MARIA LW Within Maria's canvasses she looks to the turbulence and beauty of mother nature for inspiration. Through this overarching omnipotent force, our love, our pain and our experiences are shared. Her work plunges the viewer into blissful space, where for a moment, nothing but the beauty and power of nature need be seen. Her work is intended to soothe the busy mind and instil a sense of peace and harmony within the viewer. All works are acrylic paint on either wood or canvas. The colours and structure of her paintings is informed by ambient music, such as Brian Eno and Jon Hopkins, and aims to take the viewer to the same ephemeral, euphoric spaces as these electronic pioneers.

JOS “You're never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream.” - C. S. Lewis A scientist by training, I decided I needed to exercise the right side of brain and fulfil my absolute joy of painting. I am an enthusiastic artist. Big, bright and bold is my style; I can’t seem to tone it down really, in fact I'm getting slightly too exuberant occasionally. I enjoy painting animals, landscapes and flowers. I strive to capture the luxuriance of blousy peonies and roses in a fresh and contemporary style. I constantly experiment with unconventional combinations and thick swathes of paint to create a semi-abstract swirly style of painting. I’m absolutely delighted when it works.

LIZ “I am a self-taught artist born in the UK and now located in Warrington, having lived in Mauritius during my career. I am interested in the intangible, that which we feel but cannot translate. My paintings begin with feelings derived from alternative perspectives bordering on a spiritual level. Inspirations for me are found within the colours of nature; such as the iridescence of a paua shell or reflected light underwater. Working the contrasts of depth, texture & luminosity and a slightly obsessive edge, intricacy & layering. I choose to take you on a journey of the cosmos around me and the discovery of art being a spiritual experience.�

GEORGINA “I was born in 1983 here in the UK and grew up in a medium sized town in Cheshire, a lovely place with old empty mill buildings, a gorgeous Victorian park and a rich visual history. I always loved looking at the buildings around me as I grew up, imagining how things were in the past - I still do in fact. With my paintings I aim to evoke thoughts of nature, gardens and skies in those viewing them, but simultaneously I like for the works to retain an element of ambiguity, of total abstraction, thus leaving them completely open to interpretation - I love hearing what people see in my work! Alongside for my passion for natures sits a deep-seated passion for spontaneity and expression , which finds its form in the brush marks and spiralling gestural lines which come to rest on top of the soft atmospheric veils of colour which make up the body of my paintings. My more abstract work focuses on just that, abstraction! But also colour and speed, simply enjoying the colours and the paint. I sometimes like to switch my processes around, allowing myself to work in a much freer, simpler abstract style.

MIREIA “Since my youth, I have been passionate about art which I found was a balance to my interests in more pragmatic subjects, such as maths and science. This very much reflects my personality which also explains my profession as an architect; a profession that is both regimented and boundless. Art gives me the control to break rules and paint by instinct. Painting is my chosen medium, but I am equally fascinated by sculpture and find inspiration in works by Rodin and Michelangelo. I especially admire the manner in which Rodin seemingly left some of his pieces unfinished or rough around the edges to better express movement and life. This is a style I also enjoy in paintings, best exemplified by Turner, an artist whose use of light and tone I feel has greatly affected me in my personal and artistic capacity.�

RACHEL “I started to paint simply for pleasure and very rapidly, to my surprise and delight, my work generated a great deal of interest. This inspired me to experiment with innovative techniques and mixed media to develop my own style. I aim to create bold, vibrant, emotive and energetic canvases. The paintings range from representational images to textural abstracts, from wildlife to majestic coastal scenes with a great deal in between. I like to think that the use of striking colour is the defining indicator of my work.� Rachel has participated in many exhibitions throughout the UK to wide acclaim; and has been published on calendars and Christmas and greetings cards. She is regularly invited to exhibit at the Art Shed Gallery in Ware, Hertfordshire. Recently her work has been displayed at the Picture Craft Gallery Holt, Norfolk. Rachel paints both for exhibition and by private and public commission's

MICHAEL H I studied A level art at Blackpool and the Fylde College where I learnt the basics of drawing and painting. I progressed my work further by studying at The Cumbria College of Art & Design where I achieved a degree in fine art. My style changed dramatically from a traditional style to a kind of semi abstract expressionist style of landscape painting to total abstraction which is where I feel most comfortable. I use a variety of techniques and applications which may include painting, airbrush, photography and digitally collage. I’m interested in the effect of shapes and forms and how they can be arranged together over interesting grounds to create space and movement.

ANGELA After a long career in higher education I discovered two new passions in my life in 2006: art and psychotherapy. I retrained as a therapist and have been continuously working towards improving my artistic output ever since that ‘Eureka’ moment. Much of my earlier range of work was influenced by my psychotherapy training; the pieces were concerned with memories and dreams peeling away at them layer by layer. The work that followed were abstract representations of landscapes finding inspiration in the beauty of the outside world: gentle landscapes in the UK, the Arctic Circle, the warm and fiery tones of Mediterranean countryside, dramatic skyscapes and the movement of the sea and the dramatic beauty of flowers. Viewers often comment on the strong colours that I use in my work. Observing nature offers the inspiration for the vivid greens, magentas and yellows that are frequently found in my work. Try as I might I struggle to work in monochromes – colour always creeps in and takes over.

DAVINA Davina’s vibrant world of abstract and impressionistic work is developing constantly. To her, the most important thing about a painting is an exploration of oneself. Her paintings reflect the mood, environment and memories to create atmospheric nature of landscapes and seascapes, or whatever is in the imagination at the time. With the freedom of movement and the beauty of colours and texture, the desire is to awaken the imagination of possibilities within. Many of her painting have sold worldwide to variety of customers, some to collectors and businesses. She has exhibited her works in galleries and various venues in the UK.

LISA Lisa is a contemporary abstract artist. Sharing her time between North London and North Yorkshire. “Although I have A ‘levels in Art and History of Art, I am mostly self taught. My speciality is acrylic and mixed media and I take my influence from the patterns and textures of our amazing world. I love the feeling of freedom and energy that the use of different mediums allows. Often, something as simple as a variation in texture or direction can create something totally unexpected.” “Each of my paintings reflects the different layers and adventures in life that create our own unique individuality. It is for this reason that I leave it up to the owner of the painting to decide which way it should hang.” “We all see something different!”

CASS I was born in Exeter, Devon in 1972; and educated at Exeter College. Currently my practice involves ink drawings and abstract painting. My influences are literally all around me, from crowded city to isolated moor, I enjoy walking, extensively over Dartmoor, in local forests and on the south Devon coast. I am a self-taught artist who whilst recovering at home from slipped discs, found my attention drawn to my household paints and old wallpaper stored in the garden shed. I experimented with dripping and then vigorously swiping gloss paints over a large cut section of wallpaper. Impressed with the results I researched local art opportunities, and my work was shown in a local gallery where it was warmly received. My paintings are produced from a standing-above position, I lay my canvas/board on the studio floor, dip thin bamboo into paints, and then from a 360° position begin work.

ELENA Elena is a London based contemporary abstract painter. Praised for her natural feel for colours, she is an astute observer of interpersonal relationships, which inspire her to create thought-provoking works. A self-taught painter, Elena was born in 1980 in a small town in Transylvania. She lived in Paris and travelled extensively before settling down in London a decade ago. Elena's paintings are abstract poetical representations of friendships, love stories, family or professional relationships in our cosmopolite and multicultural society. In order to represent feelings, she continuously develops her own language that is dominated by bold colours and shapes. Elena enjoys the versatility of the acrylic mediums and paints, using pouring, spraying, glazing and other techniques to create layers and depth. She loves to explore the way the paint moves and colours blend and to experiment with the textural qualities of the paint using original and unconventional application tools. Elena is proud to participate in prestigious exhibitions like the SWA Annual Exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London and also to have works residing in private collections in USA, Australia, Hong Kong, Belgium, France and the UK.

BAGUEPS Born into a family of artists, Bagueps studied applied arts in Paris at Oliviers de Serre, specializing in interior design. After graduating, she worked for a French cabinetmaking firm for seven years, where she gained her experience in creating materials and finishes. In her paintings, she strives to translate the peaceful feeling she gets from the inspiration of nature, in particular the beauty of the sky. Having painted since childhood, Bagueps aims to capture the colourful vibrations of the everyday; the sky is a constantly changing canvas she wishes to replicate. Her principal subject is the inbetween; the flux between two states. She begins with an initial inspiration and then lets the painting guide her. Mixing different materials such as acrylic, oil, marble powder and silver powder, the colour and texture takes on its own form.

LYRA The appeal of Lyra's ‘scapes' is in the creation of atmosphere through her connection with colour. She creates abstract but instinctively balanced compositions through an open and experimental approach to her practice. “Colour has always played a big part in my life and art career - loving the way it can transform how we experience and live in any space” “With my paintings, I aim to create atmosphere rather than realism, they are built up in layers using a unique non-brush technique”

CHERYL D Originally from England Cheryl has lived and worked extensively in south East Asia, Australia and across Europe returning to the UK just a few years ago. Working mainly in oils, acrylic, enamel, PVA and industrial paint The artist rarely uses a brush preferring instead to use bare hands and other unconventional approaches. This results in totally unique and idiosyncratic pieces, each borne from a singular moment in their imagination or memory. The artist’s aim is to produce completely original pieces that become a conduit between the viewer and their own imagination.

JUSTYNA I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. I have been choosing …s i l e n c e… as the subject of my paintings for the last nine years in an attempt to grasp what is often a result of meditation or contemplation – the undisturbed inner peace… This silence helps me to find the balance with my inner soul. … get rid off the thoughts, information, noise which invade us constantly every day. It strengthens my concentration, helps to leave the useless matters from our mind and keep only the valuable and inspiring ones. Owing to this wonderful silence we are able to reach the great state of contemplation, the blissful state which soothes our soul, body and mind. The purpose of my performance is to make this state come closer .By use of the compositions and the harmony of colors I would like to create the state of softening and infect the spectator with it. My main source of inspiration lies in nature, however what I paint is rather a state of mind than the real world.

JANE W Jane's work references the ever changing outlines of the landscape. Her gestural paintings exude energy and movement, and are often on a large scale. Her abstract paintings contain a real sense of place, inspired in equal measure by the South Downs and London. The amalgamation of these contrasting environments is evident in her work. From this is an obvious process of deconstruction and reconstruction. For Jane the act of painting is a continuous process, always changing and taking away, to create something new.

SUSAN W I have been an abstract expressionist painter since my early teens. The immediacy and freshness of this style as well as its complexity and boldness has always spoken to me. To this end I usually paint with acrylic paint in an alla prima style, in a spontaneous and physical way, moving back and forth across the canvas, making marks that dance across that surface. I start by introducing colour, shapes and line, then respond to their development. I move these elements around, adding and removing paint in multiple layers, having been described as an emotional painter. I've been described as an emotional painter, my abstract paintings are my first love as I am free to indulge and be spontaneous experimenting with colours and textures, creating multiple layers resulting in visceral unique painting with mood and depth. Over the years I have sold many paintings at Art & Craft Fairs and Exhibitions and, more recently, my paintings are in customers homes all over the world, Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Spain, UK and the USA My inspiration comes whilst walking on the beach or in the many Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty that Wales has; a holiday I've taken, seasons, landscapes and my imagination. In my abstracts I try to represent my personal thoughts and emotions which I capture on canvas and express through bold colour, strong composition, textures and shapes

CORINNE Corinne is a contemporary abstract artist, based in London, specialising in acrylic and mixed media paintings. She is passionate about painting and is regularly creating new artworks. Her work is inspired by landscapes, nature, cities, travel, fashion, media and investigates colour, form, space and texture. She often works on seasons or nature based environments with colour, how colours work with one another and the colour relationship with the season or environment. Working with acrylic and mixed media, a blank white canvas takes on a new form through the expression of energy and begins to develop a life of it's own and a new entity, aiming to create vibrant and emotive works. Corinne has sold works in the UK and internationally, for homes, offices, hotels and restaurants; exhibited in solo and group shows, as well as at a London Hotel and leading Art Fairs.l

TERESA B Teresa graduated from Chelsea College of Art in 2015. Through her work she questions the fidelity and validity of our personal histories and our perceptions of them, which in turn challenge our concepts of personal identity and self. The act of remembering is an act of creation. I interpret the concept of memory construction in my paintings by exploring how materials react and interact with each other. The drying time between applications, the order of layering and choice of media all contribute to a continuously changing outcome. Each layer interacts with and changes those that precede and follow it whilst retaining its own properties. Teresa's paintings are drawn from memories and abstracted such that the elements collate to form an emotional response using colour, rather than a literal interpretation. Her work calls upon her own experiences and childhood memories from Malta as source material. The metallic inks within the paintings change their appearance as the viewer navigates around the room, and in doing so creates different viewing experiences from multiple angles.

VIRGINIA Virginia was born in Mendoza, Argentina but she has travelled and lived in different cities and abroad, which not only made her search for “there must be more”, but also to understand that the only thing that remains in all of those places is the art and architecture. She completed her Master of Science in Architecture at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, since arts has many teachers as the source in it. Understanding that this is part of everyday life based on a tradition of values , which are timeless like the functionality, simplicity and beauty of all objects accompanied by a strong human and emotional burden, teaching her how to perceive our environment more sensitively and see the world from a different point of view. Therefore, through her paintings she expresses her feelings and thoughts, most of the time, inspired by music, as a representation of a “cloud constructor” of space and sensations that later are transferred, decoded into shapes, colours… leaving all the essence on the canvas. It is wonderful to see how something that comes from your mind creates a new world in others. That is one of the main elements that she wants to reflect, without a spectator and its own capability to see, to feel… the work wouldn’t “exist”.

ARIADNA A riadna is an artist living and working in London, UK. Through her upbringing in Siberia and travelling, she has discovered a connection to nature, which has become a source of inspiration for her evolving art practice. Ariadna is currently developing two bodies of work: “Basal Elements” in black and white and “Organic Wreaths” in colored inks. The creative process involves experimentation with techniques to imitate and amplify nature. Ariadna creates forms and textures that have a natural aesthetic and quality, reminiscent of organic cells, celestial structures, basic life forms or fossils. Due to the nature of materials and techniques used, the process of making is fluid and alive. The resulting forms and textures are partially chance and partially calculation; the outcome of both ceding the artist's control over the process and being acutely aware of the development of forms and textures. Just like in nature, every resulting element is unique and cannot be repeated. To complete her compositions, Ariadna uses a combination of cut-out and collage techniques. While echoing shapes of the ink elements, the cutouts represent their stark contrast, highlighting disparity between natural and artificial, valuable and hollow, existence and extinction, having and losing.

HENRYJ Henry is a London based artist who has been making his name in the global graffiti scene since 1997 when he first picked up a spray can. Since being a student at London's Central St Martins he has gone on to paint artwork all over the world, including; New York, Barcelona, Prague, Milan, across the UK and most notably Dubai, where he worked as part of a world renowned team of artists who successfully broke the Guinness World Record for the largest graffiti wall ever painted. Over the last 20 years he has taken inspiration from some of his favourite artists including Futura 2000 and Dondi as well as his own artistic surroundings. His more recent abstract expressionism work on canvas brings to light some of his influences from much loved artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Franz Kline, whilst maintaining the strong connection to his original art form.

SARAH N Sarah makes abstract oil paintings which in the physical world have very at surfaces and yet create an intense sense of depth and space. She Chooses pigments for the role they play in the history of trade and visual culture from the prehistoric era to the present day, so that the pigments hold a kind of quiet symbolism within a piece. She researches and paints in her studio every day. The act of making is an act of remembering. Her titles often reect these meanings. An invitation is extended to the viewer to fall into the spaces to get a little lost and to remember. Sarah has a long term interest in trade and its impact on people. She has an MSc in Development Studies, has lived and studied in China and travelled widely. She is interested in the way that trade impacts on people and place. Trade can be traced through the dispersal of pigment away from their geographical origins over the millennia. Visual culture gives us clues to earlier developments than the written word, seeming to suggest something universal in human experience and expression. Transforming these pigments into paintings is a daily task.

ALLAN Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties." Erich Fromm Allan paints in Cornwall, London and Wales. His work embraces abstract and figurative styles, painted in thick impasto oil, on large canvases with palette knives and squeegees. He says, "the power and texture of oil paint applied with a palette knife or squeegee, dictates I loosen up and chance plays a significant role"! Consistent with his postgraduate studies in psychology and surrealism, his consequent therapeutic work in the mental health and education professions, Allan’s working methodology is a faith in the artistic principle of creativity, as a fundamental coping device for healthy everyday living. The impasto palette knifed works of Sir Kyffin Williams and the squeegee paintings of Gerhard Richter influence Allan’s work. In particular Richter's polemic that "almost every work of art is an analogy" appeals to his sense of what it is to be human. "Art is making sense and giving shape to that sense. It is like the religious search for God." Gerhard Richter

JUDITH My recent work has been influenced by spending time in Cornwall and looking at the paintings of the St Ives artists, including Peter Lanyon. I have been using collage to experiment with creating a new dimension to the landscape, using line to give energy to, and to help capture the particular mood of, a place. I am continuing this idea with my work in paint on canvas too. In addition, I continue to draw from the figure, trying to keep the energy and essence of the pose. “These figures are not the hour long slog pursued in the academic life class, but have the feeling of imminent change and therefore truly ‘life'.” (Frank Low, Art Critic)

KATI Kati was born in Hong Kong, China in 1983 to an English Father and Australian Mother. She spent her early childhood in Shouson Hill on Hong Kong Island’s steep slopes and palm trees of Deep Water Bay. Her family moved to the UK for the majority of her education, with trips to Australia to indulge in family, culture and art, the relationship between the earth, the elements and expression being engraved at an early age. Mark making and creative expression being vital to existence. Aged 19, Kati moved to New York City where she worked with legendry designer Diane Von Furstenburg. She received her BA (Hons) from Ravensbourne College of Design & Communication in 2005 and later continued her study with The University of The Arts London. Following a diverse career as a fashion designer, she has worked for some of the world’s top luxury labels and international brands in London, New York and Asia. Her love of colour, combinations and expression intuitively draws her creative outlay to abstract painting. Kati moved from Brixton to Surrey in 2016 where she is part of the Studio 42 Collective, with whom she has started to exhibit and grow her practise.

BETH Internationally exhibited artist Beth studied Textile Design at The University of the West of England and graduated in 2004.From Bristol she moved to London for a little under a decade, working in costume for film, television and theatre and teaching arts and craft workshops. In 2009, Beth was offered a post as an Artist in residence at Wycombe Abbey School for Girls. The residency helped her focus and build a strong foundation for her practise, exploring both femininity and textures and introducing her to the concept of Wabi-Sabi. Returning to London in 2011 Beth has been exhibiting in art fairs and exhibitions both nationally and internationally since. �The foundation of my current body of work lies in the Japanese aesthetic of WabiSabi: exploring the beauty found within transience. From finding a rotting garment by a stream to a stream of consciousness, my current collection travels through ethereal, abstract landscape style paintings into figurative ink drawings that investigate the subconscious. My work is extremely cathartic. I spend hours slowly manipulating the ink to find the right composition and sometimes when its dry writing streams of consciousness on top of the work. The writing for me is an important element, as a dyslexic it can at times be a huge struggle, but at other times the thoughts flow and the time flies. My work therefore is about time and energy and expresses and exposes me as a person.�

RIKKE Beginning from research and intense conceptualising, Danish artist Rikke seeks the unknown mysteries in life. Considering all life forms and their basic similarities, she looks for balance in nature, and explores the light and the dark side of this organic process. In her artwork, Rikke invites the viewer for a journey through inner and outer spaces to bring both worlds into balance and observe them. She transforms emotions into unpredictable forms in her abstract paintings. At the moment of painting, Rikke is not sure of what will finally happen on canvas, leaving it up to chance. This results in a spontaneous element of expression, going with the flow and exploring many possibilities of visualisation. Using a microscope to study cell structures, she is intrigued by the darker aspects of organic and cellular life.

ANTONIO Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination is endless. Antonio was born in Italy in 1965, both parents were Sicilian and he spent his early years in Italy, moving back to England at the age of 13. His family roots in Sicily influenced his taste in art and music bringing a broad spectrum of culture, light, colour and sound which are evident in his work today.
For Antonio the link between art and music is intrinsic and the line between the two is blurred, he feels the music and paints his feelings. “I don't really know if I have an artist's statement or style, I don't really see the need. I love painting to music and I never know what I'm doing until I look at a blank canvas, and at that point the colours, music and inspiration hit me, and it all starts to flow. Art speaks for itself, especially abstract expressionism, why should I complicate things by expounding on how or why I do what I do? I paint what I paint based on how I feel, and I try to paint from my heart. I do my best to present movement, emotion, energy, and visual excitement. I never shy away from bold colours. Colour is life! Colours make people feel happy, and happiness is what life is all about.�

AMELIE AmĂŠlie is a French-Swiss artist. The origin of her work lies mainly in a questioning of memory, perception of landscape and the relationship between natural elements. Each light of a country, a place offering it a special harmony. It is in this sense she loves to travel, to find her first impression on things. To do this she needs to always have a fresh look. She searches for the first sensation, the feeling where the landscape she met expresses a truth. She has this need in her work to arrive at a neutral place, or a virgin place where everything needs to be felt for the first time. Therefore, moving from place to place, she always seeks the feeling of renewal. Her work over the last ten years has focused on water and aquatic landscapes and began in France in front of the grand spectacle of marine landscapes of the Atlantic coast, later in the more intimate, rivers and mountains in France and Spain. The memory of water is left by the more or less ephemeral footprints in other elements. Earth, rock, wind, are the memories of these flows.

FINTAN Fintan's method of painting is characterised by an immediacy of process and an urgency of vision, which he has been developing over several years. Despite the appearance of serendipity, Fintan's technique involves constant assessment, measurement and exploration of pigments and their configurations, combined with varnishes, oils and a variety of materials. The challenge that Fintan's art constitutes his motivation - that is to create resonances between or among the senses by exploiting the ever-changing detail of light and texture. His abstracts are worlds eliciting a multitude of emotional and intellectual responses that we, as viewers, must resolve. Fintan was born in Dublin and has spent his adult life in Ireland, Spain and Germany (his current home). His work has been exhibited and acquired by numerous collectors across North America, Europe and Australia, and featured in prominent residential projects in UK and USA.

LAURA B Laura is a London based Italian artist. She studied painting in Venice at the Academy of Fine Art and sculpture at TAM Art Metal-Working School in Pietrarubbia (PesaroUrbino), Italy, supervised by sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro. The tendency towards nothingness is inexorable and universal and even the things that have corporeity not have an illusion of stability. As things start to transform become more irregular and interesting. Nothing that exists is free of imperfections, and everything is in a constant state of becoming or dissolving. When things are close to non-existence become naturally more delicate and evocative. In my work, I am intrigued to see how science and art are connected; I try to strike a balance between painting, collage and installation. It revolves around the concept of Wabi-Sabi, transformation, time and connections. In my recent paintings I worked from a mix of papers and my own photographs, either transcribed intact or altered to create a new composition. Through the painting process I try gently to heighten the qualities in the picture that first caught my attention.

AISLING Aisling holds an MFA from Central Saint Martins, UK and a BFA (First Class Hons) from CAMM, IRE. She makes abstract oil paintings about the physical act of painting, the materiality of it as a medium and how it can be structured on canvas. Each painting is constructed to a point of completion through a process of paint layering and specific use of vinyl tape. It is then deconstructed through the removal of tape, revealing painted under and over layers; a method of finding and loosing the painting until visually robust. Aisling’s practice examines the consequence of the mark and the inevitable conversation it sparks; possible definites and definite failures. Her approach to painting is playful even irresponsible at times; a concoction of ultimate violation and ultimate indulgence. Aisling is the recipient of the Freyer Award in recognition of excellence for painting from the Royal Dublin Society Art Awards. She was shortlisted for the 2018 John Moore’s painting prize, Jacksons Open painting prize (commended entry) and the Visual Arts Open. State Magazine (issue 23) has listed her as ‘one to watch’, Fujitsu selected her for a 2017 ad campaign and the Good Art Guide (issue 4) chose her as their 2017 cover artist winner. Prior to commencing her Fine Art education, Aisling toured internationally with ‘Riverdance – The Show’ as an Irish dancer performing in over 400 cities covering 43 countries over 6 continents. The experience of working as a professional dancer emerges in her art through gestural and rhythmical applications of paint.

DOVILE My artistic practice is mostly driven by global contrasts and universal contradictions. I am interested in societal collectiveness and in personal transformative processes. I am fascinated by the subject of individualism and its place in the current social, socioeconomic and cultural environment. I aim to lead viewer’s attention into the greatest depths of his personal journey. I want to give the viewer an ability to engage his own opinion and thoughts on self-identity and societal collectiveness. I aim to execute the physical manipulation of materials in order to construct an imaginary allusion and ideological experience for the viewer. I try to keep dynamism and static structure in subtle balance, so to lift the viewer from his own reality and stereotypes, and to involve him into an interpretation game. I want to create an unavoidable approach to an engaging perspective, to develop a space for perception. I am extremely interested in awakening of my artwork. I am inspired by the idea, that the artwork could initiate a dialogic and highly sensory relationship between itself and the viewer.

JARED Jared is a London based artist. Following a prominent career as a fashion stylist that spanned over a decade, Jared’s focus turned to a career in art. While his work as a stylist ultimately focused on achieving visual perfection, his art draws on the very opposite, celebrating not the flawlessness, but the flaw. It demonstrates a visceral rawness that nonetheless retains a haunting beauty through its composition. His work is boldly expressive. Texture and the use of unassuming mediums are played with in a refreshing way. Layering mediums at first appear aggressive, but subtly so. Jared's recent works are inspired by his love of renaissance Italian architecture and the aging Palazzos of Milan and Florence. Peeling, cracked walls offer a refined rawness. Hidden layers are revealed with striking elegance. Applying various mediums to create age and texture, there is something alluring about the passage of time made visible. Jared’s art works evoke a feeling, a feeling he lets you stumble upon as you are guided on a journey.

FERNANDO Fernando is a contemporary Spanish painter whose otherworldly canvases blur the boundaries between imagination and reality. The artist’s bold, ethereal compositions explore grand themes of time, light and the human condition. 'I believe that my paintings encapsulate life,' says Fernando. We love the artist’s swirling, mystical style and the way his subject matter moves in and out of distinction across the canvas. Fernando’s works are poetry in paint form. For a time Fernando worked from a studio in Hackney. The artist has since relocated to Dorset, where he paints in almost total seclusion. For Fernando, painting is more than technique and intention – it is an 'endless journey towards light'. The artist has enjoyed a long career and his work is held in collections across the world, from Spain and the UK to China and the US. In 2013, Fernando was the exhibition prize-winner at the Dorchester Open. The following year he was a finalist for both the Evolver Prize at the Atkinson Gallery in Somerset and the Tribe Prize at Bath’s Edgar Modern

MARC Marc was born in Neuilly sur Seine, France, in 1964. Growing up in Paris, he began playing the flute at a young age and went on to train as a concert musician at the Paris Conservatoire. However while music, with its foundation of tone and composition, provided him the means for expression, it would ultimately be in painting that he found his creative voice. Continuing to study and refine his craft, Marc first saw his work exhibited in Boston in 1987. The next year, he moved to New York City, where he began work on a series of figurative, large-format oil paintings on canvas. Born out of this exploration, his style began to evolve into looser and more abstracted narratives that often combined landscape with figuration. He also began to experiment with different materials and techniques. His resulting process of applying paint with trowels and knives onto wood panels marked the beginning of a new direction in the artist’s work. From 1990 until 2010, Marc remained in New York and exhibited extensively in galleries in Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco, New York, and Paris, establishing a collector base. Marc currently lives is London where his primary studio is located and divides his time between New York City and the south of France. His works are in the private collections worldwide.

CRISPIN Following his studies in BA(Hons) Fine Art, Crispin furthered his creative knowledge by working for several years in the graphic design and print making industries. He returned full time to his first passion of painting in 2015 and continues to produce stunning work from his SW London studio. Crispin’s interest lies in the definition of form and application of colour theory to create intriguing and challenging compositions. His thought process is inspired by everyday visual experiences and the idiosyncratic nature of human observation. All of his work is conceived and drawn on paper before being painted by hand onto canvas or board. Particular attention is then paid to the finer details of edge definition and tonal consistency until the paintings are as flawless as can be achieved. Crispin’s paintings are process heavy, meticulously produced and extremely precise. His methods result in bold, striking images that provoke the viewer to question what they see, bringing visual pleasure and igniting individual reflection. "Where the Old Masters created an illusion of space into which one could imagine walking, the illusion created by a Modernist is one into which one can look, can travel through, but only with the eye." Clement Greenberg

MALAIKA Malaika was born in Nairobi in 1990. As a child, her parents' work for an international financial institution meant that she moved frequently between countries - initially relocating from Kenya to Canada, and later to the United States, India, the Cote d'Ivoire and France. She gained a sense of stability in the midst of this hectic upbringing by developing an interest in art, first piqued by her grandfather, a self-taught painter. Having completed her secondary education in Paris, she moved to London to study Fine Arts at Goldsmiths. The prevailing ‘laissez-faire' philosophy at the art-school, one that encouraged its students to experiment artistically, was embraced by Malaika as a welcome change from the rigid French education system. It was at Goldsmiths that she had a breakthrough moment after peeling off a piece of dried acrylic paint from her shoe. Realising that she had found a novel way of working with paint, she set about deliberately producing dried acrylic to incorporate directly into her art. Currently, acrylic is the only medium that Malaika uses. By peeling, tearing or cutting the paint after it has dried, Malaika is able to create ‘acrylic leaf' that can be layered on to a surface similarly to gold leaf; it is a recurring motif in many of the works on display in this exhibition. Once produced, the acrylic leaf is stuck on to canvas - a technique inspired by the work of Wangechi Mutu, a Brooklyn-based Kenyan artist perhaps best known for her large-scale collages. Malaika cites her as being a formative influence, an artist who has expanded her own appreciation of the artistic merits of collage

BEATRIZ A Spanish artist currently living in London, Beatriz is inspired by her surroundings and translates the energy and visual information of her dairy life into her work using colour as her personal language. The colour in Beatriz’s work seems a spontaneous emission, as if she had transmitted her emotions directly onto canvas through the mere act of breathing. The viewer, in turn, is drawn into the vortexes of movement in her images, yet they offer points of seductive languor along the way, in the presence of floral shapes opening outward, clouds that provide moments of rest, and other suggestive elements. At the same time, Beatriz’s paintings feature a strong sense of depth, which derives from her knowledge of architecture—the field in which she began her career—and the importance to her of the landscape of her hometown of Santander, Spain. While her work always references landscape or spatial depth, she avoids the presence of a horizon line. Thus departing from classical conceptions of space, she creates dialogues between different spatial planes, allowing viewers to find their own road maps. Her use of colour spots, drips, and splatters convey her fearless and intuitive process while making all of the elements in these imaginary worlds seem to be alive. Evoking Abstract Expressionism, Colour Field Painting, and Spanish painterly traditions, Beatriz’s canvases reference today’s sensory overload experienced with a rare unfiltered and raw openness.
