| James Hands | |
| If Impressionism is to be defined as an attempt to record a visual reality by reflecting the transient effects of colour and light, then James Hand's work began in the same vain, with very similar concerns. Using his own visual reality as reference, as well as taking technical direction from the works of some of the great Impressionists, James began to explore paint, its effects and capabilities. Hands began by establishing a strong visual foundation by which to begin exploring transient light, colour and texture. His most recent empirical explorations seem not only to examine these concerns but to visually magnify the previous works appearance, and in doing so creating seemingly abstract compositions of light colour and texture. James Hands is one of Londonart's most popular artists. His work has been celebrated across Europe and is held in numerous private collections. | |

| Jo Lewis | |
| The interaction of water, colour and surface, in a particular place and time is a constant preoccupation for artist Jo Lewis. Fascinated by the relationship and behaviour of one of nature's strongest elements, Lewis' work reflects the beauty of the landscape, the water, rivers, streams and oceans, within it. Specialising in water based paints and inks Jo predominantly creates her work while on location and often incorporates the natural water source into the process of creating the work. "The movement and flow of water across the paper as it meets the paint leaves a unique trace. Maybe only seconds apart, but in that new moment of weather, tide and wind, the paper records a new image." Jo Lewis' recent work has been created from different locations along London's famous, River Thames. In 2001 Jo Lewis was awarded a Champions for Change Millennium grant, and more recently was commissioned by Hermes UK to produce artwork for display in their London shop windows. | |

| Patrick Burke | |
| Patrick Burke is obviously greatly influenced by the work of the Late American Abstract Expressionist, Mark Rothko. Similar to Rothko’s characteristic paintings, Patrick Burke uses large rectangular bands of colour and layers of thin washes of different hues to create a pulsating often-hazy quality. However, where Rothko’s colour palette often produced the effect of calmness and contemplation, Burkes vivid, fresh spectrum seems to refresh the senses rather than calm them. | |

| Olga Gal | |
| Originally trained as a ceramicist, Olga now translates those 3 dimensional skills on to a 2 dimensional plane. Strong and powerful imagery is combined with equally fervent washes of deep earthy colours, often juxtaposing figurative imagery with bold yet soft blocks of colour. Using an essentially geometric structure she produces some well balanced and well executed paintings. | |

| Martin Cook | |
| Martin Cook has already reached a point in his career that most artists will never achieve in their lifetime. Now enjoying a successful twenty two year career as a painter, Cook's unpretentious and modest approach to making art comes partly from his ability to deconstruct and embrace what it is that makes his paintings a success, "If I can paint a figure or landscape well, and at the same time inject atmosphere, mood, and a little artistic style into it, then I am happy," and partly from his ability to simply not complicate things and enjoy what he does. "My aim is to create a painting that you will want to look at and enjoy every day." Says Martin Cook, adding, "Paintings that will make the viewer feel intrigued and appreciative of the techniques involved in creating it."

| Keith Jones | |
| Fantasy and reality are the conjoined twins of Keith Jones' practice. One would like to find themselves in some of the stories that Keith tells, but would not like to get involved in others.Pleasant landscapes are depicted in bright acrylics, but also there is a malignant presence in the some of these works, a presence that is fully evident in the grim and grey paintings that feature wolves, and strange behaviour in dark places.Keith has been working as a nurse with people that have learning disabilities. He often relates to his nurse practice in his work, which gives them a touch of biographical tone. Painting is a hobby that he treats very seriously - it has always been part of his life no matter how long some intervals might have taken. He has an interest in forensic science and this may inform the subject matter of some of his works.
