HARRY BRIOCHE Born in the Seychelles in 1965, Harry Brioche is of Creole and American parentage. He had a wonderful childhood growing up on the island of Mahe, until his family was forced to flee in 1977 following a coup d’état. Harry Brioche attended Art College, but after being given an ultimatum to conform with the college’s style and painting methods or leave, he decided to strike out on a career in illustration and graphic design. He went on to have great commercial success setting up his own company and working with global brands, such as Coca Cola, BAE Systems and Doc Martens. In terms of his painting Harry is largely self-taught. Harry is fascinated by the beauty of the English landscape with its ever-changing weather patterns and atmospheric conditions, which are in sharp contrast to the tropical idyll of his youth. It is this atmosphere and mood created by the light which is his inspiration and which he portrays so well in his pictures, showing the spirit of a landscape or scene. Harry exhibits widely and his work can be found in collections around the world.

PAUL TREASURE Paul Treasure was born in 1961 in Gloucestershire and studied at Cheltenham College of Art. He then moved to London where he worked from his studio in Holborn as an established and highly regarded artist, taking on commissions for public works of art worldwide, as well as for private clients. In 1991 Paul took a year’s sabbatical to paint whilst travelling the world, this journey took him through Africa, India, Southeast Asia and Central America. On his return he moved to Hampshire where he had several solo sell-out shows exhibiting these works. Following this, in 1993, he was commissioned to be expedition artist on the first ever crossing of the Taklamakan Desert in North West China for three months, after which he exhibited these works at various shows, including the Royal Geographical Society in London. Paul’s style is expressive, energetic and full of colour. His paintings capture the feeling and emotion of a place, whilst depicting the interplay between light, land, water and sky. His dramatic interpretations of the English landscape show his response to the ever-changing seasons, weather and light; and his bold use of palette knife, brush strokes and mixed media, result in distinctive mark-making, culminating in vigorous, textured landscapes. Paul continues to exhibit around the country, whilst still travelling abroad regularly to find inspiration for his paintings. His most recent work is inspired by the landscapes and coastal areas of England, including his recent works which are around the chalk streams of the Test Valley.

JAKE WINKLE Born in 1964 Jake Winkle did a foundation course at Bournemouth College of Art in 1984, before going on to study Expressive Arts at Brighton Polytechnic. Graduating in 1987, and after a spell in industry, he became a full time artist and began to focus on watercolour painting. Now specialising in this medium, Jake practices it at its most direct and uncluttered. Particularly inspired by colour and movement his subject matter is frequently rendered as simple silhouettes or slabs of colour and tone and is a reflection of the world around him. He is well known for his watercolours of racing subjects. He has been a finalist in ‘Not the Turner Prize’ competition and exhibits widely in London and all over the South of England, including at the Mall Galleries and the Royal Society of British Artists. Jake has been the subject of a profile in The Artist Magazine, to which he also contributes. As well as exhibiting regularly he has undertaken many commissions, both private and public, including for The National Trust. Jake also teaches and runs watercolour workshops and demonstrations in the South of England.
