	Gemma Coyle	The structure of my work is based mostly from industry and architecture, however, the meaning comes from issues surrounding us: social, religious, political and environmental. My work has often been compared to that of Heath Robinson as it has an element of the mad inventor's quality to it. I feel that juxtaposing a natural or recognisable element within the mechanics, gives the piece life; a connection for the viewer to hold on to.Gemma Coyle is based in Edinburgh, Scotland

	Gerry Smith	The paintings of Gerry Smith take their form by imposing a rigorous simplification onto "found" images. The subjects, cities, squares, soldiers or text, have to compete with the optical effects of being translated into a few colours. The choices of "where" and "how" to simplify allow for an unpredictable outcome. These paintings look to the computer screen with envy. Priority is always given to the "hum" of the surface, with each colour clinging to its part of the picture and not allowed to wander (...) (C) Michele Minne He studied at Central School of Art. Selected exibitions: 1998 Clink Wharf Gallery, London 1999 The Glass Border, Danielle Arnaud, Londo; Nicole Klagsbrun, New York
	Gillian Cutbill	My recent works deal with the use of transparent and reflective surfaces in the contemporary environment. Reflected images appear out of context and are frequently superimposed on one another. In transit, reflections are glimpsed at speed, suggesting the voyeurism of film. Frames distance the viewer from the subject and the grid emphasises the flatness of the picture plane. The erasure of a painted or printed illusion is used as a metaphor for the power of accident and chaos, echoed by the deterioration of the surfaces. Gill Cutbill studied at Bristol and London Universities and Wimbledon and City & Guilds Art Schools. She worked at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Institute of Contempo
	Glauce Cerveira	Cerveira’s luminous intensely patterned paintings reflect the powerful impact of fashion in contemporary society. By exalting clothing to the authority of icon, her visually arresting works bring the spectator face-to-face with mythical consumer counterparts to religious icons. Cerveira lives and works in London and studied at Central Saint Martins, London and Chelsea School of Art. Selected exhibitions include: 2006: V22:ON, V22 Contemporary Art Collection Exhibition; Outdoors, Danielle Arnaud, London; 2005 And it all went Brazilian, Design Shop, Edinburg Festival Fringe. She was shortlisted for the 2006 Celeste Art Prize.
	Grant Foster	The characters bear witness to the humanity in extreme situations, while the painting indicates inhuman and barbaric practices, like butchery and torture. Characters have included soldiers and martyrs, types that are typically male, where the displacement and corruption of power occurs. They are fetishes of the grotesque that mark their territory by pissing on themselves and everyone around them.
	Greg Rook	Contemporary figurative painters, like many others, find themselves in the congested territory of searching for a distinct subject matter that has the breadth and malleability on which to build a personalised mark making language. For Greg Rook, this quest has brought him to the rich imagery of the American frontier and Wild West. (...) J.
