Michael Bowdidge has been a practicing artist since 1989 and has worked in a variety of media, including collage, assemblage, installation and photography. His current sculptural practice makes use of found materials at a variety of scales ranging from small wall pieces to large-scale site-specific installations. All of these works share a simplicity of construction which aspires to an almost mathematical elegance, necessitating a high degree of formal rigour. There is also a fascination with the process of transformation, manifested here as a continuous testing of the representational limits of materials, in order to explore the tension between what they are and what they might become. |

ewitt uses symbolic narrative to explore the notion of reality and fiction. Her paintings are presented as environments of connecting plots or pieces within a larger narrative, transforming the gallery walls into an experience reminiscent of children’s pop-up books and adventure stories. In her works she particularly draws on references from the contemporary Japanese Kawaii culture.

Much of Matthew’s work celebrates the sensuality of the human form - figures often luxuriating, nude, against lush decorative backgounds or sometimes frozen, naked, into empty fields of muted colour.The textures of flesh are captured with the use of layers of delicate colour and the sensitive rendering of light. The paintings often seduce the viewer with a dream-like flow of imagery, a careful attention to detail and an intense use of colour. |
