ACE is a mystery. All I can tell you right now is that he's a guerrilla printmaker and that his logo is an anthropomorphist boxer. |

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.

"One of the most important motif in my work is contrast nature and technical civilization. There are my own contemporary person experiences from everyday live existence.
There are grotesque and certain tension in my paintings. Important pictures series is for me the "Metro" cycle. I placed there scenes from nature- fishing, chase, hunt, in to the decorative application of the underground's walls..I wanted symbolic transfer a little bit nature in to the Prague underground stations.
Conflict between natural and technical world is in the animals portraits too. |

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’. |

A sensation of searching for something yet unknown that may provide enlightenment runs through the work. The flux of multi layered references flips us from anxiety to ecstasy to melancholy to horror. A hypnotic aesthetic binds it all together; in keeping with modern societies increasingly voracious appetite for quick fix fulfillment. Inevitably we end up narcotized, adrift in the void. However, there is also a sense that through total apocalyptic destruction there is the possibility for re-newel , for creation , metamorphosis. |

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. |

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. |

Andy ‘Seize’ Quammie graduated with a BA Hons in Painting @ Central Saint Martin's in 1996. Born and raised in Hackney, Andy belongs at the cutting edge of the 21st century's Avant Garde movement; his work embodies all the vibrancy and optimism of 1980s Graffiti art, rejuvenated by a constant barrage of fresh and innovative ideas. Feverishly hawked by lifestyle magazines like Vogue and Attitude, who have devloped something of a penchant for decking out their models with his trademark, 80s-style Graffitied denim jackets. Seize is no ordinary St. Martin’s graduate.
Having already achieved cult-like status on the Graffiti scene, Seize finds it impossible to repress his inherently creative spi |

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 currently working on a series of wolf paintings.Among my influences are the Impressionist paintings of Alfred Sisley; the Pointillist paintings of Georges Seurat and Abstract Expressionist ‘lasso’ paintings of Jackson Pollock.The luminosity and mystery imbued in my work references my experiences growing up in Rome, surrounded by a menagerie of animals and transient light. The intrinsic qualities of paint have always been a tactile delight. |

He goes to Beirut after the bombing and paints kite runners on the ruins and when in London he likes to spray stray cats and bag ladies because he saw the real scene in Spain many years ago while road tripping |
