A lost Canadian, he is currently living in London, UK. Tarragon's superb paintings of young women and desolated landscapes are represented with an equal touch of emotionalism and distance - what he fondly calls Pragmatic Romanticism. This is seen in his engagement with both the source and the lie behind the Male Gaze; a social dichotomy usually directed (not exclusively) at young women and girls who are given the attributes, but the not reality, of sexual attractiveness. His models come from his strange assortment of friends. The landscapes come from the various places he has live and and grown to love. |

Tatiana's work encompasses paintings, etchings and digital images. Her practice has been the concept of mythology, identity, gender and painterly action. Tatiana's work has been involved with the head; the head as an identifiable, semiotic phenomenon. Her work is concerned with both verbal and visual languages. She is looking at ways to produce pictorial characters and develop narratives in her paintings to create a dialogue between her work and the public.
Tatiana de Stempel is a graduate of Wimbledon School of Art and a visiting tutor at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design

Hayama's paintings join together western & Japanese influences, combining different art historical periods with contemporary Japanese pop culture.Many of the figures are pictured with fruits & animals which refer to theme from Christian art such as sin, salvation, envy & love.Hayama's pale, ethereal figures with frail bodies & pale tinited eyes often inspired by mangas, portray an angelic appearance which clashes with a penetrating & unnerving glare directed at the viewer. Hayama communicates the innocence of children by portraying nude girls. Nudity combined with innocence & vulnerability is often depicted in Japanese pop art. Hayama also wants to show the transition from childhood to adole |

Terry Smith chips away at the very essence of the most of basic materials, be they plaster walls, texts, brooms or film to uncover the unclear. In his own words he suggests that there is no inherent method, no rigorous mapping, but it is apparent that this seemingly ephemeral appropriation of materials is constantly playing counterpoint to a challenging intellectual curiosity. |

In Kaccoufa’s work Genetic Manipulation, hubristic recklessness, and toys of the future are structured within a ‘post-utopian’ moment. The Cyber Flora sculptures comprising three-dimensional steel wire flowers resemble fantastical molecular models. The Bear sculptures with Griffith wings and octopus legs are genetically modified creatures of polyester resin and aluminum foil rather than cuddly teddies. Bringing together undifferentiated- technical practice, poetic intuition and the grotesque, his works critically engage with the speculative idealism of twentieth century utopianism.
He lives and works in London and studied at the Royal Academy Schools, and Central St Martins. |

My painting explores the relationship between the geometry of particular architectural spaces and the subjective experience of these structures. In particular I am interested in a form of perceptual reading and a kind of visual syntax through which to construct narratives of place. During a residency in Rome (2002) I undertook research into the buildings of the Modernist architect Mario Ridolfi which addressed certain paradoxes in his uses of rational form.
Tim Renshaw studied Painting at Leeds Polytechnic (1983-1986) and MA Painting (1989-1990) and MA History and Theory of Modern Art (1993-1996) both at Chelsea College of Art & Design. He has exhibited in the UK, Europe and the USA. |

We work collaboratively. The tenets of our work are coherence, intensity and personal accountability.
For us photography is a juxtaposition between photographer and presumptions of approximate and habitual seeing. We try to go beyond superficial photographic accuracy, surface naturalism to where the spirit of the picture becomes retrospective, contemplative, and not so much a document as a talisman or relic.
