Rossano Poletti

Rossano Poletti

Fine Artist

Poletti was born in Carpi, Italy, in 1970. At an early age, he displayed an aptitude for art and was encouraged by his teacher to draw, paint and to participate in other art-related activities. Poletti attended Art high school in Modena, but he dropped out of it and left before graduating. After that he attended professional courses in Grosseto, Tuscany, learning different techniques such as Encausto and Trompe d’Oeil. Poletti had gained a certain celebrity status amidst famous prizes in his town and developing a career as a solo Artist at his very young age. He first started to gain recognition as an artist in 1996 when he made his first exhibition in Carpi (Modena). He continued exhibiting his works between Milan and Tuscany.

In 1997 he moved to London trying to develop as much experience as possible and try to be in touch with the international art business. He choose this capital because his fascinating and glamorous crowd and because he was always been attracted to this cosmopolitan city where he found the perfect mix between art and contemporary Society. He lives and work today in his studio in Kilburn..

His Art change all the time. He normally paint with oil colours and sometimes he apply metallic glue or mixed media. In his early years as a young artist, he started to work on abstract compositions trying to find the perfect match between colours, forms and abstract subjects. He has been always captured from the beauty of American Pop Art from the 50s showing a deep interest for Jackson Pollock. But recently, due to a mature and different experience of life, he moved to a new concept of art and he choose the Figurative as the base for his artistic expressions. The new works representing in large scale common people living the city in his common habit and style life or choosing character from the world of fashion and glamorous magazines. This is for him a sort of a new wave of Pop Art. Behind those images he try to find often a symbolic message and the relation between the aesthetic expression of the fashion world and the common expression of natural people. He also experimented different work techniques including digital print.

Andrew Lucas

Artist

I have been painting watercolours for over 15 years, and within these years I have built up my portfolio to what it results in today. I am self taught in the medium of watercolour, and have developed my style over many years. As well as watercolour paintings, I have touched in recent years illustration commissions, which when published have proven a big success.

The biggest honour for me was being invited to parliament along with other people who contributed to the book, to meet with MPs, and discuss how ” The day the digger ate our wall ” came to be. I have been working hard on new collections of work, with a view to exhibit again in the near future.

I am also keen to hold various exhibitions not just within the UK but within Russia also, a country that I hold very close. With both the UK and Russia, my aim is to allow as many people as possible to see my art, from far and wide areas of each country, and to enjoy watercolours as much as I enjoy painting them.

Installation art, performance, participation projects, writing, notebooks, reflective practice, video work.

I developed my skills, and took up some positive opportunities through study at University Campus Suffolk, Ipswich. The essential tools and experience to be an independent feminine artist to express a good well defined practice, has enabled hopefullness and enlightenment, as my work is informed by my mental illness. In years gone by the necessary training to be an artist would entail astronomy and anatomy amongst many subjects. It’s taken me a while I admit, and I am deeply proud that I persevered and passed.
I have studied many things, but I have gained and learned some really positive and professional skills on this Degree in Fine Art. I plan to do what I can and make the most of my skills and life experiences.

Maria Cassidy

Maria Cassidy

Artist

Maria Cassidy studied Fine Art at Loughborough University School of Art and Design achieving a First Class Honours BA in 2010. After Graduating in the summer, Maria was one of sixteen artists selected from four hundred applicants to exhibit in Dublin’s newest Art Gallery, KT Contemporary, featured recently in the Irish Times.

Maria’s practice explores both the existing and the surreal in an amalgamation of found imagery. Through two dimensional and three dimensional collage and assemblage, she dissects familiar imagery and reconstructs the fragments to form new narratives. As an avid collector of postcards she explores the placement of these visual facades alongside images documented and exposed daily throughout the media.

She is both politically and historically motivated to fabricate works exploring both the old and the new. Her work is a delicate weaving of events and places, inviting the viewer to delve deep into the constructed layers. Her work does not create a closed picture but an idea with endless possibilities.

Through the smoke screen, we are given a glimpse of a disagreeable truth, a reminder of the reality we live in. The works are often humorous and surreal, with an occasional hidden truth realised on closer inspection.

Mark Surridge

Artist

In 1997 Mark Surridge (b.1963) moved from London to set up home and studio in the depths of the Cornish countryside, since then he has established himself as one of the new and exciting generation of artists, exhibiting nationally and within the region.

Landscape and the elemental forces of nature have been major inspirations in his work, resulting in ambitious large scale paintings and more recently, construction paintings, sculpture, installation and print making.

Surridge’s distinctive and individual work has been in numerous solo and mixed exhibitions as well as art fairs and open art competitions. The painting Storm Glow was shown in the Tate St. Ives exhibition ‘Art Now Cornwall’ in 2007, confirming his reputation as an emerging mid career artist.

Steven Lane

Art Tutor/Art Foundation Course Leader at Priestley College

Over the years I have worked alone but often found myself working in collaboration with others including, Mark Hill during my MA at the Royal Academy Schools, The group USE and most recently a fellow artist and tutor(whilst in Berlin).
At the heart of most concerns has been a enquiry of real space and possible opportunities that arise to question it, use it and learn from it.

During recent times I have attempted to record my experiences of space and movement through poetry, but as yet I have no plans to self publish these efforts,but I do find it a great companion in the small time that is left over.

I am currently looking to open a free gallery on my allotment site – To invite less precious works to be made,related or installed.

I am also working on a viral free bike project – which will aim to release free bikes for use in the city – one by one , using QR codes attached to bikes to release bike locks.

Julia Sarradet

Julia Sarradet

Artist

Shifting light, frosty fields, spring’s blushing pinks, or the ocean’s ever changing moods, are my spiritual inspiration to paint. There are works created from an exact moment in time, and those inspired from a feeling, and an exquisite memory. Often my works just demand to be created, and there is that wonderful connection, where all sense of time is lost, and I experience absolute divine bliss. Simply, I paint because I am, and must.

My work has sold throughout North America, Europe, as well as the Caribbean. I have participated in numerous group shows, as well as have had solo shows. My work can be found in corporate collections. I am published in magazines, as well as newspapers, and have been interviewed by radio as well as television.

Louise McNaught

Louise McNaught

 Artist

McNaught primarily uses a neon colour palette to depict the presence of nature in her work, where the animals are God-like, Sublime and ethereal in their luminescence. Not wishing to limit herself or her subject matter, McNaught has a mixed-media approach which usually manifests in painted-drawings on traditional and sometimes unusual supports, such as celestial maps.

Her soft style suggests a delicate relationship between nature and ourselves, making a clear point about man’s destruction of nature – which flutters jewel-like in the balance. By subverting traditional representation she hints at darker consequences, yet paradoxically giving animals an elevated status making them look as though they are literally shining from within. By drawing the viewers attention to the animals presence and energy, McNaught is hoping to share with the viewer the awe that the natural world inspires within her.

Eric Gaskell

Eric Gaskell

Painter, Printmaker

Eric Gaskell was born in Wigan, England in 1957 and studied painting and printmaking at Wigan College and Sunderland University. He left art college in 1980 winning two painting scholarships, one to New York and one to Istanbul, as well as the Sunderland Echo Fine Art prize. He is a member of the Society of Graphic Fine Art.

I have been painting and exhibiting since 1980 and believe good draftmanship is a prerequisite of good art and I always have a drawing book in use, drawing from life and experience. Generally the “life” helps to realise form and structure, while the “experience” lets me move ideas forward.
My work is about the process of making a picture. I let the works swap ideas each picture influencing the next. When an idea, a mark, or a colour works on one, I use it on others. I work on board (mdf) were I like to feel the resistance of the surface and I use acrylics which lets me reform the painting, block out areas and change colour balances fast, but I also use canvas and oil, when the picture lets me. I am interested in letting the picture develop from within itself. Allowing shape and colour, texture and mark to suggest the next, letting the image dictate and change the form. The lino cut has become an important part of my work, where the graphic and immediate mark-making suit the way I think. So far.

Eric’s studio is always open to visitors who would like to look through all the work, talk about drawing and painting and maybe, just maybe, buy an original. But first please email Eric or telephone on 01788 521182.

With the influence of forgotten maritime history the work engages with the perception of memorial and death. Through video and photography time is slowed down for the contemplation of loss – an ongoing process with its own poignant beauty.

Stephanie Rew

Stephanie Rew

Artist

My primary subject matter is the female figure. Always painted with a sense of ambiguity; faces half hidden, with the human form often just emerging from the darkness. The human anatomy is the predominant motif to my work and I have developed my style with the using drapery and pattern in combination with the figure.

Tone and form as well as strong light and colour is what inspires me, concentrating on the juxtaposition of tonality and texture whilst keeping a private, reflective mood with the work. Recently I have returned to my interest in dance and have been working with aerial dancers in their rehearsal space in Edinburgh, striving to capture in oil paint, the elegance, strength and drama to be found in this type of dance discipline.

I have always been heavily influenced by the Baroque style of oil painting and utilises a combination of Old Masters techniques my own. The practice of glazing is important to the finished article – creating the illusion of an inner glow to the paint. Caravaggio’s trademark use of chiaroscuro and strong colour created by glazing techniques has inspired my work for the last decade.

Born in Carlisle 1971 and raised in Edinburgh, I trained at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee, Scotland and, and soon after graduating in 1994, won the Elizabeth Greenshield Award. Since then I have been exhibiting solo shows annually in London and Glasgow and have many paintings in collections throughout the UK as well as in USA, South Africa and Australia.

Susan Aggarwal

Susan Aggarwal

Artist

Born in Manchester 1965, Susan Aggarwal’s explorative paint palette began at Shena Simon College Manchester and developed in 1986 whilst studying an Art foundation at Manchester Polytechnic (now Manchester Metropolitan University). With her love and interest for colour and texture, she went onto Huddersfield University where she completed a HND and ATI in Textile/ Design and graduated in 1990.
“…and so I dip my paint brush into my soul and paint my nature”
Enthused by nature and her passion for creativity, Susan loves to explore wonderful colours and textures with an abundant sense of freedom. The collection of expressive work is a very personal representation of the artist’s very own experience of life, beauty, the natural world and her artistic response to it.

The collection on show represents my love for life. For it is the experience and emotion which I seek to capture in my work. A joyous abundance of colourful moments.
