contemporary fine art prints

Rich is interested in creating new relationships between existing retrieved visual elements. These are applied to the canvas in the form of painting and collage. The works can be said to contain cultural echoes in that they are clearly descended from popular cultural references.

He is currently in the process of creating a new body of work in which he is setting the familiar layered components in layers of resin.

Rich did a Foundation in Croydon College in 2003. There, he gained a distinction. He went on to do a Fine Art Painting Degree at Winchester School of Art which he finished in 2006.

Mark's work is a search for ideas to develop, evolve and play with. He distorts perspective, perception and reality to dramatic and psychologically challenging effect.

Five years ago Mark started automatic drawing. He was inspired to do an Art Foundation at Croydon College where he discovered the third dimension. This led to a sculpture degree at Winchester School of Art where he graduated with a first in 2006. Alongside sculpture Mark has become equally talented at computer-generated art.

His main influences are Anish Kapoor and Cornelia Parker

Mat's practice attempts to communicate a space between what is intellectually understood to that which can be physically and visually experienced. Responding to the material and working from memory my paintings exist to explore the psychological nature of substance, both internally and externally.

Angelo started focusing his talent when he did a Foundation in Art and Design at Bedford College, where he won the "Outstanding Student" award in his year.

He did a Fine Art Painting Degree at Winchester School of Art. During this time he also went on an exchange to BRNO in the Czech Republic.

Angelo has two distinct styles, his closely observed sketches and life drawings and works that explore imaginary ideas from dreams and the unconscious. In this line he has experimented with video art and has also created a memorable balloon installation. His main influences are Giacometti, Freud and the Czech Surrealists

Ronnie Winchester is a painter based in the south of England who is working under a pseudonym. His paintings site fictitious contemporary characters in non-places. These locations are never quite realistic yet always derived from real cultural inspirations.

Vidya can’t be pinned down to working in a single way although painting has always been a major part of her practice. Responding to materials is an important part of the process and this often leads to unexpected outcomes. Several themes are pursued at any one time and include works reflecting an interest in nature, which can be traced back to Vidya’s original training as an Ecologist. She originally graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Ecology in 1985 and then went back to full-time education to re-train as a Fine Artist, completing a Foundation at Portsmouth in 1990.

Exhibitions have included a group show at the Bankside Gallery in London (2007) and a number of solo exhibitions on the Isle of Wight, including at Quay Arts (2005).
