	name	short description
	Madeleine Strindberg	In her practice Strindberg gives form to visual anarchy, transforming found visual material into something more alive and challenging. Medical illustrations of the brain are transformed into large detailed paintings of menacing beauty. Newspaper images of war are subverted by transforming them into scenes from a comic-book misadventure inhabited by teddy-bear like soldiers in lurid neon glows. She lives and works in London and studied at the Royal College of Art. She was artist in residence at the National Gallery in 1988; won the Abbey Scholarship at the British School, Rome, 1996; won the Jerwood Prize for Painting, 1998; and participated in the Sharjah International Biennale 2003
	Madeleine Hunter	Madeleine recently graduated from Leeds University following an Art foundation at Wimbledon School Of Art where she specialised in theatre design. At Leeds she read Theatre with English, and in her final year became interested in performance art. This was significant because it fused art and theatre together, her two major interests. Currently she is developing these ideas in the form of relief pictures on Perspex that involve using light and photography. Her work forms a cycle starting with collages from initial photographs and drawings, followed by semi 3-dimensional work with the use of light and photographs.

	Lucinda Oestreicher	In Oestreicher’s paintings buildings, barns, sheds, houses and shelters are transformed into signs of human experiences specifically in relation to these architectural structures. Painted and constructed in both 2D and 3D with child-like wit, they are seductive signs inviting the viewer to speculate hidden stories and histories within these habitats. She lives and works in London and studied at Slade and Central School of Art. In 2003 she won the Studio Residency at Florence Trust Studios, London. Selected exhibitions include: 2006 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2005 30 X 30, Vertigo, London. 2004 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. 2002 ARTfutures, Contemporary Art Society, London.
	Lucinda Holmes	Using everyday materials I explore their physical properties and use them through arrangement and placement to suggest a miniature world. The world is produced in response to its site and context. The miniature world is then explored by a fictional character ‘Agent A’, who documents through photography, writing and drawing the world as he discovers it. The created worlds are uninhabited, but traces of previous beings are present. To get to these alternate worlds Agent A travels to a continent that floats above the surface of the Earth in the stratosphere. This is inhabited with human like beings who also produce artwork in part response and misunderstanding of human Earth systems.
	Lucie Winterson	Lucie Winterson:Thinking Nature “But to the Eyes of the Man of Imagination, Nature is Imagination itself” William Blake Western culture has divided and opposed culture and nature, most often to the destruction and detriment of nature but also with the result of alienating human culture from a creative contact with natural reality. There are, however, ways in which culture does and can find its way back to nature and it is argued that poetry is a place where culture and nature can meet. If for poetry you also read painting, then the work of Lucie Winterson is situated here.
	Louisa Chambers	Louisa lives and works in London. She studied an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art (2005-2007) and at the Surrey Institute of Art and Design (2002-2005) where she achieved a BA(Hons)Fine Art with first class honours.
