	AroFish	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
	Aya Fukami	I use ceramic to make objects, which then are left to stand balancing. When these objects are finished, start to function as artworks or cease to exist it is quite often unknown; because of the fragility of those objects, (the material in combination with their posture) it is unknown how long they will last. The re-arrangement of the elements and the documentation of the work in different configurations are inherent in my practice, so the work is not ‘fixed’ and stays open.
	Barbara Walker	Barbara Walker graduated in fine art from the University of Central England in 1996. She has undertaken a number of solo projects including: Louder than Words , Unit2 London and Midlands Art Centre,2007; Testimony, Queen’s Hall, Northumberland, 2005; Private Face, EMACA, Nottingham, 2002, this exhibition also toured to Midlands Arts Centre, Birmingham and 198 Gallery, London.

	Baron Gilvan	Baron Gilvan is best known through his bawdy concert hall performances with Pinkle's Puppet Circus and the songwriting duo of Foster and Gilvan. His paintings have drawn from the characters around him that often inhabit a world of Victoriana, faded grandeur and an addiction to dimazapan.In 1991 he suffered a breakdown that lasted 18months and it was during this time at Barrow Gurney Psychiatri Hospital he was able to devote time to painting. Since then his paintings have helped to inform his often ludicrous and endearing stage personas. Some works represented are from a series entitled ' Gentlemen's Relish' which draws from classical portraiture that Baron Gilvan encountered in the Alsace.
	Beejoir	Painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography and stencils are his mediums. Contrasting visual elements and saturated colours make his work personal and accessible, eye catching. One step beyond and the familiar, comfortable frame disappears leaving yourself mumbling and scratching your head, immersed in considerations regarding the ultraviolent nature of the shiny happy people, the unsustainable way of living we are buried in and a huge feeling of guilt. The work goes straight to the point, ruthless. This is honest, good POP art!

	Bianca Brunner	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.
	Bortusk Leer	ThinkFly is not extinguished! He has evolved and he’s now Bortusk Leer . Evolution, what a beautiful word! From pigeon to happy monster keeping the method intact.

	Carolyn Gowdy	Born in Seattle, Carolyn Gowdy has been based in London since 1977. She has worked internationally as an illustrator and is renowned for her narrative, almost fairy-tale images. Her paintings and drawings are populated by a cast of idiosyncratic characters reflecting her innocent quirky humour. Her work is at once playful, reflective and philosophical.
	Cartrain	Cartrain from Leytonstone is a street artist that works with stencils and collage. He talks politics and has a good sense of humour; in fact he’s a contemporary satirist.
	Cathy Lomax	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.
	Celia Hempton	The paintings are initiated by visiting peripheral landscapes. Remote building sites, roadsides, disused canals - neither populated nor without human presence, they are lonely places. Drawings are made on site and brought into the studio, where in a more reflective environment I can become intuitively involved in making a painterly response to the psychological.
