Simon Mcneill

Simon Mcneill’s work is an exploration into mass, and the familiarity of unfamiliar objects and states of material. Using the flow of fabric and the folds that occur in paper when left to fold in itself, Simon's work aims, at times, to set solid these waving forms. Simon's work touches on the macabre, the work being influenced by his personal life, drawing on struggle within his family and using traditional methodologies to create sculpture that aims to make the personal universal.

Mariya Garbacheva

Mariya is using paint beyond its image making qualities, she is curious about its physicality and the transformation from liquid to something fixed.  Rather then adding or taking away from the support in a conventional manner her process consist of pouring substance over and then separating it from the surface of the support. Mariya’s practice has developed out of practical and theoretical concerns with paint and explores the intersection between painting and sculpture, questioning the role of the support and the relationship of the painting to the wall, where the painted element is no longer attached to or dependent upon the support.

Lydia Reeves

An exploration of male and female, masculine and feminine. The soft and delicate, juxtaposed with the strong and powerful, where two worlds collide, and perhaps create harmony. Through the act of painting and carefully considered display, Lydia Reeves reinterprets crude, sexualised imagery photographed by the subjects, and gives them a whole new meaning. They are no longer aggressive and intimidating photographs, but romantic, beautiful creations which entice the viewer in to study every aspect. Lydia aims to keep her work open-ended on the surface whilst raising social and gender related issues. Working with the miniature, Lydia really feels as though it forms an intimate and physically close relationship between the viewer and subject. “A lot of my paintings produce this attract and then repel notion of being drawn in by the beauty and technicality of the painting and really wanting to look, but then suddenly being aware of what you’re looking at and realising that you’ve been staring at a penis for an uncomfortable amount of time…”

Henry Boxall 

Henry's practice is inspired by a variety of interests from architecture, abstract painting, Graphic and Illustrative design through to street art and graffiti culture. His curious personality leads him through the inner workings of objects and is exposed through the detailed medium of drawing and printmaking, as well as painting and large scale sculpture. He has a strong interest in elements of vandalism and protest within art, adopting some of the techniques and styles from this.  His work often engages in a very linear and mathematical way, as well as painting and creating abstract colourful works drawing from things that inspired him personally like comic book imagery, which stems from his childhood. By using materials and tools that are cheap and easy to come by as well as non-traditional, his work is often driven by circumstance. Henry has a strong connection with being outside, collecting scraps and objects to make work from and using whatever is to hand in order to create large scale, abstract pieces. His most recent work addresses the ‘quick fix’ that is provided by superheroes in comic books and the impossible application to contemporary, global issues.

Hannah Bowles

Hannah Bowles believes nature shows us a beauty that exceeds our imagination; the forms in nature are unique and cannot be easily reproduced. This endows them with mysterious beauty.  Nature has always been the root of Hannah's practice. Her love for flora and fauna, animals, organic, naturally made forms and materials such as, feathers, bone, fossil, crystals and wood have always inspired her.  She explores the relationship between man and nature. The work is a celebration of our wildlife; promising eternal life to elements which would otherwise go to waste.

Alison Clare

Alison Clare has a preoccupation with the body in juxtaposition with modes of order; this generally takes the form on instilling an unnatural order on her body by taking urine samples at regular intervals, these samples are then used with pH indicator to make paintings. Her most recent work looks at piss as a material within painting; how colour change reflects interior bodily change and how the marks find their own discourse. The works exist both as installation and as finished paintings, however these both create a different experience for the viewer, as an onlooker and as someone who is present for the creation of the paintings. Piss is universal; it is genderless, raceless, classless and ageless. Clare intends to make work that is accessible, it strongly reflects the relationship the artist has with her own body while at the same time she hopes to create a sense of embodiment within the viewer.

Francesca Fugl 

Francesca Fugl creates tactile works which explores the dis-location of culture. Primarily working with human hair, using this medium for creating tactile objects which reference ethnicity and cultural differences. Through her work she aims to give a unique insight into this issue, which is outside of our daily understanding and experiences.  Her current practice is heavily influenced by textile materials and processes. She has drawn great inspiration from her surrounding family, who have now become an increasingly influential and integral part of her subject matter. Furthering her knowledge and understanding by exploring and studying their cultural history.
