Amy Salisbury

Amy Salisbury is never happier than when she has got paint between her toes…..literally! ‘I guess you could say I’m a converted art conservator and designer who prefers to get her hands dirty.’

She has produced commissioned art which is dotted around hotels, offices and private homes from London to Warsaw. Amy studied at UCL and The Courtauld Institute of Art, and has worked in the arts for over 25 years.

Amy Salisbury’s latest collection is inspired by the BBC series ‘Blue Planet’ and the underwater world and aerial shots of our beautiful world. The free flowing nature of the paints and technique used reflects the natural patterns – uncontrollable and moving to its’ own rhythm.

Different forms of nature can be seen within these paintings – and I hope each viewer will see something new for themselves.

Living Wall Murals

Living Wall Murals is the duo Mary West and Clara Wilkinson. Mary studied Fine Art at the Slade and Clara studied at St. Martins and Camberwell before training for a career in interior design.

Our murals came about through a love of painting and a shared aesthetic in design and interiors. We began by experimenting in colour and scale on the walls of our own homes and then, through word of mouth our business grew. We now specialise in botanical and abstract murals for domestic or commercial interiors. Our projects range in scale from bold and bonkers, to delicate fine foliage.

Living Wall Murals have created many murals in London and Brighton over the past two years. Our latest commissions include a 13 metre mural in a private house in Highgate. A 5 metre mural at Huddle London and a new commission for a 25 metres mural for a London hospital. Our paintings and prints are also available.

We like creating art that doesn’t add more stuff to the world. We bring beauty and a little bit of ‘up-cycling’ to your wall.

Colin Rose

Colin Rose has worked as a sculptor for over thirty years. He has exhibited throughout the UK and Europe and has undertaken many public sculpture commissions.

He has undertaken public sculpture commissions for a very wide range of clients in various mediums. Colin usually works by taking a brief from the client and allowing the brief and the site to lead the design. Over the years he has worked in a variety of mediums from mirror polished stainless steel to stone. More unusually he has worked with Rope, Brick and even Coal Dust depending on the requirement of the brief.

While developing his practice Colin taught fine art and was head of Sculpture at Sunderland University from 2000 till 2006.

In addition to making sculpture, Colin Rose has a strong passion for drawing and the immediacy the process offers. The understanding gained through drawing is an important tool in the development of his designs and his working practice.

Martha Winter

Martha Winter was born and grew up in London. Her work is the unusual outcome of many influences. Growing up with minimal art and modern architecture influenced her visual language of reduced and economical form.

Martha is fascinated by systems, repetition and order, often working in series. She has regularly witnessed the extreme erosion of the coastline, which has given her an interest in the natural processes which form the landscape.

Martha Winter has developed her own unique processes, creating pieces reminiscent of satellite imagery and microscopy.

Through her work, she seeks to reach a combination of these ingredients, aiming for a point of tension and harmony where a frisson occurs.

Luke Elwes

Luke Elwes (b.1961) lives and works in London. He studied at Bristol University, Camberwell School of Art and Birkbeck, London University (Art History MA 2007).

Throughout the 1990s he travelled extensively, discovering and revisiting remote desert and mountain locations in India, Asia and North Africa. In 1998 he was artist in residence on an expedition to Mount Kailash, a holy mountain in western Tibet.

Since 2000 he has worked for extensive periods on an island off the East Coast of the UK. In 2013 he was awarded a grant to study at the Vermont Studio Centre and in 2015 he was resident artist at the Albers Foundation (USA). In 2011 he was invited to give an ‘Artist’s Eye’ talk at the National Gallery.

The idea of a journey is central to Luke Elwes paintings, both its physical and temporal unfolding and its recollection in memory. As well as recording particular journeys, the paintings reveal, like a hieroglyphic text, the many layers of history buried beneath the surfaces of these places. Rooted in the particular, the images also probe an interior space. They become maps of the ‘geographical unconscious’, suggesting both the trail of our presence and the passage of time.

Jacqueline Real

Jacqueline Real was born in Zurich and studied in Switzerland and Austria.

“To me, painting means feeling intensely, living, expressing the inexpressible with paint. It means listening to your innermost self, being quiet, being impulsive, marvelling, hoping – seeing the light and being overwhelmed.”

Jacqueline Real’s pictures unearth landscapes and nature buried deep in the unconscious. Above all, it is the colours which, in their harmonious composition and their precise contrasts result in a subliminal experience.

She has had many Solo and Group Exhibitions in Switzerland, England, Germany and USA. Jacqueline is a member of Visarte, Switzerland and Fellow of Free Painters and Sculptors, London.

Jaqueline Real has work in many private and public collections including Risk Publications, UBS, CS, Tokio Bank, British Government, Crown Court Truro, Marc Rich, Johnson & Johnson, Strutt & Parker, Morgan, Lewis and Bockius, SmithKline Beecham, Holiday Inn Express etc….etc

Alex Pearce

Alex Pearce is a painter of cityscapes and other landscapes.

The constant pushing and pulling of mediums has been a key element with in his paintings. This has allowed his exploration of cityscapes and the manipulation of light to be constantly moving forward and changing. As the cityscape changes with every new building or as the sun or moon changes with every new day.

The subject of his paintings is the manipulation of light in a cityscape and its modern architecture. It is the small details which help to build up his paintings. Through the use of photography and drawing Alex has been able to capture some of the development in London.

The details that can be seen in his work come from observing the city and its architecture. This has allowed Alex to experience the key details people notice. Why certain people stop to discover an architectural feature that catches their attention. It is these details that become noticeable in the drawings or paintings of architecture.

Alex Pearce’s painting style has taken on an abstracted yet romantic theme. The colours in his paintings being very nostalgic. This is key to creating the notion of silence and subtlety when being viewed. Together with this calming nature it is the dominant forms of the buildings and features that help to give presence to his paintings.

Max Mortiboys

Max Mortiboys paintings are as much about the denial of gesture as being a celebration of gesture. His work involves drawing, painting and scanning practices, with the idea of extracting and magnifying constantly.

His large scale paintings arise from an instinctive, almost chaotic process. This involves pulling apart and reassembling visual and material components.

The thick and unforgiving house gloss paint he uses, corresponds directly with the heavily primed white canvas, elevating every mark.

Hidden in the clean finished aesthetic of the paintings, a few tricks and games subtly occur. Be it the sudden ruptures in movement or variations in line and colour.

For his latest body of work, he uses a limited and bold colour palette on large scale canvas, translating the essence of his textural inspiration in a stripped back style into his own gestural language.

Max Mortiboys graduated from Chelsea College of Arts in 2018.

David Dodsworth

David Dodsworth is a well established artist. The most common question he is asked is; “what kind of thing do you do”? The answer is always a different, generally reflecting the most recent works that he has been involved with.

In previous work he has looked closely at the imagery of prehistory, and calligraphy in many different language systems, using paint and print.

A commission for a series of glass bowls and sculptures being made in Los Angeles took his work in a totally new direction.

David Dodsworth has a wide range of interests and many of the pieces are derived from nature, architecture, and geometric composition. However, some things; his love of music, and its resonance for instance, is best expressed abstractly.

His approach is best described as eclectic (n) one who uses a method or approach that is composed of elements drawn from various sources or (in art) selecting what seems best from various styles, doctrines, ideas, methods, etc.

At the moment he is looking at the way that technology and digitisation can be used to obscure, reveal, or degenerate a figurative image, combined with layers of consciousness.
