Royal College of Art graduate, Vasiliki Gkotsi creates her works by in turn scraping away and bleeding paint into the canvas. The resulting paintings possess a sinister beauty, reminiscent of stripped tree bark or skin under a microscope. |

Whilst on a recent visit to Cuba, Gerry became interested in drawing groups of people and their relationship within spaces. He was hugely impressed by the Art Gallery in Havana, a wonderfully spacious building, and became fascinated by the grouping and movement of figures within that space. He sat and drew as ideas presented themselves. Neither the figure nor the place, as individually recognisable elements,was important but the way in which the figures were either partly absorbed in the shadows or thrown into relief in the strongly lit areas became the intent of the drawings.The balance of shapes within an ambiguous space provided him with the material for the resultant paintings, completed on his return to the studio, and which form the basis of his continuing exploration of this theme.His travels always offer new perspectives to his thinking as a painter and even the early morning return to Gatwick airport with its moving shimmers of illumination, sparked off another avenue of discovery.And what about the girls he met! |

The work of Victoria Horkan is at once familiar and fiercely contemporary. Abstract shapes and brooding colours blend to create works which depict the emotion and the substance of the modern world. Her pieces breathe with a light and life missing from so many of her contemporaries, with the motion and movement depicted through the smallest details. Horkan continues to develop a name for herself in modern art exhibiting alongside the likes of Marc Chagall, Horkan promises to leave an impressive mark on Birtish Contemporary Art. |

Montague`s pastels on paper are quirky takes on modern day living. Her subjects, placed within a distorted space are appealingly awkward, transforming the banal into the extraordinary. Montague has been selected to exhibit in prestigious shows such a the London Group at the Camden Arts Centre, the White Chapel Gallery and South Bank Show, Royal Festival Hall. |

A trained graphic designer from Newcastle Polytechnic Stuart now paints with a nod to wards Beryl Cook`s narrative style of painting. The purpose of his art is basically to make people smile and feel happy hence the ridiculous concept of a seagull body guard who takes himself and his duties very seriously as he looks after Penny. |
