	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.

Walker has also been the recipient of a number of funding and research awards
	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.
