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. |

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. |
