Nick was born in 1984 in the UK and lives and works in London. He received his MA in Fine Art from Chelsea School of Art and Design in 2010 and his BA in Fine Art from Central St Martins in 2007.

Nick's paintings are like depictions of sensations. The looseness of his media – an intuitive mixture of watercolour and acrylic – echoes the grasping of the ephemeral nature of the everyday.

The artist creates his work through his imagination and an amalgam of found images or subtly taken phone images which he works up from watercolours into the compositions on canvas.

Stretched canvas and original vintage button badges

An impressive giant heart made out of many old vintage metal button badges .

Brigitte has made a few of these special pieces over the years as commissions and they now reside in homes not just in the UK but have been shipped as far afield as USA and New Zealand .

'My art reflects many of my passions. I love old printed ephemera, typography, mark making, found objects and treasures that Mother Nature gives us. Junk shops are my treasure troves. I cannot walk past a skip without having a good rummage and love nothing better than gathering pebbles or sticks on a beach or woodland walk. All this with the aim of creating something with my precious finds.'

Aquatint etching with embellishment

'This image is intentionally dark to convey the fear and anxiety of the rabbit and the predatory stealth of the sly fox. Mr Reynard has been stalking rabbits and chickens in fairy stories and in actuality since time immemorial, so the sinister progress of this cunning ‘gentleman in red’ lends itself to the darkest of illustrations. In recent times wily, amoral Mr Fox has gained some popularity in the suburbs but my sympathy lies with the prey.'

By exploring the lived realities of people, animals and nature, Marcus Coates attempts to understand how we relate to each other and the world around us. He re-enacts states of being - a process of radical empathy - to question what it means to be alive now, as well as our history and future. His motivation is to create, examine and critique relational tools. Sometimes, these explorations move beyond the limits of conventional language. Coates' approach is often functional with a social and ecological impact in mind. He works collaboratively, bringing in members of the public, individuals, organisations and institutions, as well as experts from a wide range of disciplines. These include: anthropologists, ornithologists, wildlife sound recordists, choreographers, politicians, psychiatrists, palliative care consultants, musicians and primatologists. Together with Coates, they seek answers to questions about humanity, the natural world and the cross overs between them. He exposes the disconnects within us and the societies we have created. New ways of relating are proposed and put into practice.

'I started a series of biscuit fantasies, when I became interested in custard cream decorations. They are rather ornate for something to be consumed with a cuppa, and the mould they made them from must have been metal, not unlike an etching plate. I went on to create Jammy Dodgers ( new & old) moving into Outer Space with this Jam Sandwich. The sugar crystals like stars or planets or meteor rocks falling from Space.'

He received a BA (Hons) from the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL in 2008, an MFA from the Bezalel Academy of Art in 2012, and recently completed his PhD at the Slade in 2020.

'As an artist and gallery owner, my work centers around the tactile and transformative nature of printmaking. In each piece, I seek to capture the intricacies of both the creative process and the timeless beauty of original prints. I’m drawn to the delicate balance between intention and spontaneity, where traditional techniques meet the unexpected outcomes unique to each print.

My gallery showcases an evolving collection of original prints, each an exploration of texture, tone, and form. Printmaking, for me, is a dialogue between artist and medium—each layer, each press of the plate, revealing something unanticipated yet deeply intentional. Through my work, I aim to invite viewers into this intimate process, encouraging them to experience the art not just as observers but as part of the narrative that each piece tells.

In presenting my work, I hope to shed light on the discipline and artistry of printmaking, a craft that demands patience, precision, and respect for tradition. By sharing my prints and the story behind their creation, I strive to deepen appreciation for this medium and its enduring place in contemporary art.'

Pato Bosich, born in Chile in 1978, is a London-based contemporary artist. He graduated from Camberwell School of Art in 2004. Pato has exhibited in the National Museum in Stockholm, Ateneum Art Museum in Finland, London University, The Courtauld Institute in London, the MSSA and MAM Museums in Chile, Sberbank University in Moscow and Sun Gallery in Seoul, South Korea.

Pato's works are a merging of his own symbolic narratives with an ongoing dialogue between the artist and antiquity. Fed and grown out of correspondences, interactions, and exchanges, a procession of symbols is set in motion in playful spirit and recurs in the paintings: the tower-castle; landmark buildings and the artist's studio; urban tree corners, the street at night; the horse. In his works, the elated and exploding characters merge with their natural surroundings and the city of London where all of these visions are taking place.

Angela’s prints explore the mystery and the glory of the landscape, both rural, urban, and imagined. She often visits Norfolk where she is attracted to the vast open spaces and huge skies, so typical of the area. She enjoys depicting the ever-changing effects of light and colour at different times of the day, and as the seasons roll through the year.

Her most recent work has focussed on drypoint in conjunction with a second monoprint plate as she likes the excitement of making each image distinct and individual. She has also been experimenting with light-based transfer of her drawings (often from memory) on to solar plate.

Angela has exhibited her work in many galleries including Royal West of England Academy, The National Theatre, The Dulwich Picture Gallery, Oxo Gallery, The Mall Galleries, The Menier Gallery, Glyndebourne Festival Gallery, and the Biscuit Factory Gallery, Newcastle.

Naori graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2007 with a Masters Degree in Mixed Media. Born in western Japan, Naori studied sculpture in Tokyo and New York before settling in England. Naori’s work is illustrative and strongly autobiographical. Her work employs humour to convey the darker, more sinister side of everyday life. Working with textiles, she employs domestic craft skills, such as hand-knitting, crochet, embroidery, appliqué and hand-felt, along with digital technology, like computerised embroidery. Her work has a narrative element, inspired by folk tales and nursery rhymes, where reality, daydreams and nightmares merge into one surreal world. The appearance of charm and naivety belies the subversive concepts that influence her pieces.

Bjork’s pieces are hand-built vessels which are manifestations of the enduring themes of her experience. They are a conversation between the pseudo-perfection of geometric pattern and the tactile impurity of hand-manipulated clay. They are not sterile and porcelain-perfect but visceral mini monoliths, which have layers of complexity built into superficially simple constructions.
