	name	short description
	Rosalind Davis	Rosalind Davis is a mixed media painter creating complex and 3d dystopian landscapes, with a romantic and melancholy undercurrent. The medium Davis utilises, fusing painting with collage and embroidery, is complex, creating experimental expressions in painting. Her technique adds fragility and tenderness, emphasising the disconcerting juxtaposition between aesthetics and meaning. The effect she achieves is disconcertingly touching and powerful, creating landscapes that are a visual echo of human experience.

	Salvatore Fiorello	Salvatore Fiorello’s paintings depict depopulated urban spaces that are devoid of people but full of atmosphere. However they are anything but menacing as he uses bright colours: purples, pink, aqua and oranges. The result is a set of paintings that look like the backdros to a kitsch 1960s psychedelic film noir. Fiorello studied at UCE, Birmingham (BA Fine Art Painting) and Royal College of Art (MA Painting). He lives and works in UK.
	Sam Winston	Winston's typographic stories became widely collectable after he started selling them through London's ICA. His books can now be found in the special collections of MoMA New York, the Tate Galleries London, the Victoria & Albert Museum and the British Library. Winston is also a visiting lecturer at various universities including The Royal College of Art and Camberwell College of Art. He has written for Baseline magazine and worked on various design projects, most recently the third Muse album, and typographic consultancy work for Ogilvy & Mather. Winston studied at Camberwell College of Art - BAhons Graphic Design and Plymouth College of Art National Diploma. He lives and works in London.
	Samuel Douglas	He lives and works in London and is currently in his first year studying for an MA in painting at the Royal College of Art. He studied his BA in 1999-2000 at University of Brighton. Selected exhibitions include RCA Interim Show. In 2002 he won the Star Gallery Exhibition Award.
	Sarah Bridgland	Sarah Bridgland is known for her pop-up assemblages of miniscule paper cut outs - comic book speech-bubbles, graphic symbols, flower watercolours all competing for our attention and switching back and forth between popular culture and the history of art. This 3 dimensional clutter of scalped paper meticulously overflows out of vessels in the form of gunned toy soldiers and matchboxes. Bridgland’s work fascinates by transforming her outsiderist obsession with the insubstantial through a mesmerising level of deft technique into objects that are extreme, ordered, detailed and intense.
	Sarah Dwyer	She lives and works in London and studied at the Royal College of Art. In 2004 she won The Sheldon Bergh Award, RCA; in 2003 The Basil Alkazzi Travel Award to New York, RCA
	Sarah Jeffries	I am fascinated with the way that interiors work on many different levels: At face value they can be both beautiful and ugly, on a another level they can provide a narrative to the viewer about current fashions and locations in time. Deeper still, they can give clues as to the lifestyle and class of the occupants. By placing incongruous figures in certain interiors I am interested in exploring the stereotype of perfection, harmony and order in middle and upper class society. She is based in London and studied at the Royal College of Art.
