UNLOCKED is an exhibition which showcases recent work by three artists: Ali Shipton, Sally Manning and Karen Colley. Their work includes paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture and reflects on personal and artistic freedom.
Ali Shipton - works mostly from observation through the Circus of Life and Place. Her work is expressed through oils, acrylic and clay, and ranges in style, colour, beauty and fear. An emerging artist, always learning.
Sally Manning - uses erasure and redrawing, responding to elements of accident and surprise. Her work alternates between figurative and abstract and colour is an important part of her practice. Her recent paintings are developed using thick paint, colour and overpainting.
Karen Colley - makes predominantly drawing based work using different materials and approaches. Her recent work relates to views and memories of a familiar landscape which has become the subject for exploring space, media and abstract elements.

Israeli Contemporary Art 13-24 December 2021 Private View: Tuesday 14 December 6-9pm
In an age where man has become a programmer, undermining the humanity of our brains, and in light of technological advancement and the spirit-matter clash, with no precise formula in place, everything is up in the air, making it hard to define what is art.
As part of the creative process, the artist is faced with inner struggles and choices, which are supposed to bring her closer to herself, to evoke and unleash feelings, experiences and inhibitions, in the form of manifest or latent messages. By the end of this process, we, as viewers, are meant to connect by identifying a high level of emotion, manifested in colors, which reflect the inner, human aspect of the artists, as well as their high technical command, shot through with personal and universal contents.
This exhibition constitutes the coming-together of a team of artists, each with their own signature style and technique that set them apart as individuals and members in a group that represents Israeli art, putting forth the collective message: We are all human beings and must learn to live together.
And what better way than the culture of human creation, or a tool more efficient than the art that incorporates the creative spirit, reminding us that we are all just one big family?
As a curator, consultant and artistic director, and above all, as a human, I believe that art brings human hearts closer together, prompting our inner human artist, regardless of sex, race or religion.
It is my honour to serve as a curator and collaborator in a talented, diverse, unique group of artists who represent Israeli culture with their works, and evoke the creative and human spirit in the Israeli and universal culture. (Rami Azzam, I.C.U. Art Director)
