Michon’s practice is emblematic of 90s Third Wave obsession with punk, girls with guitars, anti-consumerism and the fetishization of ambiguity. Utilising drawing, painting and craft techniques she makes interventions with post-feminist attitudes, creating very personal essays: Decoupages over pages of romantic fiction disrupt concepts of ideal love, and revel in a fascination with dark romanticism. Drawings and paintings of Beatniks, Ronettes, dandies and 50s heart throb Billy Fury, reveal a contemporary obsessional need to create uber worlds of lost longing.
She lives and works in London and studied at Central Saint Martins. She co-directs Transition Gallery. |

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. |

In my work I combine the linear with baroque elements, creating a somehow unfocused visual journey. The layers of translucent paint gradually form the image allowing a web of brush-strokes to describe its spaces. An intense sense of light is of great significance in the work as it acts as a way in or an exit point out of that journey. It allows suggestions of infinity or describes claustrophobic areas.
She lives and works in London studied at Ruskin school of Fine Art and Royal Academy Schools. Solo exhibitions include: 'A million mirrors', Greenberg Van Doren Gallery, New York, 2007; ‘In the ruins’, Contemporary Art Projects, London 2006; ‘On the verge’, Amy- Jo Spitallier presents, London |
