Gilvan-Cartwright’s work is dictated by a fascination for fantasy and “dreamworlds” as much as for the act of painting itself; to engage in “the imagination and the dynamic properties of a painted reality”. Reminiscent of Fragonard, the German Romantics and Victorian fairy paintings, his work is both rigorous and playful.
He studied at Central St. Martins, Brighton University and Crakow in Poland. He won the ROSL Travel Bursary 1997. He has had four solo shows at the East West Gallery Notting Hill; was shortlisted for John Moores Art Prize twice; and exhibited at the Jerwood Drawing Prize 2004. The Times, Independent, Telegraph and BBC Radio 4 Itchy Feet, have featured his work. |

He works on paper and on canvas.
He expresses the fauna, in particular pigs and birds in different ways, sometimes as friends but sometimes as monsters. He is fascinated from the underneath world.

Working directly from the subject "en plein air". I work mostly in oil on canvas and board, and prefer to be working outdoors. My aim recently has been to try and simply paint what I see with little distortion. My aim is to focus more on the subject than on my personal drama. |

Her reinterpretation of Jackson Pollocks poured paintings is essentially formalist--focusing on the swirling, interlacing arabesques of paint in his classic poured works of 1947 and 1950 and the way those webs of color so determinedly atop their canvas support--but inflected, perhaps, by '70s-derived notions of pattern as a specifically feminine approach to form.

Over the last 8 year, I have been focusing mainly on projects relating to specific buildings such as the Tate Modern or the Bonn Art Museum. I have become increasingly interested in what I would describe as 'architecture as a social space'. Due to the nature of the subject, I find it not necessarily easy to convey what I want to say and I have started to work with video alongside still photography. I also have begun to use sound, sometimes to enhance a sense of space, other times to voice individual perspectives. |

Copyright is a skilled stencillist that likes pink roses and forgiving angels. He has realized one of the most longevous stencils of Redchurch Street and that in my opinion shows the goodness and beauty of his art. |

A search for escape characterizes Valdes’s detailed and luscious oil paintings. Whilst navigating the disquiet of London’s urban chaos, she makes sudden and surprising slippages into patches of solitude- lakes, ponds, and quiet tucked away living spaces; which she photographs and uses as source material. In her paintings, landscapes and interiors form a zone between concrete urban centers and vast expanses of rural quietness, and they range from being photo-realistic images to newsprint-collages. Mood and impressionistic brushwork evoke an emotional engagement with light and weather; and recall and emblazon the countryside. |

Cristina Marignoli’s work is constructed layer upon layer, as there are different levels of consciousness, and rests on a dynamic balance between the passage of time and a sense of immediacy and now-ness... the eternal present. The structures are spaces of the mind, labyrinths where a sense of anxiety prevents one from reaching the centre, where the body has become a stranger, they are also gates through which we can enter into parallel worlds which elude and yet define our conscious thoughts.
A painting by its very nature is a physical object occupying a certain space but also it is a psychological and spiritual entity. |

Cyclops look at the world with one eye, we all know that.
Cyclops the artist has in fact two eyes or even more. He doesn’t like one dimension only and you can see what I’m talking about if you look at his work. |

Dan McDermott paints dynamic photo-realist canvases. His work is original and expertly executed. Always emphasizing the choice of subject matter, his work may depict a New York street scene, a speeding car, the exterior of a San Francisco tenement block or a distant urban landscape.
McDermott derives his material from film or television or from his own cine-film. The process is a layered technique that enthusiastically embraces technological visual media. By progressing through various generations of production, McDermott arrives at his rich representations typified by heightened colour and tone. |

Dan Westlake is a London based artist, educated at Chelsea College of Art & Design (London) and Cooper Union: School of Art (NYC). His interventions and installations employ a variety of media and techniques, including text, sound, printed ephemera and oral communication. These works explore the dichotomy between a theological position of metaphysical nihilism and a theoretical position viewing creative practice as, in essence, a process of ego-centric affirmation. |

My work is composed of layers of resin, enamel and glass paint framed in steel. Each work is a snapshot of an evolving abstract terrain where a collection of organic forms and sinews interact with delicate tension. Textures and configurations can evoke a variety of natural associations. When opaque and clear resin intertwine it can be reminiscent of celestial topographies or aerial imagery. Areas of intense detail produced over several layers with glass paint and enamel can recall sulphur and other mineral deposits as well as coastal erosions. The works are undoubtedly inspired by colours and forms found in nature; from sunsets to desert formations. |

My work is in part, about scrutinising every day objects that we take for granted. By creating detailed pencil drawings of everyday things like a single dead fly, or a detail of a paving slab that we walk on every day or the ripples of a puddle, I want to draw people`s attention to the interest and beauty of the places and objects we tend to overlook. |
