Anne Davison

Anne Davison originally studied Printed Textiles BA(Hons) at Middlesex University, graduating in 1984 and established a fashion textile design brand in Shoreditch in 1985, selling worldwide to the fashion industry in the UK, Japan, France, Germany and the USA. Amongst others, previous clients have included Yves Saint Laurent, Mantero, Etro, Daniel Hechter, Tommy Hilfiger, Macy’s and Diane von Furstenberg.

Anne now works from her studio on the Thames, having shifted her focus to producing original artworks and home furnishings, selling to retailers, interior designers as well as TV and film.

Anne Davison limited-edition prints, collages and rugs are designed and created in her bright sunny studio in Woolwich, Southeast London. Inspired and influenced by artists such as Wilhelmina Barnes-Graham, Eduardo Chillida, Ben Nicholson and Alexander Girard, Anne is predominantly interested in abstract shapes colour and pattern. Each new piece begins with creating a range of stencilled, lino printed and screen-printed papers, I enjoy experimenting with different techniques, colour combinations and the freedom this stage gives me. From here, Anne moves to development – using paper collage to explore proportion, pattern, and to the final composition.

Carl Rowe

Carl Rowe studied Fine Art at Manchester Polytechnic, graduating with an MA in 1985. He currently lives in Norwich and is a former Associate Professor and Course Leader in Fine Art at Norwich University of the Arts. He is an artist member and studio holder at OUTPOST in Norwich and is also a member of the Printmakers Council. Carl Rowe has an international profile as both an artist and an academic. His work has been exhibited widely in the UK as well as in Germany, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Canada, US, Estonia, Japan, Malaysia and Egypt. In addition to studio production he has also worked on public art including billboards, print portfolios and hospital art. In 2018 Rowe was commissioned by Hospital Rooms to make work for Woodlands Mental Health Unit at Ipswich Hospital and is currently engaged in a new project with Hospital Rooms.

“My art switches back and forth between an engagement with socio-political issues and subconscious renderings.

I can’t escape my concern for the wrongdoing in the world and within my art a surface layer of humour, absurdity and the arcane masks a strong undercurrent of concern for humanity. When I ease off the direct engagement with current affairs, symbols, objects and graphic devices float up from somewhere in my memory and arrange themselves in unlikely compositions.”

Carl Rowe works with both paint, sculpture and print process. The materials that I use are often intrinsically connected with the images they portray such as the work Drool, an installation made with ink containing herbs and spices from the G20 countries and the Serbian paprika used in Deprecated Location, a screen print depicting Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Recent paintings, drawings, sculptures and prints present an obsession with clay pipe fragments, hazard warnings, cylindrical containers and clouds of particulates.

Hugh Hamshaw Thomas

Hugh Hamshaw Thomas received critical acclaim in the 1990’s for his large scale installations that categorised found plastic flowers into pseudo botanical collections. These works explored ideas of mortality, trace and memory through a finely balanced play of what was being represented through simulacra.

Recent work continues the reconfiguration of pictorial and historical associations through digitally manipulated photographs of Landscape that pose challenges to how seeing is mediated by the language of art.

The work of Hugh Hamshaw Thomas depicts intimate picturesque scenes familiar to the decorative arts, trees meeting waters edge of pond or river quoting the arcadian, idealised representations of historical contexts.

In so doing pictorial conventions of colour schema and style are exposed as the signifiers of meaning.

There is a subtle negotiation of how experience, memory, nostalgia and cliche are embedded within the pictorial conventions of what Landscape depiction is so often associated.

There is an imbued sense of dwelling with nature as the mirror. Nature and our gaze on it as the mediation as to the viewers place in what we experience and how we represent it.

Jad Oakes

London-based Jad Oakes explores the possibilities of photography and the moving image for sculptural installations, prints and photogravures.

His works are presented as collections or bodies of work that are connected by their process, theme and technique. The main thread that ties these bodies of works together is a fascination with memory and time.

Since 2014 he has developed and nurtured an ongoing series of small scale silent looping film installations housed in wooden sculptures titled Vessels.

Condensed Vessel Videos:

Dreams of Somewhere Else
Moonscape 50
Memory Vessel

Using timbers of Oak, Walnut and Bog Oak these moving image sculptures seek to connect with the viewer by projecting them into an alternative space and time.

Of the Vessels series he notes a desire to “create intimate emotive sculptures, enticing contemplation and memory.”

Jad Oakes was awarded the Aesthetica Prize at the 2019 ING Discerning Eye Exhibition.

Lucy Cooper

Lucy Cooper is a London-based artist and print maker whose current work explores the theme of reflection. Water reflections feature in many of her prints, while reflection in the broader sense of contemplation and consideration also runs through her art.

Lucy’s prints invariably feature everyday sights of her local Docklands neighbourhood, which she photographs and then develops digitally. With a lifelong fascination with water and its constantly changing colours, textures and moods, she is particularly interested in the way light plays on the surface of water and the distortions made by reflections in water and glass.

Recent work exploring reflections, colours and patterns in contemporary London architecture expands this to the built environment. Exploiting the seemingly infinite possibilities and potential of working digitally, Lucy Cooper explores unusual and often unexpected combinations of colour and pattern, transforming the original photograph into a semi-abstract artwork inviting the viewer to consider the subject from a different perspective.

These images are then output as limited edition fine art giclée prints.

Artful Dodger

Artful Dodger is widely credited with being one of the first Aerosol Writers/Urban Artists to emerge from the UK, serving as an influence to some of today’s top UK Urban Artists. Over the years, he has evolved professionally to have clients which include the BBC, Channel 4, EA Games, LucasFilm (Star Wars), MTV, The South Bank Show, as well as a well-known breakfast cereal.

On the community arts side of his portfolio, he has a strong background in both organising and facilitating a variety of creative mural projects and workshops. Working mainly in inner cities with disadvantaged youth and other young people (through children’s arts charities such as SP8 Of The Art).

He has also been involved in projects in the US, Italy, France, Spain, Hungary, Romania and Ukraine, as well as all over the UK. One of his projects on the now fallen Aylesbury Estate in SE London, even won an award from the late Princess of Wales.

Employing an eclectic palette of media, ranging from spray-paint and acrylics to pastels and graphics tablets, he takes the inspiration for his paintings from the intrinsic beauty of nature, as well as a vast range of musical styles, urban and pop culture influences. Along with this, he describes his work as being a combination of ‘liquid light’ and ‘visual music’.
