Gareth Tristan Evans Born in Singapore, brought up in a remote Welsh valley and now living in Macclesfield, Gareth is an emerging mixed media artist whose work is gathering increased interest from contemporary art collectors.

Gareth utilises a range of techniques from digital photography to traditional pen and brush work. His work is influenced by childhood memory, vintage textiles and street art. Unconstrained by the need to conform to traditional codes, Gareth employs whatever skills and materials needed to achieve his desired result, all with an unwavering attention to detail.

His latest series Urban Geisha sees the artist creating a 21st century version of the traditional Geisha. Each piece in the series is hand crafted using multiple media. Layers of gold leaf, acrylics, Hanko stamps, Japanese postage stamps and 3D relief tiles have all been woven into each artwork.

Carol Peace Founder of the Bristol Drawing School, Carol Peace is a figurative sculptor who could not work without drawing. Throughout her process of creating, she makes detailed life drawings before modelling her self-reflective figures in clay.

With their delicately balanced forms and rock-like plinths, Carol's figures invite the viewer to mediate on the human condition, the step from adolescence to adult hood or the vulnerability of a mother and child. The sculptures are made in clay, which, like charcoal, is quick to make marks with. Once finished it is cast into bronze and resins, those fluid (sketch-like) marks of the making are then fixed forever.

Carol's intensely personal work is shown and collected all over the UK, Europe, the Far East and United States. Her largescale work is permanently on show at Glyndebourne and at the Dorchester's country house hotel in Ascot.

Sam Read “I believe in painting from your inner source.”

Sam's art making is centred around equanimity, change, assurance, timelessness and mystery. The single figure is the anchor, the multiple layers become my way into a conversation that is felt rather than explained. Her work deals with her past and memories and how they relate.

“The role of memory is crucial. Our memories help us make sense of what has gone on in the past, and the past is the cornerstone of what gives us our sense of being who we are today. Memory, however, can be very selective and easily influenced.”

Sam now lives and works inside of Richmond Park as a gardener in a private house, alongside working in the art department of a Grammar school. She is never without a sketchbook to hand- jotting down fleeting images, memories and feelings that often develop into more in-depth ideas and detailed images. Although her works contain a dark mystery, the artist is not afraid of nostalgia and sentiment. She paints people, birds and flowers- a combination that often creates an unspoken symbolism to each work.

Maria Rivans Maria Rivans is known for her scrapbook-style collage aesthetic. A mash-up of Surrealism meets Pop Art, her work reappropriates vintage ephemera, transporting the viewer into fantastical imagined worlds. Her works are suffused with vivid colour, arresting imagery, intricate detail, and finished with a dusting of subtle humour.

Intertwining different film and TV genres, from vintage Hollywood, to 1970s sci-fi, B-movies and trash TV, the artist's work is in a constant dialogue with cultures of the past, reinventing existing film plots and narratives, while spinning bizarre and dreamlike tales.

Her use of collage reflects the complex and fragmented world from which the art arises, but it is balanced with an attention to beauty and to harmony of composition. In her pin-up series, Rivans reclaims iconic femininity to champion female strength; her exotic and escapist works are often laced with ominous undertones, to remind us of the darker side of human nature; utopian imagery from 1950s pop-culture speaks to today's obsession with consumerism; while a persistent love of sci-fi illustrates the fact that her work is always a meditation on the greater question of‘life, the universe, and everything.’

Ingrid Saag “Clear, vivid colours, are an integral feature of my work, they were probably instilled into my psyche during my childhood growing up in the tropics. Colour has a powerful therapeutic action, which can have a healing and re-balancing effect for both the artist and the viewer.”

The human figure is a favourite subject of Ingrid Saag's, often used in the context of life experiences and interests, or with reference to writing. Some pieces are inscribed with poetry describing the passions, lusts, furies and joys inspired by human love. Landscapes and the natural world are also incorporated into some of her designs.

Ingrid's vases and bowls are unique or editioned hand painted pieces. They are slip cast with white earthenware clay and often altered after removal from the mould, to produce highly individual ceramics.

Fletcher Sibthorp “I am not out to rock the world with my insights, but in some way I hope these paintings will touch the soul of someone, for a moment. If this is the case I have achieved what I have set out to do.”

Born in Hertfordshire in 1967, Fletcher Sibthorp has had a successful career as a painter since graduating with Honours from Kingston University in 1989. He has exhibited his work widely for almost ten years, hosting solo shows in London, Hong Kong and Japan. Widely recognised for his dance paintings, Sibthorp has also produced a number of other series, most recently his'Quiet Space' project.

Described by the artist as one of his most personal series, he says “Quiet Space represents for me, captured moments of human introspection and frailty, instants which exist and then are gone, whether an expression, the way light falls and catches the face, or a simple portrait.”

Kristin Vestgard Kirstin was born in Norway and studied at Falmouth College of art in 2000. She now creates her artwork from her studio in Asgardstrand, Norway.

“I go searching with my oil paints, entering an unknowingness searching intuitively for what is meant to happen on the canvas. I draw inspiration from processing everything that comes my way, the people, atmospheres, nature and emotions. I keep looking for poetry with a nerve or an essence that brings meaning when working. I always try and pervey a sense of hope, maybe just for myself, an understanding or empathy that only whispers between what is light and dark in life.”
