Anna Creighton is currently working on a series inspired by a collection of U.S Cities. Her work has been by collected by several high profile television personalities, and has been commissioned by a number of large property developers. Creighton has received media acclaim, including coverage from the BBC.

Stephen Cunliffe aims to present us with an idea of painting. Influence by Deleuze and Guattaris, his essentially geometric compositions are initially created on the computer. “I draw using the PC, save and print ‘pleasing’ images from which I make a painting.” he says. “I do not consider the geometric work abstract, (although I may be abstracting an idea of painting). Opaque colour and lines reiterate the logic of pictorial space but without chiaroscuro modeling. Simplification presents colour and gesture as ideographic, not a metaphor or an equivalent for ‘emotions’ but as factual“. Stephen Cunliffe completed an MA in Fine Art painting in 2003.

Howard Davies Recalling the Russian Constructivists of the early twentieth century Howard Davies’ brash abstract forms derive from Modernist architecture and industrial design. The monochrome works have the claustrophobic layers of an Escher, the ordered shapes of technology are set into free fall. Patterns from the manmade world are blended with shapes from nature in disturbed geometry, the images burst with bold energy expanding or constrained with in the forms.
