Cathy Lomax’s practice is rooted in the romance of popular culture, assimilating media fictions and mythologies of fame into a seductive story- telling process. Photography is the source material through which she re-invents her wish-list of popular icons- particularly from English history and contemporary culture.
She studied at Central St Martins, London; is the editor of Art Fanzine Arty and Garageland; and runs Transition Gallery. Selected exhibitions include: 2006 Vignettes: Sad stories of beauty, exploitation and prestige, Rosy Wilde; 2004 She's No Angel, James Coleman; Girl on Girl, Transition Gallery, London. |

With an almost dispassionate sociological gaze, Hancock engages in the critical examination of contemporary subcultures, specifically Youth Culture and teenage rebellion. Influenced by gothic romanticism and pop culture he creates hyper-real paintings portraying his sitters’ personal spaces- at once a Bohemia and an everyday scene.
He lives and works in Manchester and studied at Manchester Metropolitan University, and Hopwood Hall College, Rochdale.
Selected exhibitions include: 2006 The Beautiful People, The Agency, London; I-Pod Killed the Video Star, Showroommama, Rotterdam. 2005 The Beautiful People, Leicester City Gallery. |

Dominic Shepherd creates beautifully rendered romantic landscape paintings. His works are constructed from incredibly detailed interwoven symbolic motifs contained within complex compositional layers. They are illusive and deeply unique, presenting to us a fantastical world populated by animals, insects and imaginary solitary characters set against bridges, follies and distant horizon lines. The enduring feeling is of witnessing timelessness within a mysterious fragile peace and experiencing a consuming world of an alternative nature. |
