ewitt uses symbolic narrative to explore the notion of reality and fiction. Her paintings are presented as environments of connecting plots or pieces within a larger narrative, transforming the gallery walls into an experience reminiscent of children’s pop-up books and adventure stories. In her works she particularly draws on references from the contemporary Japanese Kawaii culture.

Playing with notions of memory, loss and transience, Nicky Hodge creates paintings of half-remembered landscapes: people isolated on streets, objects remembered from childhood, parts of roof tops and planes fading into backgrounds seem like left over narratives or pieces of lived life passing ‘through’ them. Taking Polaroids in parks and flower beds she deliberately moves her camera to produce blurred images, which are then used as source material for her, idiosyncratic and poignant paintings.
She studied at Central St Martin’s College of Art and lives and works in London. Selected exhibitions include: Sense and Nonsense, Danielle Arnaud, London; Picturesque, Tullie House. |

Central to Dobson’s practice is the German word “Verfremdung” implying an approach to representation which instead of being a response to the real visual world and its meaning, exists on its own terms. In his paintings, object impressions made on wet layers of acrylic paint are manipulated by subsequently applying several layers of thin paint, with an allusion to pixilation.. He lives and works in London and studied at Reading University. In 1997 he won the Logos Prize; in 2002, 2004 was shortlisted for John Moore’s; and, in 1998 for the Jerwood Painting Prize.
Selected exhibitions include:
2004 Art Bond, London. 2003: Bettie Morton Gallery, London; Brixton Open, London. |
