	Paul Butler	Butler’s paintings navigate the bureaucratic power hungry-chaos of urban cities teeming with business men, paper pushers, officials, snarling dogs of war and glaring neon signs. They are at once wry satirical explorations in the cool distant attitude of a social critic, and stirring painterly images.

	Peter Lamb	Born in London. Lives and works in London. In his highly charged and emotive 'hybrid photo/paint/print collages', Lamb trawls mercilessly through his and the world’s collective memory bank, unearthing fragments of hidden truth and forgotten realisations. The result is a series of newly defined and deftly designed truths that feign a sort of mystical authority for our contemporary times.
