the source of materials, jostling with the modern materialistic demands of human sensory decadent desire, a society that expects, an...

My new work on paper. As in my former work the grid remains a fundamental part of each piece. However the change from oil, as a medium, to watercolour, has resulted in a significant shift in my concerns. This new work explores pattern and repetition, but celebrates difference. We recognise symmetry and repetition as reassuring. The...

My current practice explores human and nature relationship. In my artwork I examine different possibilities in interpretation of human alienation from nature by hinting at consumer lifestyle as a probable reason. My work implies landscape elements, regarding landscape as a portrait of nature. Landscape can be looked at as a focus for the...

Most importantly, my work is an exploration around reality and illusion. In particular the sensation of a fractured reality; the paintings depict figures within, and enveloped by spaces that feel simultaneously familiar and unreal. The idea of the moment is imperative to the process of making the paintings; they have to create tension in a...

My practice is a pictorialist one, involving mainly photography, painting and drawing, underpinned by the legacies and practices of conceptualism. In this way, I aim to work in and around issues of picturing, photography and realism as a set of problematics. Commentators have remarked upon my works' Romanticism but also its schizophrenic...

Addressing the chronologies and legacies of pioneer Modernism Karl's work is a testament to the integrity and invention of that visionary era, an attempt to recapitulate the revolutionary spirit to invoke memories of how the future used to be. Utilising the detritus of our post-industrial landscape Karl attempts to transform the ordinary into...

Concepts My work is 'about' rather than 'of' landscape. I prefer to get involved with a landscape and aim to say something about its past and present. I am especially interested in the impact that mankind has had on the land through industrial, agricultural, ritual and military use and increasingly with ecological issues. I was commissioned...

My work sits in the space between abstraction and realism, the subject matter a starting point for my essentially process-driven practice. Banal scenes, often linear architectural spaces, sometimes people in dialogue, become simple geometric forms devoid of all detail. I'm continually interested in how graphic marks relate to more textural areas...

My practice is experimental and multi-disciplinary, often driven by an interest in contradiction or paradox. I use the appropriation and defacement of found materials to construct scenarios or images that manipulate the 'real' or recognisable. Fliers and newspapers are a surface of existing forms, which serve as starting points for...

My paintings are based on landscapes and the impact of light and colour on what we see. In my work I use the familiar motifs landscape painting and recognisable settings in which to explore the language of painting. I work from memory - exaggerating and romanticising, as with memories, the moment into a dreamlike and filmic reinterpretation of the...

My work explores the concepts of power, politics, history, identity and death through irony and humour. I am interested in how they influence beliefs and perceptions by altering and subverting them. From here derives the desire to further explore the need for uncertainty and the metaphysical loneliness of the human being, addressing such...

Combining the mass produced and the unique is, for me, humorous and ironical and full of suggestion and contradiction. I am interested in the process of reproduction (printmaking, laser cutting, high tech and lo-tech) and also by the theme of reproduction (with reference to the ethical debate surrounding biotechnology, genetics, sex and...
