New Artists

Rebecca Payne and Helena Revuelta join the gallery.

The innovative technique Sarah MacFarlane has developed to create her work is immediately striking. The ruched surface of her landscapes comes about through using layers of dried paint to build up dimensions, collage-like.

Brilliant graduates continue to arrive at the gallery, and it’s a joy to curate them.

This week’s emerging artists show fantastic sensitivity to the possibilities of their medium – applied in very different directions..

Delighted to introduce to you new artist Christina Kim-Symes. I came across Christina’s work earlier in the year at the Wimbledon School of Art degree show and have just managed to secure her work at New Blood Art. Christina’s work stood out at the degree show with a quiet confidence –  these small canvases with […]

My constructed objects refer to paintings in a broader sense. I am interested in pushing the limits as to how far my objects can still be considered paintings. There is a punk attitude underlying my work. One important aim is the continuous search for a consistent aesthetic linking all work, and materialising the philosophical thought […]

Representing icons from the golden age of Hollywood, Jody Little reflects on the prevailing mysticism surrounding figures who no longer have a physical presence but who continue to inspire meaning for so many. In this way, there is a dichotomy in his work between absence and presence. Similarly, Little often paints images of his ancestors, […]

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 […]

Selected for 2018 RSA New Contemporaries, David Rae is part of a growing interest in the possibility of unspoken narratives through the use of realism and subtraction. Rae’s paintings offer a remarkable sense of space through the realistic rendition of textures and perspective and behind this curtain of reality the figureless, empty spaces suggest an […]

Anna Mickevica has the rare talent of being able to capture realism through expressive mark-making. Her work gives only enough detail to the forms, allowing the viewer to complete the intricacies of her subject-matter, be it figurative or scenic. Mickevica’s figurative work is largely gestural, with a visceral and vulnerable quality to the rolled flesh […]
