Josh Bowe

Glasgow School of Art (Print making and Illustration )

Highly accomplished in its deployment of various materials and techniques, Josh Bowe’s work, although primarily figurative, nonetheless represents an on-going investigation into the fundamentals of representation and abstraction. At once complex and intuitive, his paintings combine form, colour and texture to create a strong sense of vigour and dynamism, the contrasting figurative and abstract pictorial elements stimulating the viewer to see familiar subjects in fresh and challenging ways.

Betül Katıgöz

University of Wolverhampton (MA Design and Applied Arts Ceramics , 2012)

I am interested in creating handmade objects through which I can communicate my innermost feelings. My vessels explore the relationship between fragility and strength, logic and emotion. Touching the clay enables me to convey these feelings through the repetitive actions of developing hollow forms. I use very rough brick clay to create my work which for me represents the physical state of the human body. However my forms are delicate and petit representing my emotional state.

Louise M S Morgan

Coventry University (Masters Degree in Fine Art )

My work was once described as like “jazz” by a lecturer at university ... a seemingly unconnected, random series of images when viewed singly but, when viewed as a whole, create a holistic body of work that inexplicably are recognisable as my work

 

I create what inspires and moves me in a way that best expresses the soul of my subject.. the essence

ARTIST’S STATEMENT 2009

Jackie Morris

Bath Spa University (MFA Fine Art, 2007 , 2007)

In this body of work I have re-focused on my approach to abstract painting. The main images are taken from reproductions of art historical paintings. The human figure is removed, allowing the fabric and its folds to take centre stage. I have studied both historical and contemporary art to juxtapose possible relationships between the two. In the historical context the gesture becomes figurative, however as a comment on the contemporary the figurative is manipulated to imply the gestural.

Leah Michelle

Courtauld Institute of Art (MA Art History , 2009)

Leah’s vibrant multi-layered acrylic paintings are created with the idea of capturing the beauty that is always around us. Her primary focus is creating beautiful works of art that make viewers smile and live in the moment. Her background in Italian Renaissance Art influences her use of compositional constraints combined with loose, distinct brushstrokes to purposefully provide the viewer with a way to relate directly with the organised painted surface. It depicts the essence of how colour can be the source of beauty in itself regardless of the subject matter.
