Daniel explores the potential of breaking free from the confines of static, ordered singularity.

Daniel’s early work was in reaction to the macabre in Victorian butterfly displays and inspired by his desire to breathe life into them. Daniel replaced uniformity with movement and created hand-cut compositions that appeared to be breaking free of their frames.

Each piece begins with a two-dimensional image and evolves into a three-dimensional object: fabricated in paper-based materials by hand, using a unique blend of 5 (or however many) precision processes.

This obsession with truth and fiction is the golden thread that runs throughout the life and work of the Connor Brothers and is particularly relevant in the current climate of fake news, post-truth and social media.

The brothers create retro style figurative images which encourage us to challenge our assumptions and preconceptions, and as a result to perhaps see the world a little differently. Their interest in undermining our assumptions and casual acceptance of cultural norms is reflected in their extraordinary background.

Leanne Christie, born in Warwickshire, England, is a celebrated artist renowned for her vivid portrayals of nature. Her teenage years spent near the scenic coast of Gwithian Towans in Cornwall left a profound imprint on her creative path. Now residing in Devon, Leanne draws from the region’s shifting moorlands, stunning coastlines, and famed floral hedgerows for inspiration.

Leanne’s work is fueled by the lively imagery of English gardens, wildflower meadows, and dynamic seascapes. Over two decades, her passion for painting was sparked by watching her mother create art in the studio. Her pieces, described as prolific, stand out for their use of oil paints adorned with glitter, jewels, and gold leaf, resulting in textured, nearly three-dimensional works that captivate audiences.

From flowerscapes to seascapes, waterscapes, and moorlands, Leanne’s art invites viewers into a world of textured beauty. The play of light throughout the day enchants her paintings, giving them a magical, lifelike quality.

Leanne Christie welcomes special commissions, continuing to mesmerize with her ability to elevate the ordinary into extraordinary through her captivating art.

Charlotte Cornish is a distinguished artist who studied Fine Art Printmaking at Brighton and pursued postgraduate studies at the Slade and Central St. Martins in the 1990s. She stands as one of the leading figures in the contemporary abstract printmaking movement.

Her artistic vision is deeply influenced by her extensive travels in Central America and the Far East. Drawing inspiration from her experiences, Cornish's work is a captivating blend of elements from the observed world and her own emotional responses.

Cornish's fascination with paint and its diverse possibilities is evident in her choice of acrylic as her preferred medium. The medium's quick-drying nature allows her to build up layers of thinly poured paint, creating a contrast with directly applied, thicker marks. The meticulous process involves waiting for each layer to dry before introducing new marks, providing her with the flexibility to modify or remove sections without impacting the underlying layers. Each painting takes approximately eight weeks to complete.

“As you begin to fill the sheet of paper with your ideas, you are truly in the purest creative zone. Sometimes writing a single word can steer you in a completely different creative direction, which allows you to develop fresh and unexpected solutions. Although the process can be chaotic and random, the moment you scribble an idea that solves the brief – you know it. A few lines, a word or two – just enough to prompt your mind’s eye to see what it can be when nurtured to its full potential.

In the days or weeks that follow this, despite the process still being creative, the excitement and immediacy of these initial ideas is never repeated. All of the development work that follows, colour palettes, typefaces, formats, timings, reviews and roll-outs are essentially the measured execution of the initial spark. That’s what this work is about, letting the ‘sparks’ take centre stage in their unvarnished form.”

Chuck Elliott (b. 1967, Camberwell, London) is a pioneer of digitally generated art. He claims to have used the first Apple Macintosh imported to the UK in 1984, the same year Apple launched the computers with their now infamous Orwellian advertising campaign.

Acquiring his own machine in 1989, he has been drawing, sculpting, editing and compositing digitally ever since. Graduating in 1992, he founded a succession of small, successful studios in London. In 2005 he moved to Bristol, where he now works full time on his sublime, fluid studies in light, colour, motion and liquid geometry.

Delighting in the machines' ability to hone and craft sculptural drawings, render, edit, mix, cut, paste, sculpt, and re edit, colour spaces are manipulated, light levels finely tuned, and a myriad of images and series of derivations are produced, using processes analogous to the way in which modern music is realised.

Chuck Elliott is reinterpreting the essence of abstract fine art printmaking for the digital age. Pure logical progression.

Charlotte's childhood experiences have undoubtedly influenced her artistic style and approach. Growing up in the eighties, when technology was not as ubiquitous as it is today, she was given the freedom and encouragement to explore the great outdoors and let her imagination run wild. These formative experiences have given her a unique perspective and a deep appreciation for the natural world, which is reflected in her artwork.

With a background in design, Charlotte has developed a keen eye for shape, colour, and composition. She loves to experiment with different media, but her true passion lies in painting. For Charlotte, painting is a meditative process where she can lose herself in the moment and allow the artwork to come together before her eyes.

Charlotte's artwork is a reflection of her love for nature and her desire to share that love with others. She believes that art has the power to bring people together and inspire them to appreciate the beauty of the world around them. Through her unique perspective and artistic talent, Charlotte can create stunning works of art that capture the imagination and inspire the soul.

Galindo's unique artistic style is characterised by his inventive approach to applying paint to canvas. Utilising a variety of techniques and mediums, he masterfully layers paint to create depth and contrast. His bold use of contemporary colors, combined with abstract details of wild animals, results in works that are both visually striking and emotionally compelling.

Galindo's art is an exploration of emotion and sentiment, captured through the expressive faces of animals that forge a connection with viewers. His unconventional tools—ranging from spoons to nails and bits of rubber—add an element of spontaneity to his work, making each piece irreplicable. The randomness of his technique, often involving a flick of the wrist or a swoosh of the arm, ensures that every painting is a unique expression of his artistic vision.

Joe Galindo continues to captivate audiences with his distinctive approach to art, challenging traditional boundaries and inviting viewers to interpret his work through their own lens. His journey from Yorkshire to the far corners of the globe has enriched his artistry, allowing him to infuse his paintings with a sense of wonder and exploration.

Kimberley Harris, an artist known for her evocative landscapes, has been deeply inspired by the works of J.M.W. Turner since childhood. Her artistic journey began with a memorable visit to a Turner exhibition at the Tate Gallery with her father, a passionate admirer of impressionist art. This pivotal moment sparked a lifelong ambition to emulate the genius she admired.

In 2005, Kimberley earned a Diploma in Art and Design, laying the groundwork for her future in the art world. However, it was in 2014 that her passion for painting truly reignited. After meeting a renowned artist who introduced her to the medium of oils and the technique of palette knife painting, Kimberly quickly developed her own distinctive style.

Kimberley's artwork captures the serene beauty of the countryside that surrounds her, with a particular focus on the interplay of color and light. "Turner's artistic inspiration is never far from my thoughts," she reflects. Her method involves meticulous layering and blending, using a palette knife to achieve the desired tone, texture, and luminosity. This process is integral to her practice, allowing her to convey the changing moods of the natural world.

“My style aims to convey optimism – Light in the Darkness”

Alison's atmospheric oil paintings are vibrant and seductive and focal points for any space. By expressing the power of light playing amongst the water drops, this artist shows the abstract, surreal side of the natural world.

Her seascapes follow a deep tradition that Johnson modernises and brings to the contemporary forefront. Colours sink below a piercing white surface as oceans and landscapes drift in and out of a sweeping hazy mist.

Such is the atmosphere contained in these works they could easily be viewed as pure abstractions, each detail vital enough to stand alone.

Aiden Kringen, born in Los Angeles in 1992, has traversed a mosaic of landscapes throughout his life, from the vibrant American West to the rich cultural tapestries of Mexico. His journey through diverse locales—Sebastopol, Jalisco, Portland, and Flagstaff—has profoundly shaped his artistic vision. Now settled in the picturesque surroundings of Sonoma County, Kringen continues to draw inspiration from the ever-changing play of light and shadow across the hills and vineyards.

Working primarily in acrylic and mixed media on canvas, Kringen's linework, executed with a Micron pen, forms the backbone of his complex compositions. He often incorporates gloss mediums to enhance the prismatic character of his pieces, and sometimes adds gold and silver leaf to evoke the luxurious drama reminiscent of Gustav Klimt's mosaic-like creations. Klimt, along with fellow Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele, stands as one of Kringen’s most significant influences.

Kringen’s hypersensitivity to likeness and gesture distinguishes his portraits, which capture the vivid individuality of his subjects. His work transcends conventional paradigms of beauty, shedding light on idiosyncrasies, eccentricities, optimism, and fatalism. While his subjects possess undeniable beauty, it is their essential character that Kringen illuminates in his refined genre of psychological portraiture. His fragmented linework serves as a tool to define and refine facial features, adding depth and dimension without resorting to gimmickry.

Supercharged with colour, McQueen’s book-themed artworks create an effect not dissimilar to the giant playing cards in Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Taking an object you can hold in your hands and blowing it up into something you can hang on your wall has been a long-time fascination of the artist, who seeks to capture the look and feel of vintage books via layers of stripped-back paint. An avid collector, he can often be found amongst the dusty shelves and secret backrooms of old bookshops in New York and London.

Using paint and a spray can, McQueen light-heartedly subverts the traditional representation of book covers through his tongue-in-cheek titles and bold, contemporary aesthetic. The subject of books – explored by artists including the American illustrator Norman Rockwell – is given a modern feel through the incorporation of graffiti elements. Inspired by artists like Rothko, these urban touches elevate the vintage, distressed feel of the book covers, adding texture and challenging their history. McQueen adds: "I want to create that wear and tear, that authenticity. It’s too easy to do something clean. It’s too easy to do something with straight lines. It’s much harder to make something look old and tired."

The rural setting and landscape of Derbyshire and the Peaks drew Oli away from London, and it’s this landscape which the artist continues to draw upon today. Captivated by colour and form, Oli makes his work in response to the inherent beauty he sees within his surroundings. And ‘seeing’ is a critical point for the artist’s practice. Oli’s work is concerned with the notion of looking more intensely and truly appreciating the world around us - how light, colour, and space really work; how together they shape our experience of the world, and how rewarding it is to record and represent this intense ‘seeing’ through art.

Oli works predominantly in pastel, enjoying the directness and physicality of the medium and process; blending a distinctive palette of colour and building layers, often in collage - using pastel worked into paper.

Roffway, draws profound inspiration from the tranquil landscapes of Buckinghamshire, England. Born in Hertfordshire, Roffway developed an early appreciation for the idyllic English countryside, eventually making it both his home and the central muse for his captivating paintings.

Roffway's educational background in both art and photography culminates in a unique fusion of these disciplines within his work. His paintings are a harmonious blend of soft-focus realism and painterly traditionalism, creating a signature style that has garnered him distinction in the contemporary art world. This interdisciplinary approach allows Roffway to express a distinctive voice, melding photographic precision with the emotive depth of painting.

"Painting gives me the freedom to tell a story which photography could not always allow," Roffway explains. "I strive to evoke an emotional connection between my art and the viewer, be it sparking a memory or portraying a certain feeling." As he works, Roffway immerses himself in classical music and film scores, finding that these auditory experiences enhance the romance and drama imbued within each painting.

Roffway's work is characterized by a serene calmness, achieved through a muted color palette and the delicate feathering of his brushstrokes. His paintings evoke nostalgia and reflection, inviting viewers into a world where the beauty of the English countryside offers a perpetual sense of escapism. With each piece, Roffway captures the essence of tranquility, allowing his audience to experience the serene joy of nature's embrace.

Born in Cheshire in 1968, Shrigley started studying art at Leicester Polytechnic in 1987 before heading to Glasgow School of Art for his degree in environment art in 1988, a time when he believed “there wasn't a precedent for people selling work that wasn't figurative painting.” Shrigley believes he is an outsider to the art world for his flat compositions taking on the inconsequential, the bizarre, and the disquieting elements of daily life.

Inspired by a simplicity of sorts, David Shrigley’s art is recognisable for his flat compositions accompanied by satirical comments on mundane, everyday situations. Perhaps featuring a cartoon elephant, penguins, basketballs or people, Shrigley finds himself influenced by the animated spirit of contemporary visual culture.

David Shrigley’s cartoon-like characters are accompanied by his humorous and witty narratives, leaving the onlooker lost in the satirical world of David Shrigley. Known to challenge boundaries in the artworld,
