I often forgot to come home on time after becoming totally engrossed in a painting. Art College followed school and I spent a total of 5 years studying both fine art and graphic design. On leaving college, I entered the world of advertising. Many years working on commercial material did not erode my passion for fine art. I continued to produce pieces in my own time, experimenting with different medium and subject matter. I realised that in order to follow my dream I had to make an important decision. I chose to commit myself fully to my passion for fine art and became a full time artist in 2005, a decision I have never regretted.

I am fortunate enough in that the things I love to paint are right in front of my eyes everyday. The hairs on the back of my neck still stand on end every time I see an old ‘Gadgie’.
I love the movement of the street drunk; however he remains a difficult subject to paint – never staying still for any length of time. The real skill comes in trying to capture the just off centre stance of these vertically challenged individuals. The gossiping old ladies standing on street corners, the tired old guy wandering home after a long hard day at work and the wee dog cocking its leg against the street corner are all appealing and interesting to me. I see them all as different choreographed parts in a sort of street ballet.
One of my prize possessions is the oldest, ricketiest, battered bike complete with leather saddle and rusty springs. I bought the antique (I use the term loosely) at a second hand shop for the princely sum of £30.
It is a priceless prop that features in a great number of my paintings.

Andre Deymonaz |
|
|
Born in Casablanca in 1946, Andre spent much of his childhood travelling, his family eventually returning to France to settle in Provence.
His family were all artistic, enjoying painting and drawing, but for Andre painting was to become his passion. He grew up dreaming that one day he would be able to fulfil his greatest ambition, which was to become a professional artist.

Andrew Craig |
|
|
Most of the paintings I paint just happen with no pre planning. I do however like to catalogue my ideas so I can go back, should I wish, to use them as a source of reference. I find listening to music while I paint extremely inspiring. I then try to transfer what I'm feeling direct onto canvas. It's almost as if the music takes over and my mind goes into auto pilot.

Anna Razumovskaya |
|
|
Born at the height of the cold war, Anna was exposed to very different worlds, that of the austere communist regime alongside the sophistication and femininity of her fashion-conscious mother. She excelled at art school, and enjoyed the freedom of learning and perfecting her technique in a variety of different media.

Austin Moseley |

Austin was born in 1930 in Tiverdale, which in those days was part of South Staffordshire. After qualifying
as an engineer he took up a career as a lecturer based at the University of Wolverhampton. For many years therefore his artwork was forced into second place, but since his retirement he has been able to devote the majority of his time to doing what he loves and his atmospheric paintings have become highly sought-after.

Barbara Hammerman Brody is a contemporary colourist who has had a love affair with sunlight, skies and landscapes since the age of three.
Her language of images can be rich, playful, bold, magical and often evoke a spiritual quality. Her work is always alive with her sense of colour and spirit.

Barbara James |
|
|
Each picture begins with a sketch on canvas. Once I'm happy with the basic composition I begin mixing colours and developing the tones I'm going to use within the painting. I'm addicted to oils and like many painters build up the layers to achieve depth and luminosity of colour and texture. There are always three or four pictures on the go at once - I work very intensely with each painting and it's good to be able to break from one to another.

Beret Kruger-Johnsen |
|
|
I grew up in the Oslo region in Norway. We had ready access to the sea, forest and mountains and nature played a major part in my life. I did love drawing and after graduating with biology as my major, I got accepted into the only graphic design school at the time in Oslo. So, a suitable compromise had been made, drawing and design with a purpose and tangible outcome.
I have always had itchy feet and have never needed much of an excuse to go travelling. I fell head over heels with an Australian on one of my journeys and have lived in Australia, mostly in Melbourne, for the best part of 13 years now. With family still in Norway I try to head over as often as possible. I met a part of the Washington Green team on a side trip to Birmingham and I am slowly coming around to thinking of myself as an artist, sane or not!

I can honestly say I have spent most of my childhood days surrounded by horses. The horses my family owned were a very important starting point in my painting career, and I have spent many of my days since drawing them. I have observed their joys, affections and passions very closely.

Bob Barker |

|
Where I live it is impossible to walk a dozen yards from home without seeing old weavers' cottages, cotton and woollen mills, Yorkshire stone flags or cobbled streets that have been there for decades settling in and maturing, watching the landscape change around them.
Every day I get to see and paint this history and people get to share it with me through my paintings. How wonderful is that!!

Bruce Mckay |
|
|
Growing up in Toronto, I was always drawing. As a little kid, animals were my favourite subject. My parents were very encouraging, and when I was about ten years old they arranged for me to spend time with a wonderful artist named Ralph Abrams. He was a painter, sculptor and animator who was passionate about experimenting with ‘the new’. I would occupy long Saturday afternoons sketching madly at the museum, or sculpting at his studio. Sometimes Ralph and I would just hang out with all the other artists in the building and they would show me how they created their art. Even then, I knew that I was going to make art my career – no, it would be my life.

Carol Gillan |
|
|
Carol travels to County fairs for inspiration and often accosts dog walkers when she sees a dog that she would like to paint. Due to the nature of her work (or rather the nature of her sitters) she tends to make extensive use of photographs that she feels best capture the individual identity of the animal in question. These allow her to achieve an informal, composed painting which is both a realistic likeness and a uniquely distinctive interpretation.

Chris & Steve Rocks |
|
|
Chris and Steve Rocks represent a unique phenomenon in the world of fine art. Twin brothers who were born only seven minutes apart, they have created an extraordinary artistic partnership, due to a closeness and understanding that is beyond the imagination of most of us. They have worked
together throughout their lives, and each of their striking oils on canvas is a true collaboration both in terms of technique and approach - a united response from both artists.

Chris Parsons |
|
|
In 1998 I decided to start my own business at St.Nicholas market, Bristol. As well as displaying my landscapes I was commissioned for portraits, graphic design and sign writing. Whilst having some success with my business venture I had an inclination I was in the wrong surroundings for my paintings to be appreciated. With this in mind I approached an established art gallery in the centre of town. My work was accepted and I was delighted when they began to sell. The owner of the gallery showed them to an art agent who purchased several of my paintings to be sold in galleries around the country.

The cityscapes of Csilla Orban occupy a unique position on the current art market. Although they depict specific and often recognisable locations, their particular brilliance lies in the creation of atmosphere rather than the accuracy of detail.

Cyril Croucher |
|
|
Throughout my life I have been profoundly impressed by many artists, and living where I do I am surrounded by creativity which in itself is inspirational. I often look to the past and to certain artists whose pictures contain a strong narrative sense such as Breughel, Bosch and also the members of the Pre - Raphaelite Movement. As for contemporary painters I greatly admire the work of Lucien Freud, and often feel tempted to change my subject matter and paint some portraits, clothed or unclothed, just for my own amusement. Watch this space! I am also fascinated by gothic architecture and medieval history - two interests which I believe have more than a passing relevance to my paintings.

Danielle's style is loose and impressionistic, however she has always believed in the importance of each and every brush stroke. In order to gain a greater understanding and technical skill she studied sumi-e, Japanese brushpainting. Her distinctive fusion of eastern and western artistry has led to her works being highly prized by art collectors from both sides of the Pacific.

David Farren |
|
|
David uses expressive brushwork and colour to represent the energy and movement of the urban landscape, providing a snapshot of everyday life. His aim is to capture the ambience and individuality of some of the world's most exciting cities in Europe and the USA. He produces his high-impact images in acrylic and oils, enjoying the immediacy and versatility of both mediums which he finds particularly well-suited to his direct style of painting. He is fascinated by the changing seasons and how the varied light affects a scene, and his distinctive use of colour is an essential part of reflecting this.

David has been a professional artist in various guises for over 25 years. Originally working as an illustrator, he built up an impressive reputation as a versatile and talented artist and worked in a variety of fields as a visualiser in advertising, a scenic painter in the leisure industry and also as a muralist, pasticheur and copyist. His formidable output covered an immense range of subject matter and absorbed many influences, from the Flemish masters to contemporary media imagery.

Dean Kendrick |
|
|
I have painted in many different styles over the years and have found that sometimes less is more. If the eye sees an image that is so complete, and full of detail, the viewers mind can be uninterested, because it understands completely what it sees. I want the person who is looking at my painting, for just a few moments in time to be completely lost in the beauty of it.

Debra Stroud |
|
|
Debra's contemporary style of painting has collectors from all over the world, buying her paintings. She likes to paint in peace and to focus, and for that i need quietness.
she works in both watercolour and oil - each is very different and which medium she uses depends on her mood, but it is the sea which draws her back each time.

Derrick Fielding |
|
|
My work has been likened to the American artist Eyvind Earle - like him, I am fascinated by the shapes of shadows, particularly in the twilight of the day when they become elongated and stretch the view into the distance. This is why the cropping of my finished painting is important to me too. If I can somehow draw the viewer in, it will leave them wondering what lies just outside the view of the painting.

Dion Salvador Lloyd |
|
|
Dion paints skyscapes which are, by turns, warm and engaging, mean and foreboding. They betray his admiration for the likes of Turner and Dali. But he is truly in his element when surrounded by nature, which is evident from his paintings that reflect his fascination with the sky. They are not demanding or abrasive in any way, but instead have a feeling of infinity about them. His approach is more suggestive than descriptive, allowing the viewer to bring their own interpretation to each piece.
He is inspired by almost everything around him; living by the sea, film, music, books, exhibitions – the list could go on forever, but if one were to put it in the most general terms Dion is inspired by life, nature and the human condition. Specifically the artists he cites as inspirations are Tom Keating, Turner, Rothko and Rembrandt.
When you ask Lloyd what his intentions are with his work his answer is “I want to make work that people can fall into.” He believes that his purpose in life is to leave something behind; something that is good and beautiful. He works in an innocent, untrained and blatantly honest way with his final works being refreshingly simple, straight forward and breathtakingly beautiful. His own celebration of the beauty around us serves to remind us all to look up and beyond ourselves.

Drew Darcy |
|
|
Born in Shrewsbury in 1976 I am the eldest of twin boys. Being the son of a doctor and a nurse, I always felt in safe hands right from the start. My artistic flare may well have been passed down from my mother's side. She was one of a family of ten children. Music and art was a central part of growing up in Dublin. My grandfather was from five generations of tailors and trained in Saville Row to become a bespoke tailor. He had three shops in Ireland, one of which was in historical Kilmainham, Dublin. On my father’s side, my grandfather was an industrial designer and skilled draughtsman. Thus the fabric of the artist was woven!

Duncan Macgregor |
|
|
Taking his inspiration from the surrounding landscape and of course the sea, Duncan is particularly fascinated by the effects of natural light on colour. His distinctive palette conveys the cool yet vibrant shades of sea and sky as they appear in the brilliant light of the sun. Verging on the abstract, his work is characterised by the dense application of richly textured acrylics, which create a sense of spontaneity and unstoppable energy.

Monkton's work has already been widely reproduced on greetings cards and in books on both sides of the Atlantic. The medium of large fine art silkscreens, though, with their refined materials and bespoke finishes, has given him even more creative freedom.

Emilija Pasagic |
|
|
My inspiration comes from the intensity and drama of emotional interaction between people - either involving myself or those around me; the emotions of faith, hope and love are what give me my unstoppable desire to paint. I do not have to think about what subject to choose; I feel that the images arise from the dance of life which I try to capture in the natural elements that are a feature of my work. painting brings me great joy, which is another aspect that I hope keeps my work fresh and exciting.

Frank Jensen |
|
|
Initial inspiration has changed a lot for me due to the fact that my paintings in the beginning were figurative. I now consider myself to be an abstract painter, inspired by the outer tangible world. The observation of the world that surrounds me, thoughts, reflections, analysis,, concentration and imagination all nurture my inspiration. I now base my work on expression through abstraction, telling stories, transmitting feelings or simply trying to create sensations in the spectator. I only want to paint what’s essential.
My goal is creating reflective and honest work permitting chance, a work that doesn’t want to be dramatic with big flourish blurs of thick paint, and glutinous shiny drips. I may find inspiration in a fragment of a wall, a combination of forms, a space, colours, a symbol, the light, people, a political or social fact, a poem or a simple thought that returns to my mind.

Ge Feng |
|
|
I moved from London to the country about ten years ago and I live and work in an old farmhouse, where I have built a shed for spray-painting. I love its rough, rustic character. It's a great place for messy jobs, and gives me the freedom to explore.
I work very intensely, and when I am painting I often work far into the night to finish a piece. Then I like to put the finished piece in my studio and keep looking at it from time to time to see if I want to make any changes.
To relax, I like to sip Chinese green tea, play table tennis or just go for a walk in the beautiful Wye Valley near my home.

Gloria Marojevic |
|
|
Essentially I am inspired by the creativity in me, both the need and desire to fulfil myself creatively makes me who I am.
A great source of my inspiration lies in the different shades of light on the landscapes and I am drawn to the sea again and again. The light, colours and shapes in the sky totally absorb me. The element of movement in these images never fails to make a powerful impression on me and greatly inspires me to translate this movement into my paintings.

Graham McKean |
|
|
Although his stunning figurative images originate in Graham's fertile imagination and represent "everyman" and "everywoman", his subject matter is inspired by incidents in his own life. He uses humour and sentiment where appropriate to persuade us that each individual painting is part of a bigger picture - the picture of life.

Grant Searl |
|
|
In spite of his technical expertise and strong grasp of form and colour, Grant is largely a self taught artist. His inventive and distinctive oil paintings and acrylics on canvas owe a stylistic debt to Magritte, Dali and a range of other surrealist artists whom he admires. As well as the sheer aesthetic attraction, what appeals to him is the element of subversion which is present in their work. He is also fascinated by the quirkier side of Victoriana; the idea of a folly, for example – a seemingly functional building - which is actually produced for no apparent purpose other than its own aesthetic worth.

I come from a theatrical background. I'm half Irish and my childhood home was a place where extraordinary things happened. It was an environment where my brothers and I seemed bound to do something unusual. I'm very grateful for that.
Drawing was the original expression. I would draw an awful lot, trying to emulate other artists, to understand how they created what they did; but sketching it was and remained to be, until I found the mettle to use colour.

In the last nine years interest in, and desire for his work, has grown rapidly. There have been sell-out solo exhibitions in Edinburgh, London, Hong Kong and Johannesburg. In November 1999, Vettriano’s work was shown for the first time in New York, when twenty paintings were displayed at The International 20th Century Arts Fair at The Armory. Fifty collectors from the UK flew out for the opening night of the Fair and all twenty paintings were sold out within an hour of the opening

James was born in Manchester in 1966 into an artistic family. At school he was considered outstanding and from a very young age he was actually taken out of lessons to paint. He received commissions from staff and parents and as a teenager he was runner up in a major art competition. So in the matter of a career choice he says quite simply, "there was no choice!"

Jeff Rowland |
|
|
I have always been fascinated in two areas of art; the implicit meaning and the inspiration. I was inspired to paint a rain soaked street through films I saw at the cinema. I watched The Bridges of Madison County, a film about an accidental relationship between a man and woman. The film is always shot in beautiful sunshine, until the end, when the relationship has to end and the rain really falls, giving an implicit meaning that the relationship is being washed away. The Road to Perdition is another example. At the end of the film, relationships are ending, implied by the use of falling rain.

I’m very lucky that I take most of my inspiration from people, as we’re surrounded by them! I love the vast scope in the human character, there are so many different kinds I could never be bored. I might be taken by a particular look, or a slight stance or movement that will make me pick up a pencil and document it. Relationships and emotion is also something that inspires me - much of my work always has a story behind it.

John Wilson |
|
|
My first recollection of having an interest in art was at the age of 10 when I entered into a school Easter Card Competition and won first prize. This inspired me to carry on drawing, particularly incorporating my main interest at that time of aircraft and cars. Things changed when I was 12 – for Christmas I was given a set of oil paints and an easel (the easel I still use today 40 years later!). Painting in oil opened up a whole new world of colour and texture, as well as filling the house with the wonderful scent of linseed and turpentine.

Josephine Baker |
|
|
My images at the moment are very simple and obvious, from a distance, but I find myself drawn to some parts upon closer inspection. An aggressive thumb print or a trailing smudge mark where perhaps a song I’m listening to has had an uplifting effect on me, or I was thinking about a little moment, these things affect the way a smudge finishes and they become almost mini works of art within the work of art!

My Father told me, never draw a straight line and never draw a whole line, always break them up when you sketch, and change the weight applied to the pencil to make your marks interesting. What great advice this was! I still sketch this way today, as it is very important to be able to sketch with ease.

All my work is based on the places I have visited over the last few years. I'm fascinated by the hustle and bustle of city night streets. The sounds, the smells, the lights and in particular the reflections they create. My aim is to produce work that evokes these feelings within the viewer, almost allowing them to step into these scenes, experiencing the lights, sounds and movement.

|
Lorenzo has managed to absorb and combine all his diverse talents, thus enabling him to develop his own unique artistic style. His work reflects the clear, true vision of an artist who has matured far beyond his years in a stimulating, intellectual environment. It has been said many times that life imitates art; the achievements of Lorenzo Quinn certainly lend credence to this belief.

The glass panels are made by painstakingly hand stenciling the several different layers of colour between a sandwich of two layers of glass. It is then fired in a kiln at over 1000 degrees farenheight, to form a single piece of glass. The image is then 'inside' the glass. The colours are created from special glazes I have developed myself (similar concept to pottery glazes) by combining various glass and metal compounds together to create a particular colour. It has taken years of experimentation and experience to produce the colour palette.

Louise Braithwaite |

I could cite a variety of creative influences; the ones that are the most apparent in my work are of course L. S. Lowry, (I was once told that my paintings are “happy Lowry’s” which delighted me!) and the slightly less well-known paintings of Noel Coward. In my travels around South America I also found the bright colours and enchanting gabbeh designs a tremendous source of inspiration.

Lynn Poland |
|
|
I am particularly drawn to areas of flat open countryside or shorelines. The simplicity of ribbons of land and sky, divided by hedges and roads that appear as visual scars across the landscape, provide the structure for my paintings. I live on the Cheshire Plain and my long narrow paintings are inspired by the flatness of the local landscape.
In this type of environment it is natural to scan the horizon, as there are few vertical shapes to interrupt the view. The panoramic nature of the paintings is an attempt to emulate this sensation.
I walk everyday and the way in which the views change is a constant source of fascination to me. The hues of the sky and land fluctuate according to time and season. The effects of weather and light provide both harmony and contrast of colour. The land often appears to be reflected in the sky and conversely a strong sky can tint the earth. The bands of sky, earth and sea can be clearly delineated or the layers can merge and diffuse into each other.

My first introduction to clay came at the age of 7, in Mr Smart's art class. For my first piece I made a swan. I absolutely loved working in this medium; there was, and still is for me, a touch of magic in this process; where the cold, grey, malleable clay turns into a hard ceramic, that can last a thousand years. Due to the specialist nature of working with clay (requiring a kiln), after school I only came into contact with this medium at evening classes. I didn't know any artists and never dreamed back then that earning a living producing art would have been possible for me.

The last few years have seen me working independently as an artist after finally taking the plunge to 'go it alone.' With determination, hard work and a bit of luck I aim to move my art onto a whole new level personally.
Ask any creative person and they will tell you that inspiration is everywhere. The skill is being able to filter out the juicy bits! Without a doubt I am attracted to interesting shapes and shadows, light and contrast. I am a huge fan of comic book artists and the way that they create huge fantasy cities and structures that consume the comic book pages.

I am always striving to do better, each picture being the greatest work of my lifetime, that is, until I start the next - and so it goes on. Should I ever get to the point of total satisfaction, I think I'd better make that painting my last and put my brushes and easel away for good.
I am very fortunate to enjoy my work so much.

Michael Vaughan OBE – the most successful captain in the history of English cricket – has put his batting skills to canvas and combined his two great passions in life, cricket and art, to create ‘Artballing’ – an innovative, unusual and exciting form of modern abstract art.
Using his favoured cover drives, square cuts and pull shots Michael expertly hits a paint-covered ball at a blank canvas to create dramatic abstract pieces that can best be described as a riotous mixture of Jackson Pollock meets Damien Hirst.

I am inspired really by my family, and the way my wife and I were when we were teenagers. We were a pair of romantics and always endeavoured to keep our relationship fun! I try to depict this in my little character. In most relationships there are sad times as well as happy times; this will show in my character as my work develops.
I was greatly inspired by LS Lowry, influenced mainly because he was a friend of my Grandfather. My ideas come mainly when I am out driving, and thinking about quirky little images to paint. I wish I could say that they come easily, but they don’t! It really is hard work, in fact that is probably harder than putting the painting together.
I tend to draw hundreds of little sketches when I get an idea in my head, and then try to develop two or three of the best sketches.

In July '05 I entered the New Artists competition at the NEC in Birmingham and won after which I took a publishing deal with Washington Green......so here I am.
I am a keen observer of everyday life so my ideas are created from images I see all around. I also dig deep into thoughts, feelings and emotions that I may be experiencing at the time. I feel that people are very similar in many ways, so expressing my feelings can often strike a chord with those who relate to the situations that I put my characters in.

I am a very visual person and my ideas tend to come from what I see around me. In everyday life - flicking through papers, watching TV, walking around town - images, compositions and colours can trigger chain reactions, sparking ideas for future paintings. I am always finding torn out references from magazines or scraps of paper with notes and sketches made in moments of excitement and inspiration days or weeks ago, that serve as starting points for new work.

Nick Potter |

I was born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire (of ''crooked spire'' fame) in 1959 and have been told I could always draw. When I was young, I was lent a beautifully illustrated edition of ''The Jungle Book'' by a neighbour. For months I religiously copied the exquisite pen and ink drawings of animals which adorned its pages. I made a portfolio from card and wrote ''NICK POTTER, ARTIST. KEEP OUT ''on the front. It seems all I have ever wanted to be was an artist.
I sold a lot of paintings and hundreds of cards in the gallery. Selling work to strangers in your own gallery is a real thrill. At this time I began to paint in acrylics on canvas with some success. Natasha ran the gallery. We made a lot of artist friends, held previews and exhibitions and attended events such as The Manchester Art Show. My eldest son Tom and daughter Alice helped us in the business. The success of my work in the gallery encouraged me to approach other galleries. I recently had work in 16 galleries from Scotland to Cornwall. Selling work in other galleries gave me a lot of confidence, as did the constant support of family and friends.

Many of my paintings will come from an emotion that i am experiencing at the time - be it euphoria, sadness or anger.
Colours too provide me with ideas - from the true vibrant contrasting colours of traffic lights to the blue hues of a cornflower or multi-coloured sky.

I have found my work changing and growing with every painting. I also find a new excitement and eagerness in my approach to my work, and have found this personal work much more rewarding. So many interests and artists inspire my work. I try to take inspiration from everywhere: people, lifestyle, fashion, music, sport, and so on. I have had a huge admiration and influence from such painters as Modigliani, Matisse, and Picasso, as well as numerous other painters and illustrators. Style, colour, pattern, and texture also play an important part in my work. My main interest is in people, emotion, and lifestyle

|
I was born in Bournemouth, Dorset on the 25th March 1970 and have lived within10 miles of my birthplace all my life. I can’t remember exactly when it was, but I know I was very young when I first started learning to draw. Detail was always my thing; if my drawing didn’t look like the object or scene I was looking at then I would find it a most infuriating experience. In my recent work I have finally escaped those shackles and it’s been a very enjoyable and liberating experience; it’s only now I finally feel like the artist I’d always wanted to become. The journey here has been an up and down one and at times a real struggle.

Formal art training for me has always been sporadic and somewhat varied. Having been offered a place at art college I chose instead to do a degree in History and Education finding time for my art through subsidiary courses whilst a student. When I began to paint professionally I chose to attend classes with academician Fred Cuming in order to develop my own particular strengths relating to use of colour, draughtsmanship, and the ability to create atmosphere within a painting. These elements, central to my work, have remained constant.

I use my photographs and rough sketches to rekindle emotions and feelings of a particular scene; sometimes I even scribble odd words or phrases down to help this process. I like to paint my canvases flat and have them a couple of feet from the floor so I don't have to bend over too far. I feel quite energized by the blank canvas; it's a mixture of excitement and anticipation - similar to the feeling you get when you 'take off' on a blank canvas of a wave.

My mother & father, brother & sister all have/had varying talents in artistry. But I am sure that my roots in art come straight from my Grandfather. He was an excellent artist, who even managed to paint arab silk traders, trading from the backs of camels during the war when he was posted in Eygpt. I have been told that he owned all manner of art equipment, but sadly, the war stole my grandfather then the passing of time stole his art equipment, so unfortunately I didn't get to meet either of them!

Rebecca Lardner |
|
|
Influenced by Cornish artist Alfred Wallis, Rebecca’s distinctive oils on canvas are beautifully depicted portrayals of life on the land and the sea. The large ensemble cast of figures, boats and sea birds creates an impression of ceaseless activity, and this is heightened by the natural curves of the classic English harbour which provide movement and energy. Her palette is based strongly on the colours of the sea, with blues, greens and greys dominating the entire canvas.

One of my earliest memories of being an artist is when I was 6 years old painting with poster paints at the kitchen table while the family were fixed in front of the TV. Using stolen architectural (just finished) drawings of my Dads I would be filling in all the rooms in colour and drawing people stood next to the buildings. I’ve never seen my Dad so upset and angry, but he is now my biggest fan.

I am entirely motivated by colour, and as a realist painter, along with being a big kid at heart, this inevitably lead to the subject matter of toys and sweets. It allows me to explore extremely vivid colour, and at the same time manipulate the structure and form of an image. Having trawled sweetshops, markets, eBay, and my mum's attic, to find my subject.

Not necessarily making any comparisons, but being reminded of the nostalgic years and how their life today differs in these modern times, yet in many ways mirrors my own childhood.

Sergio Mooro |

I believe that art forms are a fascination with life, and our supreme fascination is with ourselves.
What continuously intrigue’s me are the enigmas of our own nature. The human form, energy and spirit are endless inspiration for me. Sometimes you have an image in your head left over from a dream or a passing glimpse; these have the ability to serve as a starting point for a painting. I try to neutralise the figures and remove them from a particular time period, to make them more mythic and timeless. So very often I find my shapes in practice, not in the process of rigid preparation. The shapes are recognisable with hints of body parts, but they remind us that we can go so much further….if we desire.
Around us there is a delicate balance that I try to capture between the play of the abstract forms and interconnection of human bodies. It is through the medium of the human body that I am trying to express myself, seeking the precise balance between aestheticism and emotion. Fashion suggests that you should be moved by certain things and not by others. This is the reason that even successful artists have no idea whether their work is really any good or not, and they will never have any way of really knowing.

Working in mixed media with watercolours, gouache, pastels and even gold leaf, Simon's work - with its asymmetrical dynamism - has a jewel-like exuding warmth and power.
Simon says his works best from direst observation. "When out painting I keep my eyes open for likely subjects, interesting viewpoints and subtle combinations of colour and texture. Before starting a piece I have to see something that excites me.

Simon Claridge |

If you were to ask most men to describe their perfect day, I'm sure gazing at beautiful women would take up a fair part of it, only I'm allowed to call it work! The human form is such a fantastic thing to paint; the eye never tires of seeing what it is programmed to respond to on such a guttural level. Exploring the human form provides me a rich seem of inspiration both on a formal visual plain and perhaps more importantly on an innate, visceral level.

Simon Kenevan |
|

As time passed Simon began to translate some of this experience into artistic compositions, and discovered an amazingly rich talent. In 2003 he settled in the USA and a whole new world opened up for him. Here he encountered a school of painters, the "Sublime" movement, that was to have an immense influence on his artistic path. These pioneering 19th century artists were attracted by the scenic breadth of the diverse continent of North America. As Simon says, "I know that I experience the landscape with the same spiritual intensity as these artists did, and like them, I aim to inject that divine inspiration into every piece of work I produce."

Many things can be inspirational; like simplistic day to day shapes that can be transferred into something else, or dramatic light effects. Emotions ranging from warmth and good humour, to deep black moods can also be very poignant. I find there can be more stimulation and insight gained from delving through hidden layers of the mind, than from focusing on any outer realm. What I produce just depends on what doors I encourage to open. I find it a constant challenge to try and recreate what I visualise. I can never truly pinpoint it and this is what fuels my motivation.

Most of my ideas and inspirations are gained from watching my two cats Mungo and Mingus. They are sisters and do not get on very well with each other. This makes observing them totally absorbing. The way they try and out maneuver each other taking the others’ favorite sleeping place, or taking command of the landing upstairs, daring anyone to invade.
Mingus sleeps a lot on the back of the couch in the window looking at the traffic and the cat next door. She gets very excited when she comes around, jumping up at the window, following her every move. She seems to be posing with every movement she makes. The sunlight streams though this window and creates a halo around her that she doesn’t deserve. They were great when they were kittens. As with all kittens they were up to as much mischief as possible, getting into impossible places, having to be rescued every five minutes and then doing it all over again. It was hard work trying to keep up with drawing them. It was a period of great inspiration and I still have sketchbooks full of ideas for paintings of this time.
At the end of the day, when I would be relaxing on the couch looking at my days work, one of the cats would come and sit on my lap like a critic and look at the paintings with me. They never, however, show that they like or dislike them - they just look.

A subtle, deadpan humour makes his whimsical acrylics uniquely engaging and his desire to "get it right" with everything he does guarantees artwork that is always carefully rendered and perfectly finished.
