This allows a large collage of many layers to be extremely light, acid free and durable while maintaining the aesthetic qualities of the fine arts. The surface is reworked through combinations of various materials. Peter Van Tongerloo Peter Van Togerloo studied the methodolgy and the history of Old Flamish Masters. By examining their techniques, he attained a high transparency in his own work. With these technical skills and thorough knowledge of mterials, Van Tangerloo has astarted to creatre his own vision... William Rusedski Before becoming one of the most exciting new abstract artists on the international scene in only his mid-thirties, Canadian William Rusedski began dabbling with paint at a very early age and by the age of five, he was drawing cartoon figures with a dexterity and lightning strokes that were to become a trademark. Grahame Parry Parry's paintings are based on contrast and contradiction. Appropriating images from a wide range of sources he takes pleasure in lifting figures from their original context and placing them in a new pictorial environment in an effort to employ them in an alternative narrative. The visual language he has developed also reinforces this idea of contradiction, with black and white images being thrown up against intense colour, figurative forms reacting against abstract elements and decorative detail finding its counterpoint in flat planes of colour. Jo Dennis London Based. Studied at Norwich School of Art and then Goldsmiths Dennis' working process is lead by the accidental nature of paint and ink blotting. Within this process she is concerned with control and loss of control, not only in terms of the paint and ink but also in terms of emotion and fear. The details of the drawings work around ideas of self loathing, sex and nightmare. She often uses disparate components, dark humor and personal symbolism, and revels in the use of irreverent language, both written and visual. She is interested in the connection between man and beast and the ridiculous nature of vanity, identity and egotism. Will Kissmer These celebrate the beauty of the female form an the dapery, textured material, which clings so sensually to their skin. Depicting the moment of unveiling, he plays with eroticism. He plays with contrast, most prominently is that of the delicate smooth skin of the female figure against the crinkles in the material she wears. Kissmer's pieces are very often described as photo-realism, but there is more depth to them with detail that almost throws you. It is the texture and the play of light and shadow, brightness and darkness, and smoothness against crinkles which creates and represent moods that are so deeply moving and overwhelming. He is a true master of painting who is able to express beauty. Katie Galbraith-Marten Katie Galbraith-Marten is an Australian born, London based artist. She's self taught - gaining her exposure to the art world by taking part and winning several art awards throughout Australia from a very young age. Chris Gawor After a varied background in music, film and advertising, writing and photography, Chris has continued to develop his love of art. Using his desire to bring about an unfiltered response to the beauty of the feminine form with a purity of a woman's sexualitywithin our sex-obsessed culture and society, usually only in skin-deep terms of beauty and image. Barrington De La Roche Barrington De La Roche and Inesa Vaiciute work together as DARK THEATRE, mainly doing installations film and performance art (individually as painters), looking at life from a completely personal point of view expressing emotions and interpreting life as the artists struggle to express their individualities in seeking beauty in pain and the forbidden, against a backdrop of ever growing condemnation. Jivko Dinev Colour, texture and strong composition are common elements in all of Jivko's work. His most recent paintings show a preoccupation with the effect of particularly vivid colours. By juxtaposing the colours in unexpected ways he evokes different atmospheres that inspire a variety of emotional responses in the viewer. Above all, there is an intensity in the paintings that is a testament to Jivko's approach and his dedication to the rendering of his ideas. Liese Webley Liese Webley's paintings take as their starting point her engagement with an idea of environment. This may quite simply be a reaction to her immediate surroundings, or on the other hand might be an attempt to recall the memory of a place once visited. The images she uses to construct these spaces, and with which to populate them, come from a wide range of sources. Observational drawings and photographs, as well as collected material, are all employed, each in their own way in an effort to give form to her experiences and allow free association between differing visual ideas. William Packer William Packer has always worked from the thing seen - the figure, landscape, still-life - though there were times, especially in the later 1960s, when the landscape in particular was abstracted to a degree. He has also frequently worked from secondary photographic reference, though never in any closely photo-realist sense. An underlying concern remains, as it has always been, the reconciliation of the formal elements within the work to the observed. Since the mid-1990s he has worked principally with still-life, as much to maintain some regular studio practice in a necessarily unpredictable working life, as for the particular interest it affords. While it presents a world in itself, it is not an exclusive preoccupation.
