Gestural Abstraction with Cartoons and Graffiti
Featuring British artist Simon Williams
Simon Williams work feeds upon the plethora of visual material accessible in the digital age he draws inspiration from many sources most notably childhood comic books, propaganda posters, graffiti works and advertising.
Williams' work combines a lot of gestural mark making and in this layering process he is looking for structures embodied with a dynamic energy. Experimentation with materials such as acrylic ink and oil alkyd with graffiti markers and even house paint, is at the heart of his practice.

Humanity Through Expressive Art
Featuring the work of artist Albina Rolsing
Albina Rolsing is a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on versatility and vibrance, exploring abstract, figurative, colourful or monochrome, expressive or minimalistic styles.

Female Characteristics and Archetypes
Featuring work by photographer Anna Tihanyi
An award winning fine art photographer, Anna Tihanyi's practice is focused on staging scenes to tell stories, while exploring her own female self and femininity in general terms. In her on going project A Woman's Chambers Tihanyi introduces the complexity of the female existence and complements the spiritual map of the woman undermining the homogenous and universal concepts of womanhood.
Examining Transformations
The Art of Marie-Eve Cote
Marie-Ève Cote is a painter, illustrator, sculptor & caricature drawer. She is a multi faceted artist. Her art practice as an examination of different transformations is constant through each approach to convey emotion through each piece. Whether it be through portraits of people expressing their feelings or colours used to paint animals and landscapes that give a sense of connection from the viewer through indifference and perception, as chaos and disruption occur.
​
The Boundaries of Beauty
Featuring the work of Lorette C. Luzajic
Lorette C. Luzajic's art practice is driven by eclectic curiosity, and by the joy of juxtaposition.
Each of her works is assembled from an unlimited assortment of tools, themes, genres, and inspirations. Most of her work begins with a seed, a way in. Something ignites from an interesting contrast-two colours, or a found phrase or image, and she builds the piece intuitively from that starting point.

Photographic Abstracts
Featuring the work of artist D'mon Knox

He remixes familiar languages (abstract expressionism, surrealism, street art, and minimalism) to birth a new idiom for the examination of culture, race, sex, socio-economics, and blackness.
