Essentially a figurative painter, Christian Ward finds great inspiration from closely observing human behaviour. The way in which the physicality of our bodies are used to express or evoke a mood or emotion - a fleeting glance or slight raise of the eyebrow - can suggest so much. Christian Ward's paintings hope to transport the viewer into a world of descriptive narrative; 'To far away places, places that 'could, should or would never exist'.

Johannes Phokela is a South African born artist currently based in London. Phokela’s extentsive study of art history combined with his cheeky sense of humour lead him to question and subsequently rework iconic images by the old Masters, such as Rubens and Bruegel. Johannes frequently changes the gender and/or key figures in the piece resulting in dramatic and unsettling images that challenge nationalistic and ethnic narratives around contemporary and historical art.
