Rachel Deacon

Since graduating from Chelsea School of Art in 1991, Rachel has exhibited extensively in London, the UK and internationally. Her distinct style of work has grown enormously in popularity and she has been published and distributed world wide.Rachel begins her work with a carefully selected narrative, a short story, poem or extract from which she gains inspiration. Her work is not illustrative of that text, but draws on the sentiment or ideas. She explores dimensions, pattern and composition through drawings before creating the final image. Focusing mainly on the female figure, shapes and contours of the body are used to create a strong physical and spatial arrangement, and layers of rich colours bring about shadow and an ambience of light.Her `women` are self assured and provocative and often convey an inner strength suggested within the text. Naturally, through her inspiration, her paintings have a sense of narrative within them, a suggestion of a moment stolen in time, and are thoughtful or seductive.

Pip Dickens

With influences as diverse as the music of Handel, the writings of Camus and the landscape of Iceland, Pip Dickens` stunning and visually seductive works are produced by an equally diverse range of techniques. Works such as `Iceland I` are created by applying to a black ground layer after layer of translucent white, resulting in a rich, luminous effect. `Ebb and Flow` however, relies on a combination of layering and scoring the works surface, continually adding and then removing paint. With a Masters in Fine Art from London`s prestigious Slade School, Dickens has exhibited extensively over the last 5 years. She is a nominee for Jerwood Contemporary Painters 2009, has forthcoming major solo exhibition at Cartwright Hall Bradford Aug-Nov 2010
