As her paintings of the Yorkshire Dales attest, Barbara Rawcliffe is an accomplished painter with a perceptive feel for capturing the vagaries of our beautiful British landscape. But added to this are wonderful lyrical details which animate her compositions and give a feminine appeal. Indeed works such as 'Walking Home' and 'Walk in the Forest' in their sureness of line, solid colour and paint application put one in mind of the beautiful paintings of Winifred Nicholson and Paula Modersohn-Becker.

As an abstract artist Van Renselar is more concerned with form and colour as an alternative to subject matter. It is not his aim to represent our surroundings or any particular object, he takes ideas from experiences which are visual, cerebral and emotional in nature. His inspiration can as easily be sparked by lines from a song as by an emotional event. Colour is equally as important as the general design and he will spend a lot of time perfecting the tone of a particular colour, his primary objectives being to establish harmony both in terms of composition and the use of colour. Van Renselar grew up in South Wales and London, where he now lives and works.

Giorgi Revazishivilli's is essentially a landscape painter working in Oils on Canvas. Her unique way of framing the canvas before she begins painting, then incorporating it within the painting, really does help her works to become windows on to a moment in time.

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.

Jonathan Ridley has been an artist for as long as he can remember. "It started off with daubs of colour, pictures of soldiers shooting each other, and bubblegum factories." He says. A self taught artist Ridley hopes to explore complex notions of the human condition. "The world moves at such a fast pace and we pile things around ourselves, objects, fashions, sensibilities, trends, and material to try to fill the gap." Says Jonathan, adding, "I try in my paintings to get people to look in a mirror, and challenge their ideas about humanity and its place or pace in the world." Jonathan Ridley has exhibited across the South East and Brighton, UK, where he currently lives and works.

For the past fifteen years Andrew has painted abstract work, but fascination with the figure and furthermore, with the complex nature of being a human being, brought Andrew back to the tradition of figurative painting. Now, the artist explores composition, narrative, humour and psychology. He would like us, the viewer, to study the surface, texture and colour but also to interpret the scenes and characters.
