New Artist: Sophie Berger

Sophie’s recent work has been greatly influenced by her move to Devon and a new-found love of the Dartmoor. She often sketches on the north moors and in Skaigh woods, taking in the mood of the sky, rolling hills and streams or concentrating on the intricate twisted branches and roots of the bracken. Her next […]

New Artist: Zolt Dudás

The use of archaic Christian iconography in the shadow of our present day’s existentialist questions is one of the central elements of my work. The religious, historical and cultural references not only act as a frame in my drawings and paintings, but also as a tool to ‘measure’ the different times, events to connect and […]

New Artist: Jessica Copping

My practice articulates a post-apocalyptic worldview, that combines humanities fading presence with elements from nature to question how long man will live in respect to deep time and to comment on the culpability of our actions against the environment for humans now and humans to come..

New Artist: Jude Mackay

Mackay’s paintings depict domestic interior spaces, usually seen from a low viewpoint as if we are seeing the room as small children. The compositions are usually simple, with careful attention to detail, such as the pattern on a piece of lace or the effect of light on a tiled floor. Despite their mundane subject matter […]

New Artist: Blandine Bardeau

“From entangled concoctions, rise beings from another world. They swim in a joyful accumulation of form and colour. My pieces reconcile the man-made plastic paraphernalia with their organic counterparts, a world where jellyfish has morphed with plastic jewellery, where composted peppers grow neon pink wool yarns and where flower petals grow out of shower puffs. […]

New Artist: Pauline Zenk

“I am a modern artist working with the old technique of figurative painting. The play between concealing and showing is inherent in the painting technique. Through my choice of subject and motifs I try to highlight this. In my watercolours I play with stress, composition and space. By using the motives and the technique I […]

New Artist: Zoe Hoare

Resisting categorization, themes of duality and illusion intertwine in the sculptural picture plane of Zoë Hoare’s work. Using cut paper to make sculptural assemblages, Hoare frames the pieces with a veil-like plastic screen. The screen defuses the sculpture beneath and forces it to become two-dimensional. The restrictive palette and seemingly unassuming craftsmanship instead emphases the […]

New Artist: Diane Rogan

Diane Rogan’s painting reflects the hidden space in municipal places which she calls ‘Wild Space.’ Wild Space is a philosophical title, embedding ideas between the broad relationships between urban areas, community and – by extension – the concept of belonging. Social politics and psychological states are played out through the language of architecture; broken lines […]

New Artist: Ash Kitchen

The paintings of Ash Kitchen are abundant in delicacy yet purposefully alluring. Although sharing the same neutral, understated palette and fluid brushstrokes indicative of Michaël Borremans the paintings enact an entirely different focus somewhat more aligned to the pop artists of the 1950s. Indeed, Kitchen is interested in drawing parallels between the world of fine […]

New Artist: Joan Stack

I am interested in action words. I write several sheets of notes on different topics – sometimes I forget where they are. I identify as a painter although my practice has diversified into sculptural installation with desires to make small video works. I am interested in combinations and formal qualities of different materials, things which […]
