	Nigel Grimmer	Nigel Grimmer's practice explores the relationship between public and personal imagery and its influence on the production of identity. An archive of ephemera from popular culture - comic books, action figures, joke shop props, snapshots and film stills - is drawn through his personal narratives and then returned to the public realm. Rendered both strange and familiar, Grimmer presents an alternative to mainstream culture, an acknowledgement of his experience by the conveyance of a unique sensibility, a subculture formed by the selection and editing of this material. Nigel Grimmer was born in Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. He completed his Masters in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins in 1998.
	Nicola Wills	Nicola Wills is an abstract artist living and working in south east London. She trained at the University of Arts London (formerly the London Institute) and graduated from the London College of Printing & Distributive Trades (now London College of Communications) in 1999. She has been involved in several group and solo shows in and around London as well as participating in the Deptford X 2007 festival.
	Nicky Hodge	Playing with notions of memory, loss and transience, Nicky Hodge creates paintings of half-remembered landscapes: people isolated on streets, objects remembered from childhood, parts of roof tops and planes fading into backgrounds seem like left over narratives or pieces of lived life passing ‘through’ them. Taking Polaroids in parks and flower beds she deliberately moves her camera to produce blurred images, which are then used as source material for her, idiosyncratic and poignant paintings. She studied at Central St Martin’s College of Art and lives and works in London. Selected exhibitions include: Sense and Nonsense, Danielle Arnaud, London; Picturesque, Tullie House.
	Nick Fox	He lives and works in London and studied at Royal Academy Schools, London and at 95 John Moores University, Liverpool. Selected exhibitions include: 2006-7 Salon Connexions, Contemporary Art Projects, London; This Longing, The Drawing Gallery, London; Nick Fox, New Work, Royal Academy Schools Gallery, Hornsey; Unveiled, MOCA, London; Pulse Art Fair, New York. 2005: Ten, Seventeen Gallery, London; Los Angeles Art Fair, Western Project. 2004 The Armoury Show, New York Collections Jigsaw, AP Kearney, Museum of Contemporary Art, London
	Nerys Mathias	Nerys Mathias' practice concentrates upon the troublesome aspects of love: desire and absence.Using photography as a tool to gather evidence the work manifests itself as square images.The draws upon a large scope of literary influence: Roland Barthes "A Lovers Discourse", the love poetry of Jacques Prévert, the plays of Samuel Beckett, and James Joyce's "Dubliners". These writers are concerned with revealing moments, and by concentrating upon discreet moments it is hoped that a larger question is revealed. Solo shows:Hello, The Byre, Pembrokeshire, May 2001 War Paint, Luna International, Berlin, April 2001,Nerys' Gallery, boy, Tokyo, 2001-2002,Tube Project, Victoria Line, London Underground

	nathan eastwood	The work of Nathan Eastwood is based around temporarily-occupied, ordinary minimal spaces. Starting from observation of places, objects and materials, this artist captures scenes where people are waiting waiting for something to happen; between one place and another, an in-between state. These poetic paintings record somehow the emptiness of space, an emptiness that denotes the notions of minimalist aesthetic still in a social context.
	Nadine Feinson	I work in a process of laying down paint and manipulating it, trying to find a point where the paint becomes pure image yet simultaneously folding back into matter. I am interested in this movement and how it leads not only to a deformation of the image but also of deformation of understanding. Potentially, opening up a space for a different understanding. Education:Mphil Painting, Royal College of Art, London 2007 - 2009 MA Fine Art, Goldsmiths College, London - 2004. B.A. (hons), Fine Art Painting, University of Brighton - 1999.

	Mindy Lee	Mindy Lee uses a repeated expulsion of paint,fusing layers together into a monstrous hybrid. These forms lure the viewer in through delicate detail.As the surface is infected, disgust and seduction are intertwined through a revelling in squeamishness. Lee lives and works in London. MA Royal College of Art 2002-4. Selected exhibitions:2007 ‘Gyre and Gimble’ Blyth Gallery, London. 2006/7 ‘Salon Connexions’ Contemporary Art Projects, London.
	Mimei Thompson	Mimei Thompson graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2005. Her work explores the unstoppable proliferations of natural systems through luminous paint and baroque excesses of brush-marks. Dialogues are set up between meticulous construction and chaos- between control and the point of tipping beyond control. Neon meets earth; colours flip from naturalistic to the artificial, tuned to the frequency of a hyper-world.
