Alex Dewart’s painting are based on landscape and could be said to explore the space between : representation and abstraction; digital and analogue ; the simulated and the real.
They may be based on real places or be completely imaginary. It is an enquiry into the relationship between painting and the virtual imagery of the latest technology.
I am interested in the idea of the ‘Contemporary Sublime’. |

Since 1994 he has exclusively worked in black and white. Speaking about the monochrome nature of his work, he said: "Working in black and white breaks the link with naturalism and allows the painter to operate without instinctively judging how 'real' an image is. |

The paintings are nostalgic towards a lost age of youthful innocence and dreams. My work is like a zeitgeist of a close relative one never new or a lost love, perhaps this person was dead long before one was ever born. The work therefore holds a fondness to places that these past lives were lived out in, so close to ones self, yet so far away. They lament on a kind of love and longing to meet ones fore fathers and express a shared inherited passion towards alpine rock and pine trees. |

Through my work I reflect upon dichotomies such as scientific knowledge versus intuitive insight, the notion of Nature as Other, alienation, the animal as symbol and metaphor, psychoanalysis in dreams and fairy tales.
I use performance, photography and occasionally sculptures and small scale installations.
I have also created a short film from one of my performances.
My performances have become a form of spiritual quest to harmonize opposites, as part of my very own personal spiritual and psychological growth.
Sometimes I feature in them other times I use friends or other artists, and the outcome of these performances are always photographed. |

At the centre of my work is a search for a balance between precision and randomness, and an attempt to find systems within the interaction of discordant pictorial elements.
I often produce intensely worked surfaces that transform individual motifs into kaleidoscopic landscapes.
In 2006 she had an MA in Fine Art, Chelsea College of Art and Design, London. |

Born in Warsaw, Poland she now lives and works in London.Her work is autobiographical. It concerns merging ideas of memory and imagination in relation to her upbringing in Poland. Domestic and urban landscape is a key focus of Anka's new work and has been a re-occurring theme within her practice. |

I work with drawing on paper and painting on canvas to explore visual perception and the boundaries between figuration and abstraction. |

I am a highly proactive artist and curator with an experimental and inventive approach. I am always looking to advance and hone the skills I currently possess, with a strong desire to develop work which is captivating and has a long lasting impact on the viewer.I am interested in meaningless artefacts, objects that were once designed only for a specific purpose, but without the other related parts of the machine or device, are nothing but scrap. |

The Baron Gilvan is best known through his bawdy concert hall performances with Badstock Productions and the Karaoke Circus. He plays comedic trombone and sings barotone for the songwriting duo of Foster& Gilvan.
He was born in Britain but spent the first part of his childhood in Germany with his famous opera singer father.
His paintings explore the dynamics of the imagination and often inform his ludicrous and endearing stage persona. He studied at Central St.Martins and Crakow Academy and has designed the BBC proms logo and the wallpaper for the current Big Brother series. In 1998 he won the Royal Overseas league bursary and travelled to India and Nepal. |
