Roland Hicks Roland Hicks makes paradoxical paintings and objects that look like minimal abstract assemblages – apparently slightly crudely stapled together from offcuts of various types of chipboard. Sometimes these pieces also create a simple illusion of a three dimensional geometric solid, or of one form sitting in front of a shadow form behind it….

Kirsty Harris I explore nuclear explosions as cultural, historical and iconic symbols. Referencing the scale, beauty and abhorrent nature of the atom bomb I delve into the periphery of the subject, the myths, characters and surrounding evidence. I works across a wide range of media from vast oil paintings, tapestries, projections and audioscapes to delicate…

Juliette Losq Juliette Losq’s paintings depict civilisation dissolving slowly back into nature. Her scenes present the industrial outskirts of urban environments that have been abandoned and gradually find themselves rewilded. In creating her compositions Juliette constructs physical models like miniature theatres or dioramas, with layers of paper suggesting both the accretion of time and the…

Marius von Brasch For a long time, I have been captivated by both the potential and the fact of change, transformation and metamorphosis. The often unpredictable outcomes of such developments – abrupt or gradual, chosen or reinforced – can evoke fear as much as new perceptions of life. At their core, they are intricately linked to…

Lesley Bunch Overall my paintings are a visual language resisting verbal interpretation, untied to literal meaning, an ‘absented presence’. They sit silently in the globalised, unanchored, over-information that we increasingly drift in. For my Shadow Sculpture series I borrow ‘casting objects’ that are invested with their lenders’ emotions, memories, and sense of identity. I interview…
