Tree, Line. By Zander Olsen

“This is an ongoing series of constructed photographs rooted in the forest. These works, carried out in Surrey, Hampshire and Wales,involve site specific interventions in the landscape, ‘wrapping’ trees with white material to construct a visual relationship between tree, not-tree and the line of horizon according to the camera’s viewpoint.”

Mandy Shadforth

gav — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 16:00:21 +0000

“Mandy Shadforth is an Australian Contemporary Artist based on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. With an earlier background in Sign Writing her work displays explicit control and depth which she uses to create her super realistic figurative and subjective pieces. Mandy paints in a super realistic style to get closer to her subject matter. Through painting in this style she is able to draw in the viewer ininitimately to her images sharing with them the detailed beauty that would normally be overlooked. Her flawless figurative oil paintings are often mistaken as being airbrushed as her attention to detail is a signature feature of Mandy’s work. Her subject matter often references images from pop culture combining her interest in fashion, art and the mysterious. However the underlying essence of Mandy’s concepts revolve around her love of nature, beauty, travel and culture.”

“In an increasingly digital world, painting perseveres as a low-tech but engaging art form. Through colour, scale and gesture, my most recent work celebrates painting’s physicality, both in terms of its application and its dependence on space in the real world. The images are bright and playful, but also macabre and grotesque. Form and space lack clear boundaries. The images rest between creation and destruction. They convey a kind of mortality, a symptom of the organic and non-digital.”

-Nick Lepard, September 2011

Jan Gunneweg

gav — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 10:22:02 +0000

“Jan Gunneweg stands out as an industrial designer not only with his unique and daring designs, but also because of his technical skill. The combination makes his creations stylish and special but also – and this is equally important – very practical and exceptionally user-friendly.

His traditional background and love for wood leave their mark on all his creations. You might expect wood to result in cumbersome and unwieldy designs.

But nothing could be less true. Jan Gunneweg’s creations are elegant and designed with style.”

Nick Walker

gav — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 14:45:04 +0000

“In 1992 I began to combine stencils with my freehand work, which allowed me to juxtapose almost photographic imagery with the rawness which evolved from conventional graffiti styles. Stencils introduce an impact element to my work. The appeal of stencils is that they allow me to take an image from anywhere – dissect any part of life – and recreate it on any surface.

I try to add an element of humour or irony to some paintings to add a little light relief to the walls. Painting is a form of escapism for me and if my work allows the spectator to do the same thing, then I’ve achieved more than I set out to do.”

Nick Walker is one of the world’s best known street artists. Born in 1969, he emerged from the infamous and ground-breaking Bristol graffiti scene of the early 1980s.
