Originally from the Netherlands, Karin Janssen is an artist and gallerist whose own work focuses partly on representations of femininity on western culture, and the clash between idealistic visions of the female, and the often more clumsy, more flawed reality of everyday life. |

The content of my work is concerned with the romantic futility of
depicting the invisible. How can the visualized un-visual be depicted with any clarity? I maintain a conceptual approach to painting that toys with
its limits as a medium. The painted imagery hovers just on the edge of
immateriality. Embracing the notion of certain failure, my work explores
ideas around the exhaustion of symbols, tropes of absence, invisibilit and concealment (...)"

KCM's paintings are explorations of the 'singular' image: the vision of an object or event that is so unusual or unexpected; so charged with affect or import, that it 'stands apart' -suspended outside of the normal sequence of time and the customary coordinates of understanding. These images stand apart even from their owners. Her paintings present us with isolated instants; stills or snapshots of life that have been cut adrift from their moorings in a particular, personal history. They are, therefore, both inexplicable but also strangely intimate, since they address the viewer as a familiar. They involve us in the profoundly uncanny act of recognising something that is apparently unknown. |

Fascinated by the ways time can reveal itself within spaces, Katherine Kicinski's paintings explore a mysterious territory: the continual shifting from presence to absence, the transformitive moment as future becomes past, where everything has a physical and sensory immediacy and yet seems always to allude our reasoning, close at hand yet hard to describe.
She lives and works in London and graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2005 and was selected for New Contemporaries 2006. Selected Exhibitions:
2007: Slippery Slope, Group Show, Emma Hill Eagle Gallery, London
2006: Shortlisted for 'John Moores 24', Walker Art, Liverpool

"I am interested in making images that reflect the history, layering and stratification of it's subject, whilst also acknowledging the uncertainties of memory. Engaging with the city for example, the image appears to be falling apart yet remains complete and vibrant. The paint application allows a history to build up which is then sometimes altered or even obliterated by subsequent additions. The work reflects the city as being a site of constant re-invention." |

Using photographic images, Birnie and Broughton explore the implications of contemporary media’s ability to distort reality and the subliminal power it executes over the memory and imagination of individuals and societies. The impact of televisual imagery and exaggerated disclosures of human events creates what they call ‘Contained Worlds’ characterized by visual information set apart from the ‘outside’ or the real world.
They live and work in London. Birnie studied at Exeter College; Broughton at Royal College of Art.
Selected exhibitions include:
2005 Black Bile, Three Colts, London. 2000-08 RCA Secret, RCA, London. 2002 Snapshot, Seven Seven, London. |

In Green’s paintings public spaces like national and international sporting arenas become unreal and mythical. Digitally manipulated photographs are used as source material along with a reductive graphic aesthetic characterized by flat areas of striking colours, to delineate the arenas in arrangements of planar surfaces. Bordering on fantasy, but eerily depopulated and dangerously gaudy, they critically engage with twentieth century notions of utopia specifically in relation to sports culture. She is based in London and studied at the Royal College of Art. Selected exhibitions include: 2006 Primetime Painting: Young Artists from London. 2005 Peculiar Encounters, ecArtspace, London; Rundlede |

Having recently graduated from Cardiff School of Art with a BA (hons) Fine Art Printmaking, Lauren's work is centred around image making through photocopying, collage, drawing, photography & video which inevitably finds resolutions in silk screen printmaking. Repetitive patterns and layering the scribbling images that form from the psycho-babble of the monkey mind! And also making moving image installation with buzzing electrics and TVs fuzzing away white noise!
Recent projects have included an interactive poetry wall in the public domain as part of a collaboration between friends. www.wallwithaview.co.uk |
