A recurrent device in David Brassington's work is the use of horizontal bands or blocks of colour that merge together to create a hazy boundary. Inspired by American Absract Expressionists particularly Richard Diebenkorn and Jasper Johns, the aim is to encourage the viewer to look both at and beyond the canvas surface - to create meditation pieces.

Caroline Brown's delicate abstract paintings are created by a succession of fine washes of colour and vaporous form which become intertwined with ethereal and fragile line. For Caroline, painting is a visual and internal conversation; dialectic forms and empirical line, searching for a satisfactory whole. Browns painting reflect an internal conversation between her and her visual representation of thought.

The works which I create are generally abstract. The main influences of my art are textile, graphics, paintings and sculpture. Major inspirations are nature, architecture and human figures, creating a strong lyrical even personal character. Generally I am interested in texture and line.

Sarah Simpson's latest series of abstract works are as complex, yet simultaneously as simple as the sublime beauty found in nature. Playing out a battle with paint results in a labyrinth of marks, some ugly; some beautiful, the colour and form working together to form a dialogue. Sarah Simpson's beautiful images emerge from the pure act of painting.

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.
