Bola Adamolekun

_Inspired by fantasy and mythology and infused with the passion for romantic and quirky architecture, Adamolekun effectively produces pieces drenched in a rich and wide rainbow of colours and dripping in intriguing detail. Her stories are bold, bright and straddle the organic and the abstract.

Laura Bello

_Laura Bello’s work is influenced by her fascination with all aspects of nature. She was born in South America and it was during her early visits to the El Tablazo Mountains that she first fell in love with nature. Bello explores the energy of Mother Earth in paintings inspired by her native Colombia.

Judith Bieletto

_Judith’s current work explores nocturnal landscapes, based on her personal experiences when walking during the hours of darkness in different parts of Europe. 'Every day I ventured into the unexplored darkness of the forest before dawn and, as I hurried along, I savoured the atmosphere with a mixture of wonder and fright.'

Michael Blow

_Michael was trained as a stone mason at Gloucester Cathedral working only by hand in traditional techniques and towards the end of his apprenticeship he was taught carving techniques. Since then he has worked on a wide variety of projects and commissioned sculptures. His work follows a number of themes – physics, waves and the interception of planes (geometric planes).

Stephanie Brunton

_Stephanie's paintings often involve an investigation into the identity of people. 'Faces fascinate me and I believe they tell us a story of the person they belong to. This story can of course be manipulated and it is this power to convey meaning that keeps me painting them.'

Carlos de Lins

_Carlos explores the relationship between modern city-dwellers and the giant concrete and glass edifices which delimit their horizons. He is particularly intrigued by the contradictory emotions evoked for him by such buildings where a sense of awe at their majestic scale and thrilling geometry often co-exists with feelings of emptiness and desolation.

Julie Eccles

_Julie is constantly exploring fresh ideas, taking on board whatever has inspired her and developing it creatively through the lens.  However, recurring themes of landscapes, architecture and organic forms are to be found in her portfolio.  Alongside these the elements of colour, line, shape and texture are often evident.

Enrique Gavilanes

_Enrique's work has developed in series in which a diversity of layers of meaning, references and ideas interplay. He often recalls memories of his aesthetic experience of nature and the landscape of the Galician seashore. His current body of work evokes  a subjective sense of imaginary ancestors, trans-cultural connexions, especially between Africa, India and Europe.

Nick Hazzard

_Chance and order, chaos and control are central to Nick's work. This is linked to his interest in chaos theory which is having an impact in areas as different as health, education, and the stock market. In his work a painting is carefully planned but often changes as it progresses. Accidents are embraced, sometimes taking the work in a new and exciting direction.

Stephanie Herbert

_Stephanie's practice explores being alive. 'Whether we’re searching for something to give life purpose and meaning, passing through experiences joyful or difficult, engaging with past, present or future, art can express this existential puzzle powerfully and completely.'

Juli Jana

_Juli's love of life, the outdoors and all that is different is expressed in her work. She captures the joy and light of the subject. Her paintings are alive with colour and line and can express a fantastical or playful quality.

Martin Masterson

_Martin is compelled by the urge to investigate material and allow it to manifest its own nature; the doubt and exhilaration he encounters while engaged in a piece of work, these also contribute to the final outcome.

Valerie G. Montgomery

_Valerie is currently working in acrylic, spray paint, glitter and crystals on canvas. In this body of work she aims to celebrate familiar iconographies of historical female social culture and performance including references to the ballet, masquerade and cinema.

Chandra Morar

_Chandra’s socio-political interests clearly emerge in the current series of works, highlighting issues such as climate change, gender-selection of new-born, financial crisis and greed, and the weakness of Western political systems and politicians.

Laura Reiter

_Laura is excited especially by the interaction of colours and textures on the picture plane. She is inspired by visits to exotic places (Mexico, Morocco, Bali and Peru) enjoying the visual impact of the various cultures shown in the buildings, wall markings and patterns on textiles.

Renee Rilexie

_Painting, Music and Movement, Writing and Poetry are all part of Renee's ongoing life. Expression of emotions at any level through the arts initiates the discovery and rediscovery of oneself. Nature, energy, vibrations and colours intermingle to express her immediate emotions. Each painting is a journey, bringing awareness, spiritual growth and unravels the human spirit in motion.

Wendy Roberts

_Wendy's deep appreciation of the natural world has stayed with her from her roots in the West Country. She uses plant imprints, pouring, eroding, and wiping to form images in her etchings and monotypes. She blends past and present to create etched images in emotive colours.

Alexis van El

_Alexis' current work was inspired initially by a fascination with the structures and forms produced on tree trunks where they had been wounded by the lopping of branches. She deliberately pushes the imagery further, welcoming the similarities to labial forms and celebrating those associations.
