Jagged patterns, dragging brush strokes, and sheets of colour, intertwine and vibrate against each other in the abstract landscape paintings of Jasmine Mills. Her paintings, each radiating energetic use of colour, are based on landscapes both imagined and remembered. Expressive mark-making give the impression of structure whilst retaining the organic flow of unrestrained paint. As […]

Not unlike early cubism, David McConochie experiments with form through dramatic fragmentation –  his images of landscapes are arranged into grid-like, geometric structures, created through collage. McConochie’s technique involves painting, or drawing, a landscape and subsequently cutting it up and rearranging it into a new composition. The resulting imagery plays with the traditional representation of […]

Indeed, Brown’s work involves a performative reflection on the creative process. Often using found objects from his own, and other artists’ studios, he explores the artistic […]
