About This Artwork

Bill Bate studied at the Central School of Art, gaining a Fine Art Degree. He has been painting for a number of years and during that time has developed a striking and dramatic style based on the human form. He works largely with oil and his particular characteristic is the nebulous smoky aurora surrounding striking life forms which is enhanced only by his exquisite use of brush strokes His paintings are concerned with powerful opposites creating potently atmospheric pieces that are emotionally charged. His use of colour and movement embodies the complexities and excitement, as well as the violence and tenderness of the human experience.

About This Artwork

This piece is taken from a papercut made from drawings of the plant monkshood or wolfsbane (Aconitum), a toxic plant which as well as a poison (can be fatal) is used in Ayurvedic and herbal medicine, affecting the circulation, respiration and nervous system. Louise is fascinated by plants, particularly flowers and their use in medicine, as well as their symbolism in folklore, history and different cultures. Monkshood, commonly a beautiful shade of blue-violet, is formed from helmet-like flowers on a tall, erect stem.This screen-print comprises the papercut overlaid on smaller cut mono-printed pieces abstractly describing the power of the plant.

About This Artwork

Encompassing film, photography and video, Dinu Li's practice centres on the relationship between the personal and the political, the public and the private. Shaped by forces that determine our social structures, Li draws inspiration from an engagement with the many cultures he encounters.Cyclic Patterns reveal the ritualistic movement of a funeral, as a large tribal gathering split into small human rings, waiting their turn to form a larger ring around a coffin, itself protected inside a wigwam structure. This image was taken on top of a mountain range in Guizhou Province, China.

About This Artwork

Takeuchi has been working on her project "planet of Rabbits" since 2004; this large-scale panoramic digital montage project addresses social and existential issues. It represents a fantasy world played by children dressing up like bunnies. They appear in everyday landscapes, such as parks and schools, which are transformed into mysterious spaces. These places are daily views for children but not for adults. In other words, these places do not mean the same for us, as for children.

Beverley Knowles Fine Art

About This Artwork

The Girls are Andrea Blood and Zoe Sinclair, both 32, whose quirky twelve year collaboration began at Central Saint Martins in 1996. Several years into their partnership, Blood and Sinclair were finishing each others sentences like Wyndham’s Midwich Cuckoos; wearing matching bubblegum pink outfits; and winning a string of awards for their surreal, very English work. Their work has been compared to Gilbert & George, Cindy Sherman, Judy Chicago and even Hieronymus Bosch. Their themes include Englishness, sibling relationships, childhood, gender, women’s relationship with food and eroticism.

About This Artwork

Using a language of deconstructed forms, the productive fiction of collage and a dynamic engagement with base materials, Hausmeier creates a series of interconnecting structures which form darkly observed monuments to a fragmented and shattered self. Hausmeier’s densely wrorked structures, which draw on primal and mythological symbolism, as much as they do from cool minimalism and the refined delicacies of kitsch, probe the fault lien of how much we understand and describe experience and object.Philip Hausmeier (b. 1980) graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art, London,in 2005, and in 2006 he was awarded the Boise Travel scholarship. His works is included in many major international collections.

About This Artwork

Lee’s paper cutout drawings seek to contemporize an ancient Chinese folk art, paper cutouts. Once practised by generations of village women, rapid modernisation and urbanisation in China threatens the development and future of the art form.Like each impossibly thin strip of paper that connects to sustain a bigger picture, paper cutout drawings allow integration of her disparate life experiences and art training, elapsing geographies, cultures and time.

About This Artwork

Alison has lived in the Lake District for the past 17 years, since leaving Falmouth School of Art. She says ‘I have always been fascinated by the cycles and rhythms of nature. The landscape around North Cumbria with it's constantly changing weather and light provide me with the perfect subject matter.Recent trips to the west coast of Scotland and the Hebrides have also inspired much of my work. The special sense of scale, fresh colour and pure light have led me back to using more oil paint.

About This Artwork

Self-taught on the streets of Sao Paulo, Titi Freak's distinctive 'east-meets-west' style sees his Japanese ancestry fused with the influence of his native Brazil. He is one of the key players emerging from the hugely important Brazilian school of street art, a genre recently described by The Times as 'the most significant in the global urban art movement'. The original creativity and authenticity of the work emerging from Sao Paulo is fast making the city to the street art movement what New York was to Pop in the early 1960's. Titi Freak features in Tristan Manco's landmark book, Graffiti Brasil, (Thames and Hudson, 2005) and has participated in sellout shows and art fairs throughout Brazil, USA and Europe.
