Ralph Anderson

Born in Glasgow, Scotland Lives and Works in London

Ralph Anderson’s paintings bring the transient qualities of light and the viscous nature of paint together in works that analyse visual language and separates a painting’s component parts. Painting with acrylic on aluminium or plywood Anderson uses a jigsaw to cut through the surface of the painting, revealing a solid support and transferring the viewer away from the illusionary surface. The structures are enhanced by the application of fluorescent paint on the reverse of each work, projecting a coloured glow on the supporting wall, and bringing the surrounding environment into play with the artwork. The resulting works hover between illusion and physical reality, investigating gesture and form whilst also playing with the notions of representation and non-representation in art.

Anderson has become widely collected, with works in prominent public venues such as the Business Premiere Lounge at Paris’s Gare du Nord, as well as permanently on display in the main atrium at London’s Hospital Club, Covent Garden and Cafe Murano.

Katrina Blannin

Born, lives and works in London

Katrina Blannin experiments with simple systems: palindromic and isochromatic structures, and aims to produce paintings and prints with a logical clarity; both spatial and material in character. The re-examination of historical colour theories and early Renaissance painting conventions, specifically concerning form, is transferred to an investigative practice which asks questions of twentieth century constructivist and concrete art, in order to generate new possibilities. She is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Worcester, teaches at UAL Camberwell and UCA Canterbury and is on the editorial board for Turps Banana magazine.

She has co-directed artist-run project spaces, curated exhibitions and written about contemporary painting. She graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1997 and has since then shown her work extensively in the UK and abroad.

Juan Bolivar

Born Caracas, Venezuela Lives and works: London, UK

Juan Bolivar is an artist and curator.

His paintings negotiate the tension between meaning and form. He combines elements from disparate sources to investigate hybridity, language and abstraction. Bolivar’s work often re-enacts seminal cannons of modernist painting such as Kazimir Malevich’s ‘black square’ or paintings from Malevich’s late period; using this context of interpretation to create new meanings from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Bolivar graduated from Goldsmiths College and has twice been a recipient of a Pollock-Krasner award. His work is included in The Government Art Collection, and selected for significant exhibitions such as New British Painting at John Hansard Gallery, University of Southampton and East International at Norwich School of Art. His work was included in Nanjing Museum’s first international exhibition of contemporary art where he was a prize winner.

He lives and works in London where he is a Lecturer in Painting at Camberwell College of Arts.

Karen David

Born, lives and works in London

Karen David’s multi-disciplinary practice examines themes and notions of mysticism with direct reference to consumerism and the domestic. Through the use of materials, mediums and subcultures such as tie-dye, crystals, dreamcatchers and The X-Files, which she employs as aesthetic-shorthand for ‘New Age’ and ‘paranormal’ ideas, her work hovers between cynicism and sincerity, creating a space for experiment, magic, mythmaking and new meanings.

Her research has taken her to the Southwest American Desert to explore its landscape and mythologies and to inform an ongoing project of a fictional artists’ commune where residents investigate links between post-painterly abstraction, new age memorabilia and new possibilities in gardening.

In 2018 David was awarded a studentship for a practice-based PhD with a studio focus on mythmaking, fictional narrative, communes and para-anthropology.

Ludovica Gioscia

Born in Rome Lives and works in London

Ludovica in her own words; I am fascinated by the psychological mechanisms that underpin marketing strategies and our relationship with consumption. In particular I am interested in accumulation and destruction, and I often emulate this cycle in my artworks.

In my practice I explore compulsions and obsessions that most of us experience; be it our constant need to refresh our emails or check Facebook, our habitual purchase of that same brand of toothpaste or, at its most extreme, an unstoppable impulse to hoard. I collect all manner of things as both a manifestation of, and reflection upon, the latter–organising accumulated material into various archives, as part of the process of investigation.

Bob Tjungarrayi Gibson

Born, lives and works in Australia’s Central Desert

Bob was born at Papunya and moved with his family to Tjukurla at the time of the homelands movement in the late 1980’s.

Bob’s bold and energetic paintings have put Bob amongst some of the most sought after emerging artists in the contemporary indigenous art world. His unique and powerful style represents country in a wild and imaginative exploration of colour and form.

With limited communication with art centres and communities Bob works remotely and drives by in his truck every 2-6 months to drop of artworks and obtain more materials.

JGM Gallery worked over several years to obtain works from the artists and were delighted to present his work as part of our first years programming.

Alastair Gordon

Born in Scotland lives and works in London

Alastair Gordon is a London based artist.

Central to his practice is the notion of a painting as a cultural artifact. At first these are paintings about paintings: images that oscillate between artifact and artifice. Certain questions emerge about the replication of the image, craft of the artist and certainty of the viewer.

Notions of authenticity lie at the heart of his artistic enquiry. Gordon looks for evidence of the ‘real thing’. Artists materials such as masking tape and paper are rendered in paint to appear as taped or pinned on a wooden surface, a practice that refers to a specific form of illusionism that proliferated in 17th century Northern Europe called quodlibet (what you will).

As Jean Baudrillard wrote in The System of Objects: “We are fascinated by what has been created…because the moment of creation cannot be reproduced.”

Lilly Nungarrayi Hargraves d. 2018

Born, worked and lived in Australia

Nungarrayi was an avid artist and lover of her culture who sadly passed away in May this year. She was driven to record and preserve knowing, fighting against the power of time and the new impeding culture. Nungarrayi loved colour and expression. In her later years her style changed slightly showing more freedom and use of colour, while years of experience with brushes show skilled execution and technique. Nungarrayi produced some truly stunning work in her later years with heavy bold confident brushwork manipulating a broad range of colour. This artist’s depth of character and life experience is reflected in her work. She was also known as Maggie Jurrah/Hargraves. Nungarrayi was one of the old Warlpiri desert walkers, born in the Tanami Desert in her country near Jilla Well. Nungarrayi’s art is held in a number of major collections, and she has been widely exhibited both in Australia and overseas, including France and the USA. In 2009 Nungarrayi was a finalist in the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards.

Stephen Jaques

Born in Derby lives and works in London

Stephen Jaques’ work is a constant cycle of reinvention and discovery. From sacred geometry to anthropomorphic form, colour binding together disparate elements. The process is akin to alchemical transformation – a perpetual unfolding. Driven by instinct, disorder harnessed in pursuit of the idea. His sources range from ancient art and symbolism to contemporary design and architecture, and these together create the pop mechanics of the paintings.

Kittey Malarvie

Born, lives and works in Australia

“I was born at the gold mine - Brockman near Halls Creek. I grew up at the Ord River Station between Mistake Creek and Spring Creek. I travelled to Kununurra with my family in the early 1970s where I first learnt boab carving and artefact making with my mother and father. We used to sell to tourists to make money. My dad was teaching us and we were selling in the street in Kununurra and then through the first Waringarri. We would go out on weekends looking for boab nuts to carve and sell. It was a hard time but a good time. These days I prefer to paint and make prints. Recently focusing on painting practice, Kittey reveals layers of meaning and story in rich ochre paintings that connect to her traditional desert country south west of Kununurra. Layers of circle motifs interpet the transition of the seasons and a land that is flooded and dry by turns leaving behind the patterned ground of “luga” cracked mud.”

Marlarvie’s recent Milkwater series depicts a meditation on the multifaceted play of wind and light across a remarkable place of black soil and water the colour of milk. Painting primarily in ochres of pinks, black, greys and milky whites, the artist translates the language of her country into the gestures and utterances of international abstraction.

Andrea Medjesi-Jones

Lives and works in London

Andrea Medjesi-Jones’s practice considers painting as an ideological tool for political mobilty and communication. This is negotiated in relationship to material and performative acts of making and is communicated through means of formal abstraction and specific historical and cultural references that are formative of painterly Avant-Garde.

The work re-examines the notion of abstraction as a construct that simulates productive, bio-technological systems of the body. Through production of material and formal variables whose explicit references are situated within painterly language and history, the work resembles automated and coded machines, whose repetitive and restrictive, laborious and rigid gestures comment on disciplinarian and enclosed strategies of labour.

Propped against it are wooden poles and structures wrapped in remnants of unpicked canvas, proxy to the production of the paintings. The paradox arises when the system begins to show its vulnerability, revealed through sensuous layers of pigment and colour.

The two models (the paintings and the objects) aim to mobilize our relationship to body, that sits in tension between its sensuality and automation. This is done both physically and conceptually, forging a link with the methods of labour that are not always alienating but provide a potential for invention and interconnectedness of its singularities.

Donald Moko

Born, lives and works in Australia

Donald Moko is a senior law man from the Mindi Mindi clan of the Yulparija. He was born at Kalajadu near Wangkatjungka, west of Well 33 on the Canning Stock Route in the Great Sandy Desert. He grew up travelling all around his traditional country with his parents. He went through law and trained as a traditional Maparn (medicine man). This took him travelling all around. He came to Bidyadanga in the late 1960’s with his wife Mary Meribida and their children.

Mali Morris

Born in Wales Lives and works in London

Mali Morris explores in her abstract paintings how colour can construct luminosity, building complex layers of rhythmic pictorial space; she investigates the language of painting, its ever-changing expressive possibilities, and how it could relate to our experience in the world.

Born in 1945 in north Wales, she graduated from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne (Fine Art BA) in 1968, and the University of Reading (MFA) in 1970. Her first major exhibitions were at the Serpentine Summer Show 3, London, 1977 and the Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, 1979. Since then she has held over 35 solo shows worldwide, and has been included in numerous group shows, in London at the Barbican, Hayward Gallery, Serpentine Gallery, Whitechapel Gallery, at the Walker Art Gallery Liverpool, Whitworth Gallery Manchester, Museum of Wales Cardiff, as well as a number overseas.

She has received awards from the Arts Council, British Council, DAIWA Anglo-Japanese Foundation, Elephant Trust, GLAA, the Lorne Award and the Sunny Dupree Award.

Her work is held in many private and public collections, including Arts Council, British Council, Contemporary Arts Society, Royal Collection, and Museum of Wales, Cardiff.

Alice Nampitjinpa

Born, lives and works in Australia

Alice was born in 1943 near Talaalpi, which is a swamp near to Walungurru on the Western Australian border. Prior to her painting Alice worked for many years at the Kintore School teaching girls dancing and the traditions of the desert. Alice started painting on the “Minyama Tjukurrpa” - the Kintore Haasts Bluff collaborative canvas project. As a painter she is inspired by her rich cultural heritage, and thrives when involved with her stories and lore.

Alice is an active “dancing woman” who travels widely to participate in annual ceremonies and “Women’s Law” meetings.

Kitty Napangka Simon

Born, lives and works in Australia

Napanangka works with a variety of traditional and contemporary mediums, both body painting in natural ochre as well as acrylic on linen and canvas. She is a very traditional woman who understands the complexities and history of her culture. Kitty was born in Yuendumu and arrived in Lajamanu at 10 years of age from Lake Mackay, where most of her family are from.

Kitty’s early experiences during a traditional desert walking life combined with her present life in Lajamanu as well as her depth of knowledge of Walpiri culture is the magic combination that defines her style and her masterly use of colour today. Kitty uses a mixture of line work, coming from body art and ceremony, and intricate dot work.

Born in Yuendumu in 1948, Kitty painted her first works in the late 1980s. However in the desert, as in the city, life takes over and Kitty devoted all her time and energy to bringing up her children.

Picking up the brush with renewed vigor in 2008, Kitty experimented with various styles before adopting a different, looser, more immediate, approach at the beginning of 2013.

This new style has proved an immediate triumph.
