Stephen Snoddy Snoddy wants viewers to look at the relationships between his works, and how he carries lines and formats from one picture over to another. He sometimes regards two consecutive paintings as a diptych, with left and right-hand panels forming parts of a composite whole. There is an obsessive commitment to playing out endless…

Molly Thomson Molly Thomson’s work concerns the performance of the painting as an object. She is interested in conditions that confine, resist and limit, and in what happens when those given conditions are subject to question and boundaries are breached. Rules are set and rules are broken. The object evolves through the challenging and reordering…

Judith Tucker 1960-2023 Judith Tucker’s work explores the meeting of social history, personal memory and geography; it investigates their relationship through drawing, painting and writing. The paintings here are excerpts from two recent series.The first series of paintings: Night Fitties explore the play of light and dark and the uncanny transformations of the chalets on…

Jeff Dellow 1949-2024 In painting I have an approach to open-ended composition with a view to integrating various elements into a pictorial field of development. This gradually allows the identity of the work to emerge. It is itself but relationships may also have implications in my experience. The identity of the work, its light and…

Every…

Like many of his 19th and 20th century forebears, he spends a large amount of his time travelling, sketching and painting outdoors. Whilst this is where his artistic process begins, it…

Susan Gunn “In Gunn’s paintings there is a subtle tension between the golden section formalism of their geometry and the unruliness of the free-form cracking.

Joe Packer Joe Packer’s recent paintings could be described as invented landscapes with a psychological element. These paintings try to evoke the memory of a place, whilst simultaneously, they evolve through making processes that are not preplanned or prescriptive. The resulting images aim to visually function in a self -contained way, with a kind of…

David Sullivan The works I engage with in the studio are framed by the political traditions of Realism and the problem is always the same – to discover the complex set of conditions, the emergent phenomena that make for successful painting – so that an individual work contains its own bounded poetry, its own world,…

James Quin These paintings address what might be considered a reasonably straightforward question: what, if anything, can be achieved in painting from what is often perceived to be a most unpromising strategy for the visual artist – that of repetition? The emergence of repetitive strategies in my own painting practice generated a body of ongoing…
