The work of John Jukes Johnson is created using a wide variety of methods. The works shown here comprise monoprint and textural collages on paper; often using phototransfers on paper or canvas. The works are abstract and at times contain elements of figuration. They employ grid formats and geometric shapes. The use of sand in "Marginals (2 panels)" somehow evokes the textural works of Alberto Burri, whilst at times the artist's art is redolent of Enrico Baj or Robert Rauschenberg with his use of photographic montage. A number of different Modernist art languages are cited and together there is a play between the textural surface and the space of the picture as a window. Throughout, there is seemingly an allusion to the ephemeral and a claim for the freedom of the artist to use whatever means necessary.

Tino jurjevi works exclusively in Oil paint. As a landscape painter, he finds tremendous inspiration in pattern and the repetition of mark and form. Dry stone walls, stone homes and small out houses give him ample subject matter as he wonderfully depicts each brick, leaf and stone in his rural village surroundings.

Oscar Karababa takes his inspiration from the human form. "I adore the curves and the softness of a women's body and subconsciously they appear in most of my work in one way or another". Oscar's use of digital media allows him to manipulate form in such a way that it creates environments that only hint at their original source. His use of earthy colours combined with a polished and glossy quality generates a feeling of plasticity, stretched and melting - as if we are seeing a millisecond in time.

Wolf Karpowitz conjurs alternative intense worlds in his drawings and paintings. The sheer detail of a city scape that has been captured is overwhelming. The drawings generate a feeling of alienation particularly due to their dense pencil lines, strong unnatural sharp angles and monochromatic colour schemes. This slightly disorientating effect is lifted in his acrylic paintings where not only is there an effective use of primary colours but softer, more organic forms are present. It appears that Karpowitz is detailing two possible environments and the one which is the most desireable is the natural where people can idle time away in sail boats, gardens and inns.

Pat Keay returned two years ago from Kenya, where she painted, exhibited, taught art, and worked as Educational Co-ordinator for a national gallery for over 20 years. Her work hangs in some prominent buildings in Nairobi, and her passion for light, shade, colour and mood in her ‘place-scapes’ remains informed by her work in Africa. Her recent pictures, celebrate a distinct sense of place, depicting urban London, Crystal Palace and rural Scotland. Her work is not photographic in style but atmospheric and evocative, always based on studies done ‘in situ’.

The work of Simon Kenny is entrancing and atmospheric. In addition to oils, he makes use of a wide range of media such as copper leaf, structure gel and gold leaf to fully realise his ideas. Inevitably comparisons must be made to Turner or John Martyn's sublime invocations of nature. However, Kenny's allusions are less tied to reality and float freely across a number of possibilities, the title playing a key role in guiding a viewer along a particular chain of concepts. For example "Chronicle" hints at the vastness of time which can simultaneously be something measured yet also in reality exceed measure. Illuminated vaporous clouds and geological formations, described by both paint effects and 3D forms are conjured in elemental tones of earth, fire and sky.

Justine Kerr is originally from Edinburgh, Scotland and now lives in Canada. While studying her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Dundee University, she spent two semesters at NSCAD University, Nova Scotia, Canada. This experience proved to be life changing. Here she finds her true calling for stone carving , and her future husband to boot. “I am interested in the dichotomies within myself...exploring these visually in my work; the contrast of textures within stone evokes a warming in my heart……polished stone, the blazing beauty of the intricacies of hidden colours interfaced with contrasting rough markings made by my tools. This is conveyed well in my stone carvings, ‘Imminent’ and ‘Inextricably Bound’, she says. In 2006 and 2008, The Nova Scotia Art Bank purchased Justine Kerr’s art work for their collection and she was recently been awarded a creation grant from the Nova Scotia Arts Council.
