In Ford Crull’s paintings crosses, hearts, wings, and the human figure coupled with geometric shapes appear as a gathering of calligraphic mark making in rich, luminous colours maintaining at the same time a poetic, dreamlike and overtly cryptic expression. Bravura of graphic elements, colour and compressed energy, his works also take on a more contemplative spirit strongly evocative of Symbolist sensibility. He lives and works in Manhattan and studied at the University of Washington, Seattle. Selected exhibitions include: 2005 Howard Scott Gallery, New York. His work is held in collections of The National Gallery of Art, Washington and the Metropolitan Mueseum of Art, New York |

For the last four years the work has been dedicated to an investigation of monochromatic representational drawing that results in a highly disciplined use of consciously limited traditional materials. The drawings are unusual in that the image covers the surface and negates linear contour, placing the work closer to traditional painting. Thus, in contrast to most drawing which leaves large areas of the surface exposed, the ground is progressively eliminated so that the image covers the paper almost entirely. The deliberate negation of line is achieved through the modelling of volumetric masses using tonal variation as an alternative to linear contour. |

Francesca Simon works in Vauxhall and also in Glaisdale, North Yorkshire. Principally a painter, she also makes etchings. Time spent in the North York Moors is an important part of her practice. The grids formed by the drystone walls of the area are the starting point for the work she makes, which transforms elements characteristic of traditional landscape into a personal abstract language. She uses a restricted range of marks and a limited palette. Her intention is that each piece should be reduced and refined by an economy of expression. |

Working from documentation, photographs and drawings, as much as the memory of places traveled, from Scandinavia to The Baltic States and the forests of California, Douglas-Morris creates paintings of beautiful dreamlike idylls. Rather than relating to any specific place or destination, they are fleeting glimpses of landscapes that slip between the abstract and the representational; far removed from human presence. She lives and works in London and studied Fine Art at Brighton University.
Selected exhibitions include: 2006: Group Show, Start Gallery, Brighton. 2005: Picture This, The Bargehouse, London. 2005: Chase, RCA, London. |

Gail Burton’s drawings and paintings, often produced with ephemeral materials (including Kleenex tissues, rizla papers and tin cans) respond to everyday cultural and personal stories and exhortations. Fragments of news stories, government health warnings, extracts of diaries, and recurring words (like bits of songs that got stuck in your head) co-exist and repeat. Rather than fade into the distance of historical detritus, these fragmentary moments are extricated and commemorated in works that often deploy text, a single word, a portrait, or endlessly repeated dots.
She is part of the collaborative live art project walkwalkwalk, and a founder member of WAN, the Walking Artist’s Network. |

The structure of my work is based mostly from industry and architecture, however, the meaning comes from issues surrounding us: social, religious, political and environmental. My work has often been compared to that of Heath Robinson as it has an element of the mad inventor's quality to it. I feel that juxtaposing a natural or recognisable element within the mechanics, gives the piece life; a connection for the viewer to hold on to.Gemma Coyle is based in Edinburgh, Scotland |
