Born and still living in the Asturias region, this Spanish artist sets his works in vistas just on the edge of familiarity. Yet with their dreamlike feel and the unsettling characters that inhabit them, Santiago imbues them with a surreal atmosphere that hints at his nation's rich contribution to that movement.

Can an artist live a happy and contented life but yet realise their true creative potential, or does the old adage that an artist must suffer for his art hold true? Paulo Rogerio Bastos Ferreira an artist born in Brazil in the early sixties is a living testament to both sides of the argument. An extensive traveller Paulo began making art out of necessity, both in a creative sense and a financial one and has consistently documented his life through his art, working through the turbulent times in life as well as the happy. His work reflects the highs and lows with equal strength and has shaped a remarkable body of work.

Lesley Finney's artwork is not only decorative, with an all-over patterned intensity and is full of surprises."Arctic (aquamarine)" provides a landscape with a very distinctive colour scheme which is highly unusual but feasible. Contrast this with "Priceless" which uses gold leaf and has a relief-like quality but which seems to herald the importance of having a heart. Finally "The Edge of Reason" is an imaginative landscape which at first glance looks like waves, perhaps parting like those of the Red Sea in the biblical story. But it could similarly be cliffs: either way, the viewer is brought up short against a vertical face, the testing of one's limits. This is certainly art that communicates well.

A riot of colours clash and collide, creating a soulful impression on the viewer. Val Flack makes work that breathes with life and dances with a bright rhythm across the canvass. In some paintings he uses pale blues and pinks to make his work is soothing and calming, whereas in other works deep reds punctuate the colour scheme, giving heat and verve. A vivid sense of composition means that Flack is able to create paintings that come alive and are full of interesting details. Black or blue geometric shapes sit on top of flowing abstract backgrounds, providing a depth to this art that is hard to ignore. An appreciation of music provides wonderful inspiration as Val Flack endeavours to give his images a sense of cadence. Having exhibited widely across Europe and in the United States over the last twenty years, Flack is now a member of the LondonArt community.
