	Tomas Georgeson	By using paint as a means with which to document performance and installation art Tomas Georgeson manipulates its traditions, exposes its weaknesses and is still able to make beautiful paintings. As memories of the live events fade their significance begins to change until all that is left is a painting, perfect in its antiquity, like the centuries of paintings before it.
	Tomas Hruza	Somewhere on the border between art and tourism, and between an inconspicuous event, its photographic representation and the eventual installation is where the field of interest of Tomas Hruza begins. Like other artists of the younger generation he is concerned with a re-reading of the influences underpinning conceptual and action art, and their usefulness in resuscitating the deflated credit of his principal medium – photography. He lives and works in Prague, London and Sumava Mountains. Solo exhibitions include: 2007 Tourists, Fiducia Gallery, Ostrava, CZ; 2007 Behind the River There Is Argentina (with J. Freiberg), FABS Gallery, Warsaw, PL; 2006 Nature Motifs, Skolska 28, Prague, CZ
	Tony Collinge	My work has always been abstract. I like the ambiguity of interpretation this allows, and the emphasis on structure. Collage suits me because it is the ultimate ‘finding’ process during which the most drastic and outrageous ideas can be courted, and I can give much more consideration to decisions without destroying what I already have. My process is not systematic, there is no formula. Though certain ingredients always need to be present it is impossible to define why I decide a work is completed. He studied at Liverpool College of Fine Art and UCL London.

	Vibeke Luther	A lot of my work explores various aspects around memory, memory gaps and present understanding of previous and past events. I am intrigued by memory, how certain episodes and events fade, how we relive moments and how we supress them. I work through a process of making a lot of drawings quickly as a starting point of my work. I cut the drawings up, recompose them, cut them up again and back together as a new picture. This method of editing and cropping allow the context to slip and gives new light to original index.
	Victoria Hall	Victoria Hall's work is a combination of an ethnographical and performative approach resulting in documented pieces using photographs and text. In the present series of humorous and sophisticated restaging of famous British and European paintings from the 16th through to the 20th century, careful attention is paid to lavish costumes and grand surroundings, in which Hall is always the leading lady. Education: 1994/5 Chelsea College of Art & Design, MA Fine Art: Combined Media Selected Exhibitions: 2005: Portrayal Solo Show, Lounge Gallery, London; 2004: Portrayal Solo Show, Saltburn Artists projects
	Vincent Hawkins	Vincent Hawkins was born in Hertfordshire in 1959. He studied at Maidstone College of Art 1984-87. His group shows include Recent Graduates Show (selected from art colleges in the south east) Angela Best Gallery Canterbury 1987, Old Subject New Object Bonington Gallery Nottingham 1990 and an exhibition at Clapham Art Gallery London 1997. He has been shortlisted for the Jerwood Drawing Prize 2006.
	Wendy Anderson	Painting is essential to me, it is the way that I record and respond to what I have seen in the world. I have included in the slides not only paintings, such as 'Dark Summer', but also the three dimensional work 'Chair'. I am particularly interested in the way we look at a painting, that we return and re look. There are rhythms like a musical score where a theme is repeated, or inverted, with my painting it ends up as a kind of structure and pattern. She lives and works in London. Her solo exhibitions have been in association with the Eagle Gallery, the Adam Gallery and the Whitechapel Gallery, London.

	Yuki Snow	Japanese artist Yuki Snow (Yuki means snow in Japanese) studied Fine Art Painting for 5 years in Japan before moving to England in 2001 where she studied at the University of Brighton; graduating in 2005. Her colourfully embroidered oil paintings reveal stories of a space of migration, fascnation with birds and her own experiences of coming from another country. Her textured creations combine knitting, sequins, buttons, embroidery, acrylic and oil painting as she believes that touch is important in her artworks; their 'relief-quality' almost as a form of Braille.
