The London Group

Ian Parker

Ian Parker was born in Wolverhampton and lived in England, Guyana and Nigeria as a child.

Claire Parrish

A strong reoccurring emotion is my starting point for collecting thousands of internet images.

Janet Patterson

My painting is semi abstract colourfield work and I draw my inspiration from the environment; I am influenced in particular by the minutiae of my surroundings.

Chris Poulton

My work is concerned primarily with phenomenological experience, the appearance and disappearance of memory and the objects associated with it within a Sculptural language.

Daniel Preece

My recent paintings use the city as a starting point to explore formal issues of geometry and colour and to express the excitement and dynamism of the city.

Alex Ramsay

‘Edge of Town 2’ is from an ongoing series of paintings that are concerned with urban landscape and notions of travel.

Victoria Rance

My work is concerned with creating spaces for people to inhabit, either actually or in the imagination.

I have always regarded drawing as my way of coming to grips with an idea on the assumption that if I can generate a satisfactory graphic solution, I shall have reached a more complete understanding of its subject.

David Redfern

Historically there has always been conflict between belief and rational thought, focused on the classifications of religion and science.

Dame Paula Rego DBE

“It was an exhibition at the beginning of the Eighties that made her conspicuous. It was comic and disturbing; a frightening sequence of paintings of delinquent monkeys, horribly human in its implications.”

Tom Scase

“E.M. Forster’s dictum to “only connect” could be the guiding principal for Tom Scase.”

Tommy Seaward

There are several constants to Tommy Seaward’s process: his work is three-dimensional, always wall mounted and each piece is divided into three precisely spaced, vertically aligned segments.

Suzan Swale

Painting is the backbone of my work. I have made installations, used video, was part of a performance group for eight years and produce photo-media works, but these in a sense refer back to and coincide with what is going on in my painting.

Susan Skingle

In everyday language, the weather, stars and planets appear in pictorially vivid idioms, often charged with fatalistic humour. This correlation between individual lives and natural forces is the focus of my constructions and drawings.

David Shutt

“David Shutt is an artist of passionate integrity who revels in the beauty of appearances. He sees painting as a process of identification and revelation rather than dry classification; and as a way of apprehending the world.”

Philippa Stjernsward

Almuth Tebbenhoff

I split my working time between steel and marble.

David Tebbs

My recent paintings refer to the experience of traveling through urban spaces, particularly subways, staircases & escalators & the way commuters movement & interaction is defined within them.

Paul Tecklenberg

I am mesmerised by the rhythm and flow of the drapery as it cascades and tumbles.

David Theobald

David Theobald is a video artist born in Worthing in 1965. Although originally trained as a chemical engineer, he pursued a career in finance for fifteen years, living both in New York and London.

Michael Thorpe

I am interested in the interplay between the ‘field’ and its ‘parts’, between moment and continuity and the observer’s role in the flux of ideas, phenomena and perception.

Philippa Tunstill

My paintings are a continuous exploration of spatial ideas through colour, surface and texture which are applied and manipulated to produce an intense interactive little drama emerging out of a field of flat colour.

Bill Watson

In my sculptures there are three main themes.

Neil Weerdmeester

Beauty in the age of digital manipulation, stills in a mediated world that conjure up a hidden narrative beyond the surface of the work. Caught between the mediums where fact mixes with fiction my work seeks to open up interpretation and questions our need for answers.

Tisna Westerhof

While my practice is grounded in printmaking, I revel in breaking down the limitations of materials and reinventing traditional handicrafts. My highly tactile works capture a child like sense of delight with a combination of humour and melancholy.

Anthony Whishaw RA

My early work, 1950s/60s, grew out of great admiration for C. Permeke, Picasso, Cubists and especially Goya’s Black paintings whose horizontal format continues to intrigue and challenge me.

Arthur Wilson

I try to do no more than I know.

Susan Wilson

“I now thought of myself as living the life of a writer. . . ”

Erika Winstone

My work is the result of an ongoing dialogue between video and painting; I work with time, change and a shifting sense of presence or absence. I particularly focus on relationships between people captured on film through sound, rhythms, words and movement.

David Wiseman

I make acrylic paintings in the studio in addition to various mixed media works made outside direct from the landscape.

Gary Wragg

For me, painting celebrates the moment. It is a primal discovery of normality and impossibility cultivating everyday sensations that can be seen or felt.
