About This Artwork

"Through my work I continue to explore my obsession with geometry. Through the use of actual materials I can reference landscape and by reducing compositional elements to the minimum, can explore natural pattern. I am interested in using repetition to emphasise the organic ordering of parts to create heavily textured surfaces. I aim to create pieces that provoke contemplation on the similarity and complexity of mathematical patterns in our universe."

About This Artwork

Anne Penman Sweet studied Fine Art (Painting) at Claremont School of Art in Perth, Australia, and later gained a postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Studies from Saint Martins School of Art in London in 1978. ‘The paintings themselves are not about any specific place, although I often use visual references in the early stages of the work – photographs, film stills, images from magazines. What I’m attempting to do through the depiction of these diverse and nameless places is to provide a space of resonance, of interiority and inner recognition – a moment of stillness’.

About This Artwork

Matthew Dean studied film and animation at the Arts & Animation Institute in Bournemouth, then went to Bristol UWE to focus on stop motion animation. This was followed by a year concentrating on fine art in Australia. Matthew's work really captures the moving form, demonstrating his understanding of movement through animation and visual studies. He is currently exploring the human body, based on movement he is looking at the line of motion and fluidity. Working with models moving to music his work conveys an energy that is powerful in it's simplicity.

About This Artwork

Ashwan a British musician and artist . His work has a strong element of graffiti and hip hop influence, where the energy of music plays a large part in creating his paintings. The layering and building up the surface with different text, symbols and marks is an integral part of his process. In the painting 'My Baby' the influence is taken from a west coast tune. Ashwan captures the uplifting feel of the music by using vibrant, primary and secondary colours. The music used slick production techniques which catch the attention with a dramatic end and therefore like the painting leaves a wow!

About This Artwork

This image is one of a set of 16 works, each representing an individual tree from the wild garden at the Natural History Museum, London. By boiling down brittle dry leaves and cherries for six hours the artist creates a golden brown essence which is daubed directly onto paper to create beautiful organically flowing forms that resemble the very tree it has originated from

About This Artwork

"The starting point for these paintings is a combination of my love for the materials I work with and an expression of how I experience the land around me - the moors, the coast, the expanses of sky and light. I am excited by the particular qualities of the oil paint I use and what it will allow me to do in terms of colour, texture and mark making so that images are built up over a period of time through layering, lifting and scraping back to hold a tension between abstraction and a more literal interpretaion of the landscape."
