Adam King explores landscape and the pastoral through two and three dimensional collages. His work reveals post-apocalyptic terrains pieced together from the collected imagery of an urban consumer culture. These landscapes and their inhabitants are a disturbing reflection on our fixation with all things fashionable.
He is based in London and studied at the Wimbledon School of Art.

Roberts seeks poetry and adventure in the most unassuming elements of daily life. In his paintings abandoned factories, dwellings, industrial units, deserted stadiums and parks shrouded in the ordinariness of the everyday, are rediscovered and transformed into enigmatic images. Memories of growing up at the RAF base and fascination with the wasteland glamour of film noir are major influences in his work.
He is based in London and studied at Cambridge University and Central St Martins. In 2003 he was short listed for the Jerwood Drawing Prize.
Selected Exhibitions include: 2005 Point Blank Lounge, London. 2004 Contemporary British Painting Hastings Museum and Art Gallery, Sussex. |

"The images I create are all direct descendants of real life observations made whilst travelling. Drawings are done in situ from cityscapes viewed from the window of the hotel room I happen to find myself in. They are made either with a laptop or with ready-made materials – biros and hotel papers found lying around the room. |

JM plays with the perception of two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. His paintings track volume in
space, delineated by colour and line, whilst the surface of the sculptures reveals delicate tones of collaged
papers that almost deny their volume. He lives and works in London, studied at Goldsmiths College of Art. Selected exhibitions include: 2007: Wood for the Trees and Falling Leaves, Gimpel Fils, London; Seo Gallery, Seoul. 2006: Still, Lounge Gallery, London; John Moores 24; Walker Art Gallery; Liverpool; Sensous Panorama; Lounge Gallery London. 2005: current vision, Sartorial Contemporary Art, London. 2004: The Horizon of Expectation, Empire Gallery, London.

Maelzer’s work explores the existential anxiety and epic beauty found in everyday life- in interiors cluttered with photographs, tokens, utility objects and memorabilia; buildings to be demolished and environmental disasters. Inspired by David Lynch and Jeff Wall, she uses filmic devices- narrative scale and lighting in her paintings and photographic work, to create highly charged scenarios. She lives and works in London and studied at Central St. Martin’s and Royal College of Art. In 2004 she was awarded an Abbey Fellowship at the British School at Rome, Italy. Selected exhibitions include: 2005: The Valley, Bloomberg Space, London. 2004: John Moores 23, Walker, Liverpool |

In his highly charged and emotive 'hybrid photo/paint/print collages', Lamb trawls mercilessly through his and the world’s collective memory bank, unearthing fragments of hidden truth and forgotten realisations. The result is a series of newly defined and deftly designed truths that feign a sort of mystical authority for our contemporary times. Suggesting the revolutionaries of Fluxus and the Situationist International, Lamb's sharp juxtapositions and innovative compositions recall the aesthetics of the mid-century's upheaval. These jarring yet elegant compositions are born of a process, |
