About This Artwork

Norrie Harman, born 1977, graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2001. There is an undeniable rawness about Harman’s work. It is dark and brooding, jageddy and sometimes representational. Images are often left in an unfinished state, surfaces are scratched and streaked giving them a sense of urgency. Indirectly the work is about social constructs, and barriers; the literal natural or manmade boundaries that exist between the poor and affluent areas of a city, and also social and racial barriers.

About This Artwork

This is a retrospective painting bringing together elements from solo exhibitions dating from 2001 to 2005. It's a way of moving on and moving forwards with my work. On the hill in the background sees me being helped on my way by the kids that chased after me while I was blown around Liverpool by the wind while clinging to a large canvas. The final painting in you think too much was ' back down to earth' this symbolised the disappointment after the high points as an artist, but successful new work in the past 12 months has meant that I am flying high once more.

About This Artwork

Peter Heard is a Londoner and an entirely self-taught artist, who is well known for his graphic compositions, bright colours and minute attention to detail. He started painting in the early 1970s, and became a leader of the British naïve-modern school with Beryl Cook. Peter’s stunning landscapes have strong forms and colours, yet are intimate and atmospheric as a result of his skilful use of light and shade. Pared down, simple compositions and beautiful rendering of colour are Peter's trademark style.

About This Artwork

The paintings, objects and drawings of Maya Hewitt lead us towards provinces of temporal occupation, to sites inhabited by figures that appear and recur through shifting cycles as perpetual incarnations of themselves. Emphatically clandestine, they remain anonymous and removed. Insular and uninhibited, their activity tends toward points of narrative that can only be glimpsed, offered in passing but not disclosed.

About This Artwork

Noel continues to display the vitality of his paintings as he selects his subjects from a wide range of subjects from a wide range of sources, Cuba, the boxing ring, the dance studio and urban life of young people. His paintings are known for their sensuous nature, which he achieves from a practical and straightforward approach. The exuberance of his paintings does not rely on a vibrant colour palette, but on a determination to allow his painterly abilities to be liberated, and not confine to clichéd imagery and presentation.
