John Timberlake's images - a combination of painting, photography and sculpture - explore imagined places in a playful manipulation of the historical truth and utopian fantasy of science fiction. He is perhaps most well-known for 'Another Country', a series of images depicting traditional English romantic landscapes, undermined by the sinister...

I see myself primarily as a still life painter, using seemingly everyday objects to express my own eccentric, and fanciful visions of the world around me.  My work is influenced by the Dutch still life painters of the 17th Century, painters like Pieter Caesz and Willem Kalf, and contemporary artists like Ralph Goings.  Photography is an...

The work examines the subjective experience of the domestic interior exploring the dialogue between perception and mimesis. Emerging from the realm of the reverie the work captures an uncertain third place located between waking and dreaming where experience meets memory and the familiar slips disturbingly into the unfamiliar to induce a...

My work is predominately three dimensional and of an emotional range. The collected, recycled and purchased materials used formulate a dialogue within the works overall concept. These materials show texture, surface quality, tactile qualities, and the quality of light on various surfaces. I combine my skills of preparation, investigation,...

Intrinsic to my work are the details and scenes, the fragilities and brutalities, of contemporary human existence. I combine a documentary approach with staging and construction creating both accounts of the real world, and self-contained fictions. I utilise found occurrences taken from newspaper articles, stories, conversations or everyday life...

People don’t remember each tree in a park but all of us benefit from the trees. And in a way artists are like trees in a park. - Yoko Ono, 1999 My work is inspired by the relationship between people and nature: focusing on natural forces and the energy of growth, within and against human construct. Practice benefits from...

I live and work in Kent, and always take my materials with me when I travel. I work with landscapes, from which I draw my inspiration. I love colour and texture and in my work am always attempting to use these elements to create a harmonious balance. I enjoy working in an experimental way with different materials, and different methods of applying...

My work is derived from contemplation of garment template contours, because of their connotations to the human figure.  These elegant abstract forms also relate to the found object tradition in Fine Art, and this is something I have also been influenced by.  Industrial, and machine forms, reflecting on human ingenuity, and resonant of the...

Art depicting the landscape has been increasingly regarded with suspicion during the last 40 or so years, and is seen by many in urban art circles as being sentimental and passé. As I live and work in Cornwall, a relatively remote, non-urban part of the UK, this is problematic. I would argue that our experience of the landscape,...

For his MA exhibition Nim showed three videos. In 'Untitled', 2006 he is featured as a solitary, strident walker towards a romantic sunset. In 'Kunstparameter' he is a runner on a journey while in 'Float' he films through a car windscreen as the car is transported across a river. The journey is important, as is the performance element. Chung...

I am interested in the crossover between painting and sculpture, more specifically with the relationship between the surface of a work and its objectness. Alongside this I am fascinated by light and landscape; by the vastness of sky, sea and land. My work aims not to represent these but to create quiet and contemplative works that evoke the...

The work I make often alludes to objects from a past time, through a playful and experimental process of collage and collection, the experience of the everyday world is gathered and organised within new forms of art works. These works present raw elements of contemporary living combined with borrowed visual styles from past civilisations. ...

Positioned at the juncture of painting, photography and performance, the work of Lia Chavez is suffuse with experiments in form, combining sensation-centered techniques, such as improvisational dance, and liminal materials, such as light or body sensations. But formal experimentation is not an end in itself. Rather, the journey toward...

'Macdonald's deceptively naive paintings narrate a numinous land of dreams, filled with witty imagistic juxtapositions and happy surprises. Sincerity sustains her visions, yet real pictorial savvy makes her compositions compelling for their formal qualities as well as for her wonderfully upbeat sensibility' (Taplinger, M., Gallery & Studio,...

My practice is concerned with breaking down things that exist and reconfiguring them. The starting points are generally landscape and the environment; magazines and photographs; design, colour and /or the domestic. Frequently parts or whole collections of earlier work(s) are reused, or function as a new starting point which is...

In my work I explore the compositional possibilities created by figures in an urban environment. Elevated viewpoints are used to transform pavements into backdrops for strong, pictorial compositions. Atmospheric, frozen moments are created from everyday scenes, often exploiting strong sunlight, shadows and the muted tones of winter. Silent...

Townley and Bradby make interventions, performance walks and artists' books. Townley and Bradby's practice explores the routines and rituals of urban public spaces. By carefully combining place, action and props, they feel for the bounds of what is permissible, or for the level at which an intervention ceases to be invisible and rises...

The handling of oil paint is evocative, startling and refreshing, challenging the distinctions between the painter’s and the photographer’s art, as well as between abstract and figurative image-making. Her forms suggest other forms, her structures other scales and ways of seeing; her scenes hint at other, yet vaster landscapes,...

My work is concerned with an emotional response to the natural world, particularly the relationship between light and dark.  I paint semi abstract landscapes which are not intended to represent specific places, but instead suggest an idealised or mythical place onto which the viewer can project their own feelings.  My paintings relate...

Concepts Through painting, drawing, collage and construction my current work develops an ongoing interest in visual perception where foregrounds and backgrounds hold an ambiguous relationship to create certain levels of flatness.
