| 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. | |

| Leo Verhoeven | |
| Verhoeven's flat simplicity of form, repetition and lack of superfluous ornamentation demonstrate the kind of order found in a utopian ideal of architectural and social reform. Bu using solid blocks of bright colours, the artist emphahsises his response to the urban world. He takes a pop influence and uses it to create works that are striking and iconic. The buildings are familiar and the style is forthright, but by creating formative balance and harmony of colour Verhoeven's work contains a subtle depth and power. Confident and accomplished, it is little wonder that Verhoeven is one of our thirty best selling artists. | |

Containing the same beauty as the sight of earth from space, the artist paints gloriously textured work that blend harmonious colour schemes and reflections. The physical and philosophical image of the horizon re-accures in her work, as does the wondeful way that light enhances and changes colour.

| Samantha Loggie | |
| Samantha Loggie is inspired by the beauty of the human form. Specialising in Bronze, her figurative work hopes to reflect a 'fundamental mix of power and vulnerability'. Working with a process based material such as bronze, requires a great deal of patience and foresight from the artist. Samantha's expressive use of gesture and form, roughly modelling the surface of the clay before the sculpture is cast, adds a real sense of fluidity and movement to the final piece. Influenced by film, photography and dance, Samantha's, Bronze sculptures capture an intense sense of emotion in a fleeting moment in time. Loggie's pieces are held in private collections in the UK, the US, South Africa and the Middle East. Samantha has undertaken a number of portrait commissions for a mix of corporate and private clients. | |

| Art can be found anywhere. Rebecca discovered it as a ten year old, in hospital, on its white walls which served as her canvas. Since then, and throughout her life, she has been painting the things that surrounded her early years. Her father, a doctor, and his patients, provided a stream of references to what Francis Bacon termed as 'the human condition'. Rebecca was literally surrounded by illness, injury, birth and death.
Rebecca says that the process of creating art is just as important as the result. "I start almost always from the depths of shadow, which I eliminate layer by layer to reveal the light", she explains.

| Steven Berry’s ‘water paintings’ induce a state of contemplative reflection. Water can generate a state of mind that echo’s the very properties of the water itself. In the same way gentle ripples can soothe, a tempestuous storm can unsettle. The intent to this series of water paintings is to capture a feeling of deep relaxation. A feeling most people understand if they have ever spent an afternoon staring out to sea or on the edge of a riverbank lost in the glimmer of the ripples. | |

| 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. | |

| Richard Young is a British artist living and working in Devon. Richard only recently returned to painting after a number of years travelling the world as a Design Engineer. Taking great inspiration from figurative artists such as Modiglian and Bouguereau, he now has works held in private collections worldwide. He is fascinated primarily by the human, especially female form but also dancers hold a special place in his heart. These are strong figurative works that demonstrate his admirable command of the painting medium. But his skills of draughtsmanship are also clearly shown by his intense, emotive nudes in pastel, often seeming to reveal powerful psychological states.

| Gerry Hunt | |
| In recent years I have started each painting with purely formal, open-ended, classical Abstract Expressionist intentions, until some sort of figurative scenario presents itself to me. Whereupon, with as little sacrifice as possible of the pure painting so far achieved, I encourage a believable real scene to emerge. When I drew with charcoal on paper, which is how I first became aware of this possibility in my work, it usually resulted in figures and/or animals, caught in some rather strange and sometimes funny 'in between' situations. Recently, with slowly increasing success, I have begun to achieve this in my paintings. In order to approach the technical simplicity of using just a stick of charcoal, as I do when I draw on paper, while using oil paint on canvas, I have restricted my palette to the three primary colours and white.

| 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. | |

| Rusudan Khizanishvili is a young contemporary artist working in Tbilisi, the Georgian capital. With influences drawn from great artists such as Gauguin and Cezanne, Khizanishvili's work visibly acknowledges the history of painting and the paintings of the great masters. Her confident use of colour, combined with a palpable and often sensuous handling of oil paint demonstrates a maturity beyond her twenty seven years. Rusudan's approach to both the handling of paint and compositional construction reflects a healthy knowledge of what has come before her, while at the same time clearly display a contemporary set of values and codes of practice. Graduating with a painting degree from the Tbilisi state Academy of Art, Rusudan went on to complete an MA in Media in 2005.

| Veronica Harris
Veronica Harris’s cubist style paintings in oil and acrylic remove a coherent sense of depth to create a shallow ambiguous space. Her representations of the human form and portraits have a stark power and arresting simplicity, figures interplay, symbolic images and expressive marks crowd the darker canvasses. Her Fauve like use of colour creates an energetic dissonance, expression dominates over detail with flat shapes, blocks of colour and controlled lines. Abstract forms reference African tribal art in mural like compositions.

His experienced and mature approach to painting the human condition is clearly reflected in all of his works. Carl Chapple has been studying the human form directly from life for many years. His matured and dedicated painting practice has naturally reinforced his painting skills and technique. His ability to look and capture form and tone without jarring our eye or raising uncertainty in our minds allows us to focus on the painting as a whole, as apposed to questioning the technique applied. | |

| Mixtures of colours blend and compliment each other in these skilfully rendered oil paintings. Typical and unusual settings are treated with respect and painted in an enjoyable and lively manner. Whether it is the cracked eggs and toast of a Sunday morning or the cultured leisure of a long, indulgent afternoon tea, meal times are captured beautifully in works perfect for any kitchen. When the artist turns his hand to the world outside he paints the bustle of a rush hour commute or the deep serenity of the Chilean landscape with equal passion. Deer faces poke out of the canvass and look make inquisitive eye contact with the viewer. These quirky and enjoyable paintings dance with life and vitality and would be perfect in any home or work space.

| Julie Verhoeven | |
| From bags by Louis Vuitton to album covers for the likes of Primal Scream and Kate Moss, Julie's work is extensive, provocative and fun.

Following that, she worked for Martine Sitbon in Paris as a design assistant to consultant. Other consultancies have included Jasper Conran, Richard Tyler, Guy Laroche and Jean Colonna. Throughout all of her vast repertoire though, the key to her work and passion is in her drawings; her fashion illustrations in particular have favoured attention world-wide.

| 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. | |

| David Taylor | |
| David Taylor studied Architecture and Design at the London Design School. His career as an Architect led him to travel extensively, visiting many countries and diverse landscapes across the world. This experience had a powerful effect on him and initially inspired him to begin painting. Taylor uses his visual memory as his main point of reference. By manipulating the oil paint with palette knife and brush, he builds a sense of depth and atmosphere which reflects some of the dramatic weather conditions he so enjoys painting. Looking to Turner for inspiration he hopes to create, “an almost religious and mystic quality to his work.” | |

| Olga Gouskova paints women who are always beautiful and always stylish. Although each painting portrays one woman, these aren't portraits of an individual. They don't seem to reflect individual personalities but instead seem to explore the same personality or an idea of the same stylised personality throughout each of her paintings. The artist's obvious love for pattern and flat washes of colour all help to enhance this idea. Olga Gouskova was born in Russia in 1974 and now lives and works in Belgium. | |

| Ian McCaughrean | |
| Ian McCaughrean's seductive paintings depict a world of abundant colour, consumer goods and social freedom.

With these paintings the artist continues to explore the tension between pure abstraction and pictorial representation. Ian McCaughrean was born in Plymouth, England, in 1963 and now lives and works in South London. After studying a degree in Graphic Design at Maidstone College of Art he then went on to study an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art.

| Oleg Riabchuk | |
| Oleg Riabchuk is an extremely versatile artist who can turn his hand to any number of subjects with great dexterity. He is equally comfortable with portraying architecture, nature or sentimental figurative scenes. Yet perhaps what each painting has in common is the quality of light. A warm glow seems to pervade throughout. There is always a lot going on yet somehow paradoxically, the images suggest tranquility. The rippling of a stream and early morning mists; the warmth of sun on snow or the fragility of dandelion clocks or a child's cupped hands playing hide and seek. There is a definite sensitivity in his treatment of these classic themes. | |

| Measuring the success of each piece of work by his ability to create an image which looks effortless, Truran searches for, “…a Zen-like moment when there seems to be no distinction between the artist and the object of his creation.” Searching to produce paintings in oils which are born out of an unconscious act of creation, he uses brush; rag and finger to produce, he says, “...a feeling that the form emerges as a barely conscious dialogue between the marks on the surface and the artist.” Peter Truran was born in Cornwall and currently lives and works in Cardiff, Wales. | |

| Debra Franses- Bean's use of the handbag as an iconic form began as a method for self portraiture. However, upon the works completion it became apparent that they operate on a more universal level where they reference the female condition. The handbag and its contents reflects all women's cultures and identities. The themes running through the ready made and cast sculptures are bitter sweet and funny. The significance of the design has developed from the personal and turned into an expression for culture in our time.

Attracted to the popular tourist areas of London and New York his paintings remain uplifting and clean cut.

Her contemporary approach to pose, dynamic composition and colour produces paintings that are modern, proud, vibrant and uniquely individual. The result is refreshingly direct and unsentimental portraiture.

| Moody abstract backgrounds and emotive figurative shapes combine to create powerful images that sink into the mind. This is a world where Geishas are gift wrapped for thier clients as ghostly figures look on. Michael Rafferty is a multi-talented artist, unbound by style or technique, who has gained success through his career and been exhibited many times around the country. His work is ecclectic, dynamic and technically skillful. In his abstract paintings concepts are rendered with balanced stripes and colours, creating dizzying windows into the mind of the artist.

| SERGEJ HAHONIN
Russian born Sergej Hahonin studied painting in Omsk then at Krasnojarsk Academy of Art in Siberia where he specialized in ceramics and pottery. His masterly depiction of the human figure displays his classical training and native skill, as a 4-year old child he won the award for the best painting in Soviet Union drawn by a pre-school child.He has enjoyed a long career as both a painter and curator in Russia and Slovenia. His work reflects the influence of Gustav Klimt’s art nouveau style, particularly his ‘Golden phase’, in his choice of female form as his main subject matter, his sensual and intense use of colour and frank eroticism.
His dynamic use of paint integrates accident and the uncontrolled to express themes of passion and sexuality, he adapts art nouveau forms to a tribal style.

| Fabio Rota | |
| The figures in Fabio Rota’s paintings often take inspiration from mythical characters and themes. Inherent within all of Rota’s works, is a powerful feeling of intense pain and anguish. This is somewhat created by the positioning and form of the elongated figure, tension of the muscles and tightness of the skin and by the way in which all his figures are encapsulated, often disappearing in to a dead blackness. | |

| David Watmough was born in Lincolnshire where he spent the early part of his career. In 1972 he moved to London to Study at the Slade School of Fine Art, London. The knowledge and technique David Watmough has acquired, in a career spanning over 30 years has become his anchor rather than a dead weight, and with each new work his creativity enlightens. "I believe that a picture can make a difference to a person's life - particularly a hand made image." Says David - and in him and his work we believe too.
