Lisa Ivory Lisa Ivory’s landscapes are commonly occupied by a Wildman, who occasionally interacts with a female human figure. There is a Rake’s Progress of sorts, with a skeletal Death figure interrupting the discourse between these characters. The Beast attempts sympathetic magic by scrawling images into the landscape. These exchanges occur in a shadowland —…

Benjamin Deakin My recent body of work is largely represented by paintings of modest interiors looking out at Himalayan mountains-capes. These works continue my enduring interest in landscape and mountains as subjects in art but which increasingly use windows and interior space to explore spatial possibilities in painting. By including the mountains as a constant…

Graham Crowley I paint shadows. I’m intrigued by luminosity in painting. This is the driving force behind LIGHT INDUSTRY*. I’ve always been fascinated by those of Manet. The way in which the image and the painting (as its own object) can be seen simultaneously – fused together as a singleluminous entity. This remarkable duality is…

Lara Davies Lara’s paintings are a direct response to the environment she inhabits. Her paintings act as photograms, absorbing the life around her, be it the communal existence of her shared house in London, or the wilderness of the Highlands when she is bike-packing. Paint is applied in thin layers to create a mottled surface,…

Jenny Eden Emerging from a process of close making and the complex relationship between two active ‘objects of being’, my paintings embody the potential for visual and psychological oscillation. The exchange between painter and painting arrives at curious and insubstantial ‘part-objects or creatures’ and atmospheric spatial-fields, where ‘thingly’ qualities operate simultaneously on and in the…

Katie Pratt Katie Pratt’s paintings generate emergent patterns that emanate from chaotic beginnings and then – through the painting process – develop an idiosyncratic internal logic. Systems are designed in response to chance and gestural features in the painted ground. Each painting develops its own set of rules that accumulate over time and give rise…

Mindy Lee I make autobiographical paintings exploring intimate family moments around motherhood, family, death, and a shifting sense of self. They often flicker between love and loss, play and conflict. I use these fluctuations to move from the familiar into something strange and more uncertain. Figures are loosely formed and fragmented, leaving them open and…

Robbie Bushe I reimagine places and invent narrative scenarios within a cinematic context, often celebrating the tropes found in science fiction film and TV. I paint from memory, deduction and invention embracing the physical act, helping me recall half-forgotten events and imagery. My early work focused on domesticity and modern family life. I grew up…

Miranda Boulton Boulton is fascinated by Flower Paintings from Art History. She re imagines a genre once seen as superficial, feminine and slight. Flowers make sense to her, they cover the monumental and the everyday, alive, beautiful, decaying, dying, haunting, life affirming, poignant, reassuring, always at the height of their beauty they fade away. Circling…
