I have placed romanticised cityscapes in high contrast alongside tattered postcards. Nostalgic stills from a luminescent past which seem strangely familiar yet eerily distant. I use a palette of cross processed Kodachrome in order to create drama and atmosphere, a work that appears 'half Iremembered’.wasgluedto the television as a child and often use film stills to create my work. The postcards I stumbled across in second hand shops and they seemed like they were already little works of art. This use of what I call 'second hand' imagery are just the tools I use in order to obtain the real goal of creating a work of art that carries the drama and atmosphere of an experimental new wave film. I collage together these little vignettes of postcards, films and photography in order to combine memory, dreams and fantasy into a finished artwork.

Anne-Marie Zanetti uses simple, flowing elements, as well as rich colour, tone, and detail to create her contemporary, expressive oil paintings. Her figurative and still-life paintings are inspired by beauty, saturated in light, and rendered in layers of fine smooth brushstrokes so as not to distract from the overall drama of the composition. Through her conversation with paint, she is continuously exploring and transforming her emotional landscape. In her works, she aims to highlight the preciousness of objects and moments in time that might otherwise seem insignificant… creating an intimate atmosphere of the artist’s own personal experience and inviting the viewer to share in her unique vision.

“In the development of my compositions, I derive inspiration from the art of the Dutch Baroque, Flemish and French 18th Century still life painters.
The classical painting technique of this period involves a slow process including a sepia tonal underpainting, followed by consecutive layers of local colour and finally transparent glazes.”
Jo Young
“Like characters in theatre, objects are carefully staged in an intimate space… Drama is created by emphasis, highlights, reflections and shadows. In the depiction of silk, porcelain, fruit, silver and wood, I wish to explore the intrinsic qualities of the objects through tone, texture, mood and atmosphere.”

“Contemporary Landscape painting has its detractors, but I believe it remains full of potential. My work considers the meaning and metaphor of natural forces, in the tradition of Constable and Turner, artists who recognise the power, beauty and grace of nature and our relationship with it.”
Gareth Edwards
Gareth Edwards is a British contemporary landscape painter. Gareth is a graduate of Goldsmiths College, an elected RWA Academician, and is a long-time resident of St Ives’ historic Porthmeor Studios, previously occupied by luminaries of British painting such as Patrick Heron and Ben Nicholson. He is a sessional tutor at the Newlyn School of Art and a prominent member of the Newlyn Society of Artists.
Demonstrating a powerful approach to process and the materiality of paint, his work invites us to contemplate ideas of the human ‘journey’our physical journey through time and space, and our psychological journey of existence. At their heart, his paintings aspire to a state of beauty and to what the artist describes as ‘emotional weather’, exploring equivalents in external environment and internal atmosphere.

Mairi Ward paints intuitively, as a response to her surroundings, from the perspective that she is emersed and inseparable from her environment. The results are abstract works composed of intricate layers of overlapping with interlocking forms and colours. The paintings reflect moments of personal freedom, whilst being present and in the moment.
Mairi lives and works in Tasmania preferring to spend the majority of her time in the spectacular isolation in the Tasmanian countryside. She exhibits across Australia and has participated in many international shows. Arts Tasmania, Tasmanian Regional Arts and the Australia Council for the Arts have supported and invested regularly in Mairi's work practice. Mairi has been selected for five public art commissions and has been a finalist in several prestigious Australian art prizes.

Michell Cheesman
Mitchell Cheesman is at the beginning of his career and the future looks bright. With thoughtfulness and a thirst for knowledge, he immerses himself in the arts, music, literacy and resonating artistic practices which seem unstoppable at this juncture in his life. His favourite artists are his heroes, his taste in music is eclectic and wide, all entwining to play their part in his own creative outflow. Within the abstract compositions, do you recognise the whole posy or the single bloom? In the more figurative work, you may identify subjects from a fun and bygone era. Every painting has a narrative with titles that are abstract, curious but bold and maybe a little poignant. Prose that comes to mind in a split second once the work is completed. To own a Mitchell Cheesman is to have a painting, a sculpture, a story and even music playing lightly somewhere in the distance.

Rhonda considers her work to be stylised and am very much influenced by the classical heroic figurative form. Her desire is for her work to be about form and mood and hopefully viewers are compelled to touch and feel the lines for themselves.
Rhonda Cao
Rhonda works exclusively with the human form in bronze . She has discovered an original language in her personal response to the nude form. The human body is a subject much explored in the history of art, she feels confident that she has developed something totally new and original. Rhonda focuses on its abstract qualities, reducing the form to elegant curves and angles making each body appear simultaneously both weightless and Rhondagrounded.loves working with the human form and find the shape, movement and expression that can be achieved by stylising this form exciting and inspirational. she feels the blend of movement, abstraction and balance challenging and loves exploring where this challenge will lead.
Working with the male form is a particularly interesting challenge – how to stylise without parody and how to simplify shape the movement that is uniquely male. Rhonda rarely uses any armatures or structure when creating her pieces as they are too restricting. Often the piece she has been working on has been triggered by a scribble and it does not really have form until she plays around and develops it. There is a price to pay for this – there have been many a morning when Rhonda has come back into her studio to find the piece has broken or tipped over during the night. Rarely does it destroy the piece – it just creates a new version and even a different direction.

This is manifested in her ceramic characters which may seem humorous and childish but at the same time thought-provoking.
Dai Li’s inspiration is drawn from everyday life, art and culture and the observation of people’s responses to the world around them. Her work focuses on situational responses with human emotional states observed, how these manifest externally, and the mystery of how they arrived at this point.
Often the works explore everyday situations, with normal activities but always evoking an intriguing window into the quirkiness of individuals and often including a cheeky, knowing expression. So much can be expressed through the smallest glance or the coolest accessory.

Through contemporary bronze and iron sculpture, I have achieved my own style, personal iconography and methodology. My universe includes symbolic elements: maps, globes, staircases, seas of methacrylate, books... The details of my characters present situations and frames that are to be read in depth and complicity, which allows me to capture abstract concepts, feelings, sensations and everything that flows inside my inner to transform everyday dilemmas into something beautiful: with a little artwork, that captures the beauty of a moment. I confess that a point of intrigue can be breathed in some of my sculptures. They show stories, dreams and illusions and I try to approach them subtly. The main character of my stories are very everyday elements and situations that show snapshots full of emotions and feelings of the journey of life: women taking their time to decide at a crossroads of their life, men enjoying their moments of relaxation, small pleasures, moments of pause, meditation, little epiphanies... Behind a precise description of reality, there is a meditated story, which each one can read his own way...
