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.

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. |

In my work I try to deal with the concept of disruption between Culture and Nature and the notion of Nature as other. On one hand interested in the relations between the idea of idealisation of Nature and its disruption through scientific knowledge, on the other hand the interpretation of Nature through psychoanalytic symbols.
I use the animal as metaphor, using the idea of reportage to suggest the casual capture of an image. Also inspired by Film Noir and the dark symbols of Fairy Tales, my recent work and images evoke a sense of Otherworldly mystery alluding to the obscure and symbolised aspect of dreams, or the interpretation of traditional fables and fairy tales. |

Harper’s practice is engaged with the idea of evolution. Predominantly an exploration in mark-making, the paintings develop an ever widening vocabulary. Earlier paintings relied on the repetition of a single and simple brush stroke to yield a mono-cultural field of grass.

Selected exhibitions include: 2006 John Moores 24, Walker Gallery, Liverpool. 2005 Jerwood Drawing Prize, Jerwood Space & UK Tour; Cloud & Vision, Museum of Garden History. He teaches at Goldsmiths College, Central St. Martins and City Lit. |

Bianca Brunner's enigmatically simple photographic compositions reflect on the power of sudden, momentary absorption to arrest and change our experience of daily life - characters and sets embodying a hypnotic aesthetic akin to that which may be found in, say, a painting of a mostly empty interior by Wilhelm Hammershoi, or in the subversive sense of memory and possession in a surrealist film. The young Swiss photographer's contemplative images of individuals looking as anonymous and abandoned as the interior and exterior environments in which they are framed are remarkable for their uncanny, almost mystically spartan demeanour. |

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. |
